Bs-526-01 the effect of chronic nicotine exposure on cardiac electrophysiology in the rabbit heart

Tobacco smoke exposure is associated with increased risk for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. However, the individual components of tobacco smoke that may promote arrhythmias and the underlying electrophysiological mechanisms are unknown. Nicotine (NIC) is a major component of tobacco smoke and emerging tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.
