Poisoning by agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system - what does this mean

Poisoning by agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system occurs when a person is exposed to a toxic substance that interferes with the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system, leading to an abnormal heart rate, blood pressure, and other cardiovascular symptoms. this can be caused by a variety of sources, including drugs, alcohol, and environmental toxins.

What happens during the disease - poisoning by agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system

Poisoning by agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system is caused by a toxin entering the bloodstream, which then travels to the heart and causes damage to the cardiac muscle. this damage can lead to arrhythmias, heart failure, and even death. in some cases, the toxin may also affect the blood vessels and cause hypertension, which can further damage the heart and other organs.
