cardiac ischemia

Which Toxins are Known to Cause Cardiac Ischemia?


Several toxins are known to contribute to cardiac ischemia. Carbon monoxide is a significant risk factor; it binds with hemoglobin more effectively than oxygen, reducing oxygen delivery to the heart. Cocaine and other stimulants can cause vasoconstriction, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart. Heavy metals like lead and cadmium have also been implicated in increasing the risk of ischemic heart diseases.
