What Causes Ventricular Arrhythmias in Toxicology?
Ventricular arrhythmias in toxicology can be caused by a variety of factors. Some drugs can directly affect the heart's electrical activity, leading to arrhythmias. For example, overdose of tricyclic antidepressants or antiarrhythmic agents can disrupt cardiac conduction. Additionally, exposure to environmental toxins like heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury) can also lead to arrhythmias by affecting the heart's electrical system.
