Vaping's hidden toll on the heart: a two-year deep dive

NCT ID NCT05757934

First seen Jul 10, 2026 ยท Last updated Jul 10, 2026

Summary

This study follows 172 adults over two years to compare cardiovascular function among four groups: vapers who previously smoked, vapers who never smoked, people who both vape and smoke, and ex-smokers who do not vape. Researchers measure blood vessel health, lung function, and blood markers of heart disease risk. The goal is to understand whether long-term vaping poses heart risks, especially for those who never smoked.
