This book introduces the principles of cardiovascular toxicology to students, clinicians, and scientists who are trying to gain an understanding of drugs and/or chemicals that may introduce undesired effects by attacking cardiac or vascular tissues.

What chemicals are poisonous to the heart and why are they toxic?

Find out by reading Principles of Cardiac Toxicology. Certain chemicals can produce toxicity by interacting with elements of the cardiovascular system. This book presents the anatomical, physiological, biochemical, and pathological basis for this interaction and describes the classes of chemicals known to produce cardiovascular toxicity. Characteristics of potential antidotes are also discussed. Clinicians and researchers will discover that this volume is an essential guide to understanding factors that could contribute to cardiovascular health and disease. Cardiologists, emergency room physicians, intensive care nurses, consulting pharmacists, and basic medical scientists will also benefit from this comprehensive work.
