Cardiovascular Toxicology

Cardiovascular toxicology is the science of studying and evaluating the potential harmful effects of drugs and other substances on the heart and blood vessels, as well as the mechanisms underlying these toxic effects. This research is important for the evaluation of new drugs and substances, and for ensuring the safety of people who use them. Cardiovascular toxicology is used to examine the potential for adverse effects on heart and vascular function, for determining the efficacy of treatments, and for the development of therapies to counter or prevent adverse outcomes. It is also essential in the assessment of environmental and occupational exposures, as well as in the development of public health policies.
