damage to heart muscle from certain drugs or toxins

Cardiotoxicity refers to the damage that certain substances, such as chemotherapy drugs or toxins, can cause to the heart muscle. This damage can lead to a range of heart problems, including arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), heart failure, and reduced heart function. For professionals, monitoring for cardiotoxicity is crucial when administering treatments known to have potential cardiac side effects, as early detection can help mitigate long-term damage.
