Chemical Stressors
In this photo, I used smoking as an example of how chemicals can have an unhealthy impact on the normal function of the heart. Drugs, both recreational and prescription, would be another example. Lesser known examples would be environmental exposure to chemicals in the home, personal care products, and the outside environment. Exposure to mold, mercury, aluminum, and pesticides are all examples of chemical stressors that can have an unhealthy affect on heart physiology.
