ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We studied acute haemodynamic effects of pan masala (powdered mixture of areca nut, slaked lime, catechu, and condiments) in healthy volunteers.METHODS:
Fifty one males (mean age 28.6 +/- 10 years) were evaluated. One pouch (4 g) of pan masala without tobacco was given to each subject under fasting state and effects on pulse and blood pressure (BP) recorded.RESULTS:
At baseline the pulse rate was 75.1 +/- 9.0 per minute, systolic BP was 119.1 +/- 10.8 mm Hg, and diastolic BP was 78.0 +/- 7.5. The pulse rate increased to 87.5 +/- 11.4 at ten minutes (+16.9 +/- 12.6%, p < 0.001) and fell to 76.7 +/- 9.1 at 30 minutes (p = ns). Systolic BP increased to 122.3 +/- 11.7 mm Hg at 10 minutes (+2.73 +/- 5.1%, p < 0.001) and was 120.8 +/- 10.8 at 30 minutes; while diastolic BP was 80.8 +/- 7.3 at 10 minutes (+3.83 +/- 6.1%, p < 0.001) and 79.4 +/- 7.6 at 30 minutes.CONCLUSIONS:
Pan masala intake causes acute increase in pulse and BP.
