Vaping activity continues to increase worldwide. Promoted as a 'healthier' alternative to traditional smoking, emerging evidence indicates 'healthier' should not be confused with 'harmless'. Direct inhalation exposure of the respiratory tract in experimental research demonstrates pulmonary consequences of vaping. However, cardiovascular consequences of vaping are poorly characterized and are a priority area of research to reveal vaping-induced pathogenesis.
Alterations in cardiovascular homeostasis, inflammation, and molecular changes following vaping exposure demonstrate vaping-related health concerns.
This review summarizes cardiovascular consequences of vaping from cumulative research findings. Strategic application of emerging technologies to understand the impact of vaping upon the cardiovascular system will be essential for defining the true risks of vaping-associated injury.
电子烟的使用在全球范围内持续增加。电子烟被宣传为传统吸烟的“更健康”替代品，但新出现的证据表明，“更健康”不应与“无害”相混淆。实验研究中呼吸道的直接吸入暴露表明了吸电子烟对肺部的影响。然而，吸电子烟对心血管系统的影响目前了解甚少，这是揭示电子烟诱导发病机制的一个优先研究领域。
吸电子烟后心血管稳态、炎症和分子变化的改变表明了与吸电子烟相关的健康问题。
本综述总结了累积研究结果中吸电子烟对心血管系统的影响。战略性地应用新兴技术来了解吸电子烟对心血管系统的影响，对于确定吸电子烟相关损伤的真正风险至关重要。
