A case of acute respiratory distress and newly onset reduced systolic function in a previously healthy young male with e-cigarette use and vaping is presented.
Abstract
The potential adverse effects of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use or vaping on pulmonary function have been previously well documented, with the diagnosis of e-cigarette- or vaping-use-associated lung injury (EVALI) has become increasingly common. The potential effects in terms of cardiovascular function and vaping is an area that is less well understood. We present a case of acute respiratory distress and newly onset reduced systolic function in a previously healthy young male.
