The risk of chronic psychedelic and MDMA microdosing for valvular heart disease.

Psychedelic microdosing is the practice of taking very low doses of psychedelic substances, typically over a longer period of time. The long-term safety of chronic microdosing is relatively uncharacterized, but valvular heart disease (VHD) has been proposed as a potential risk due to activation of the serotonin 5-HT receptor. However, this risk has not yet been comprehensively assessed.
