2012 Greek Cardiologist presents Cardiovascular data on Vaping

[Penner]

Konstantinos Farsalinas, M.D.

Theres a link to the video in this thread. Excellent & his own original research data & presentation. He researched: blood pressure, systolic pressure, heart rate, & summarized the existing data as well. He is presenting at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich, Germany in 8/2012. This is the largest medical conference in Europe every year, so thats an honor for him to be asked to present & is not just a "poster" presentation (as well as an indication that his research was considered properly done, as well as important to the leaders of the medical community there).

He also presented at the American College of Cardiology Conference in Chicago, Illinois in 3/2012. He also did strain pattern echocardiograms (this is a new echo technology), on cigarette users vs vapors (but has not presented that data yet, due to conference logistics). I am looking forward to seeing that echo data as well.

I particularly liked his opinion that banning ecigarettes would represent an 'ethical crime.' Powerful statement coming from the medical community that should be quoted wherever possible.
