It allows connections to be made between research, diagnosis, and treatment to avoid higher morbidity and mortality rates as a result of cardiovascular toxicity.

• Structured to bring together exploration into the epidemiology, molecular mechanism, pathogenesis, environmental factors and management in cardiovascular toxins"
• Included various topics on cardiovascular toxins such as plant, chemical, animal, nanomaterial and marine biology induced cardiac damage - which are new ideas discussed in detail
• Comprehensive chapters on the cardiovascular toxicity from drugs, radiotherapy and radiological imaging
• Enables you to manage multiple clinical cases of cardiovascular toxicity
• Outlined conclusions at the end of each chapter providing "key learning points" to help you organize the chapter's details without losing insight
