Fig. 6. Inhalation exposure to E-cig aerosols increases cardiac arrhythmias.

Fig. 6

a Mean ± SEM number of arrhythmias per hour of ECG monitoring in males and both sexes (inset). b Representative VPBs (arrows) in an E-Menthol-exposed male. c Mean ± SEM number of high-grade SVB events per hour of ECG monitoring in males (smaller values in right inset) and females (left inset). d Representative high-grade SVBs, resembling atrioventricular block with non-conducted P waves (upper waveform, arrow), sinoatrial block lacking P waves (lower waveform); similar block events with noise preventing confirmation of P or its absence are not shown. Significance determined by two-sided P < 0.05 (vs. Air: star) in generalized estimating equations. For box and whisker plots, upper and lower box bounds indicate 25th and 75th percentile, with horizontal mid-line denoting median, “+” indicating mean, and circles indicating individual values (for males, n = 8 for Air, PG, PG:VG, VG, Acrolein [Acro], MCS 1R5F; n = 7 for E-Menth; n = 6 for MCS 3R4F; n = 4 for E-Tobacco; for females, n = 4/exposure).
