Association Between Electronic Cigarette Use and Myocardial Infarction.

TL;DR: In this paper , a shared decision-making approach was used when discussing e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool and more studies and long-term data are needed to assess potential benefits and harms.

TL;DR: A school-based educational session was significantly associated with improved adolescent knowledge about e-cigarette, increased the perceived harmfulness and addictiveness of e-cigarettes, and reduced intent to try e- cigarettes.

TL;DR: If all FDA-certified strategies for TC smoking cessation have been tried without success, then ECs may be a reasonable strategy forTC smoking cessation, but the message to non-TC smokers must be clear and unwavering: non TC-smokers should not use ECs - they are not harmless.

TL;DR: The contribution of e-cigarettes in the development of cardiovascular diseases and their molecular underpinnings is outlined and oxidative stress and inflammation are unifying mechanisms at many levels of the cardiovascular impairment induced by e-cigarette exposure.

TL;DR: A quintet of potentially modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease exists in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which are increased concentrations of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, decreased concentrations of high density cholesterol, raised blood pressure, hyperglycaemia, and smoking.

TL;DR: The findings of this study are consistent with the idea that substituting tobacco cigarettes with e-cigarettes may substantially reduce exposure to selected tobacco-specific toxicants.

TL;DR: Epicardial and microvascular coronary endothelial dysfunction independently predict acute cardiovascular events in patients with and without CAD, providing both functional and prognostic information that complements angiographic and risk factor assessment.

TL;DR: Questionnaire data are of greatest value in life-threatening, acute-onset diseases and chronic disorders requiring ongoing management and are more accurate in young women and better-educated subjects.
