Effect of cigarette smoke (CS) on right ventricular (RV) areas and lung edema in males and females. A CS-exposed MI male group had greater RV areas compared to CS-naive MI males. Female groups had comparable RV area post-MI irrespective of smoke exposure. B No group developed significant pulmonary fluid accumulation. N = 7 (CF), 7 (CM), 8 (MIF), 6(MIM), 8 (SMIF), and 6 (SMIM). CM/CF control male/female, MI myocardial infarction, MIF MI female group, MIM MI male group, SMIF smoking plus MI female group, SMIM smoking plus MI male group. p ≤ 0.01 (**); t test (A) and ANOVA (B)
