Why the study?
Does postnatal exposure to nicotine via breast milk alter heart rate variability and blood pressure in healthy infants?
Does postnatal exposure to nicotine via breast milk alter heart rate variability and blood pressure in healthy infants?
Postnatal exposure to nicotine via breast milk alters autonomic cardiovascular control in infants, specifically decreasing heart rate variability in males and blunting blood pressure changes between sleep states.
May alter autonomic control in male infants; leaves open causality and need for prospective studies before practice change.
