Effect of Smokeless Tobacco (Maras Powder) on the Epicardial Fat Thickness and Ventricular Repolarization Parameters.

: Smokeless tobacco (ST) use has recently become an alternative to cigarettes, and it has been concluded that ST is at least as harmful as cigarettes. ST use is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of arrhythmia by affecting ventricular repolarization. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationships of Maras powder (MP), one of the ST varieties, with epicardial fat thickness and new ventricular repolarization parameters, which have not previously been described.
