Abstract
Background Evidence regarding short-term effects of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and tobacco smoke on lung ventilation and perfusion is limited. Purpose To examine the immediate effect of ENDS exposure and tobacco smoke on lung ventilation and perfusion by functional MRI and lung function tests. Materials and Methods This prospective observational pilot study was conducted from November 2019 to September 2021 (substudy of randomized controlled trial NCT03589989). Included were 44 healthy adult participants (10 control participants, nine former tobacco smokers, 13 ENDS users, and 12 active tobacco smokers; mean age, 41 years ± 12 [SD]; 28 men) who underwent noncontrast-enhanced matrix pencil MRI and lung function tests before and immediately after the exposure to ENDS products or tobacco smoke. Baseline measurements were acquired after 2 hours of substance abstinence. Postexposure measurements were performed immediately after the exposure. MRI showed semiquantitative measured impairment of lung perfusion (R <sub>Q</sub> ) and fractional ventilation (R <sub>FV</sub> ) impairment as percentages of affected lung volume. Lung clearance index (LCI) was assessed by nitrogen multiple-breath washout to capture ventilation inhomogeneity and spirometry to assess airflow limitation. Absolute differences were calculated with paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test and differences between groups with unpaired Mann-Whitney test. Healthy control participants underwent two consecutive MRI measurements to assess MRI reproducibility. Results MRI was performed and lung function measurement was acquired in tobacco smokers and ENDS users before and after exposure. MRI showed a decrease of perfusion after exposure (R <sub>Q</sub> , 8.6% [IQR, 7.2%-10.0%] to 9.1% [IQR, 7.8%-10.7%]; P = .03) and no systematic change in R <sub>FV</sub> (P = .31) among tobacco smokers. Perfusion increased in participants who used ENDS after exposure (R <sub>Q</sub> , 9.7% [IQR, 7.1%-10.9%] to 9.0% [IQR, 6.9%-10.0%]; P = .01). R <sub>FV</sub> did not change (P = .38). Only in tobacco smokers was LCI elevated after smoking (P = .02). Spirometry indexes did not change in any participants. Conclusion MRI showed a decrease of lung perfusion after exposure to tobacco smoke and an increase of lung perfusion after use of electronic nicotine delivery systems. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
