Cardiovascular Assessment of the Effects of Tobacco and Nicotine Delivery Products
Abstract
The overarching goal of this project is to develop a panel of cardiovascular risk biomarkers that can detect differences in the cardiovascular safety of various tobacco products, whether conventional, new or emerging, in order to help the FDA with the task of regulating them. This will be achieved through 4 aims:
Aim 1: Determine the relative contributions of nicotine and combustion products to the cardiovascular risk of active cigarette smoking.
Aim 2: Determine which cardiovascular risk biomarkers are affected by exposure to secondhand smoke.
Aim 3: Determine the cardiovascular risk of smokeless tobacco use.
Aim 4: Determine the cardiovascular risk of electronic cigarettes and the respective contributions of nicotine and electronic cigarette vapor.
Conditions: Adverse Effect of Other Agents Primarily Affecting the Cardiovascular System, Initial Encounter.
Primary outcome: Flow-mediated Dilation of the Brachial Artery.
Enrollment: 81 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 81 participants or records.
