Cardio toxicology
Cardio toxicology is a specialty in the study of drugs and chemicals that affect the heart. The field incorporates both the classic physiological sciences and pharmacology, with a focus on clinical medicine such as emergency medicine or cardiology, pathology or physical examination. Cardio toxicology is the study of how cardiac disorders, such as arrhythmias and heart failure, affect the body. Cardiologists use cardio toxicology to help determine if a patient has problems such as heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms or the need for an implantable cardiac device (such as pacemakers)
