Tobacco cigarette smoking increases arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP), which are
independent predictors of cardiovascular risk. 1, 2 Heat-not-burn cigarette (HNBC) products …

HTP groups (p< 0.01; Figure 1B) and returned to baseline after 45 minutes. The four groups
differed significantly from each other within the two-way repeated-measures ANOVA and …

Aims One of the most important mechanisms by which smoking contributes to cardiovascular
disease is endothelial dysfunction, including arterial stiffness. However, the effects of …

Smoking is associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, the impact of smoking
cessation on arterial stiffness remains unknown. We investigated the effect of smoking …

Objectives. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indicator of arterial stiffness, especially in the
aorta, and a marker for vascular damage. Smoking is reported to increase arterial stiffness …

Background Cigarette smoking is one important preventable cause of cardiovascular illness
that has been associated with increased stiffness of large arteries and wave reflection, which …

Background Cigarette smoking is a threat to global human health and a leading cause of the
cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Importantly, sex-specific differences …

Objective: Smoking is a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor closely related to arterial
stiffness (AS). However, data are lacking regarding the chronic effects of smoking on AS …

Background: Although the acute increase of arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP) after
cigarette smoking in healthy smokers is considered a possible mechanism of increased …

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in arterial stiffness parameters after
smoking a cigarette or e-cigarette use. Methods Fifteen healthy women, aged 19-25 years …
