Cardiovascular Toxicity

Cardiovascular toxicity refers to the harmful effects that certain substances, such as medications, chemicals, or environmental factors, can have on the heart and blood vessels. These effects may include damage to the heart muscle, irregular heart rhythms, high blood pressure, or issues with blood vessels. Such toxicity can weaken the heart's ability to pump blood effectively and increase the risk of serious conditions like heart failure or heart attacks. Recognizing and managing cardiovascular toxicity is essential to prevent long-term health problems linked to exposure to harmful agents.
