Can nicotine aggrivate an irregular heartbeat?

Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tabacco, etc.

Add sources if possible.

I have had tacacardia since the age of 6with ectopic heart beats it is a lot better now (in 50s)but Ismoked for 15-20 of those years and it aggravated it,coffee and tea are also a one a day .and stress.so deffinatley stay off nicotine.

well i went to the ER last night for syncope (fainting) and had a full battery of tests run one being an EKG and turns out i have eurythmia or something like that was told it was an irregular heartbeat and the doc told me that my smoking was what caused my syncope so according to the doc yeah it will aggrivate it and is a horrible habit (wish i would have never started) so if you havent started DONT

nicotine is a stimulant which means it can increase your heart rate. It is also a vasoconstrictor which means it constricts your blood vessels which leads to high blood pressure.....there is nothing positive about it or the effects it has on the heart.

Using products containing nicotine, including nicotine replacement products such as gum or patches, can cause or aggrAvate an irregular heartbeat.

of course it can becaise it affect rhythmicity of heart which stimulate sinoatrial node to propagate more beats
