Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Drug abuse and chemical dependency, although not unique to our time, surely have become "headline items" in America. The recognition that alcohol and tobacco use leads to addiction has caused us to look anew at various chemicals and their affects on the body. The heart, made up of muscle, vessels, and nerve tissue, is uniquely affected by individual chemicals. This article is a review of five of those substances and how they specifically affect the cardiovascular system.
