Heart Disease and Endogenous Toxicity A New Perspective

Introduction

Endogenous Toxicology and Heart Disease

Traditionally, heart disease has been linked to lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors. However, the study proposes that:

  • Activated platelets can trigger coronary artery spasms, potentially leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD).
  • Metabolic imbalances or rapid shifts in biochemical states may act as endogenous toxins, impairing cardiac function.
  • Stress-related autonomic nervous system imbalances could play a role in heart arrhythmias and sudden cardiac events.
  • Toxicological perspectives on cardiovascular diseases could open new pathways for treatment and prevention.

Future Research and Clinical Applications

Considering heart disease under a toxicological lens may lead to:

  • The development of pharmacological antidotes targeting internal biochemical imbalances.
  • More personalized approaches to cardiovascular disease management, considering metabolic and toxicological influences.
  • Diagnostic tests for young individuals to assess risks related to SCD, especially before engaging in high-intensity physical activities.
