Abstract:Background:
Circulating Angiogenic Cells (CAC) are known to aid in endothelial repair and are a promising marker of vascular function. Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) have been hypothesized to impact vascular health, however the association between ENDS and CACs is unknown.
Hypothesis:
We hypothesize that ENDS use, sole or dual, will be significantly associated with CAC levels.
Methods:
We analyz… Show more
