Recent studies highlight significant health risks associated with vaping and atrial fibrillation (AF). A study by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) indicates that vaping increases the risk of heart failure by 19%. Dr. Fahmi J. Farah, a cardiologist, expressed concerns about the younger generation's exposure to vaping risks. Concurrently, multiple sources, including a nationwide study in Denmark involving over 360,000 individuals, observed that the lifetime risk of AF has escalated from 25% to 33% over the past decade. This condition now leads more frequently to heart failure rather than stroke, shifting the focus of health concerns and research priorities.
The lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation has increased from one in four to one in three over the past two decades, finds a new study. Heart failure, not stroke, is its most common complication @nicklas_vinter https://t.co/fqpznNgf7x
The lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation (a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate) has increased from one in four to one in three over the past two decades, as per a study published in The BMJ. https://t.co/iA6EVngqIC
A new study found that heart failure, not stroke, is the most common complication of atrial fibrillation. This raises critical questions for the research and clinical communities about how the growing burden of atrial fibrillation can be stopped https://t.co/qXsTcq9ttw
The lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation has increased from one in four to one in three over the past two decades, finds study. Among those with the condition, two in five are likely to develop heart failure over their remaining lifetime @nicklas_vinter https://t.co/fqpznNgf7x

According to a study by the @ACCinTouch, #vaping leads to a 19-percent-higher risk of #heart failure. Dr. @FahmiJFarah, a cardiologist, tells NTD that she worries for the younger generation, with many of them being exposed to such risks unknowingly. https://t.co/JbL59wCd5V
