Abstract
Contemporary society is witnessing a steady increase in e-cigarette use among youth. Numerous studies have confirmed the negative cardiovascular effects of vaping, including sudden cardiac death. In recent years, the scientific community has been actively investigating the impact of e-cigarettes on various body systems.
This article presents a unique clinical case of asystole due to sinus arrest in an adolescent who regularly used e-cigarettes. This case highlights the serious cardiac risks associated with vaping at a young age.
