The Acute Effect of Passive Smoking on QT Dispersion in 95 Healthy Men

Background: Passive cigarette smoking is a known cause of a variety of diseases.  However, most of the studies done in this field have focused on its chronic effects on human health.  Studies considering the acute effect of smoking on QT dispersion, on the other hand, with its known predictive role in the occurrence ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death are sparse. Objectives: This st...

The Impact of Opium Dependence and Cigarette Smoking on Human Semen Parameters

Introduction: To examine the effects of opium dependence and cigarette smoking on semen quality and sperm parameters, the semen quality of men who abuse opiates and/or smoke cigarettes was investigated in a retrospective study. Methods: Male partners of 1325 infertile couples attending the infertility clinic for intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure were divided into non-smoking non-op...

Cigarette smoking, gastric acid secretion, and serum pepsinogen I concentrations in duodenal ulcer patients.

Cigarette smoking has been linked with duodenal ulcer disease although the mechanism of this association is unclear. This study assessed basal gastric secretory response to acute smoking of smokers with an active duodenal ulcer; in addition the possible effects of chronic smoking on gastric secretory capacity, as expressed by pentagastrin stimulated gastric acid secretion and fasting serum peps...

The Acute Effect of Cigarette Smoking on QT Dispersion

Background: Cigarette smoking has several known detrimental effect on cardiovascular system.  QT dispersion (QTd) is among the important predictors of cardiac death. Objective:  To assess the acute effect of smoking of a single standard cigarette on QT and QTc (corrected QT) dispersion, hence on the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in healthy smokers and non-smokers. Methods: 111 healthy men wit...
