How Can Myocardial Toxicity Be Managed?

Management of myocardial toxicity involves both supportive care and specific interventions:
- Cessation of the Toxicant: Discontinuation of the offending substance is crucial.
- Pharmacological Therapy: Beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and diuretics may be used to manage symptoms and improve cardiac function.
- Antioxidants: In cases of oxidative stress-induced damage, antioxidants may offer some protective effects.
- Chelation Therapy: For heavy metal poisoning, chelation agents can help remove the toxicant from the body.
