- Inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure is linked to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), showing significant differences in cardiac tissue injury among patients from arsenic-affected areas in Bangladesh who underwent open-heart surgery.
- Patients from arsenic-affected areas had higher concentrations of iAs in urine, nails, and cardiac tissues, indicating greater exposure and potential tissue damage.
- Genetic factors, specifically single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), were associated with iAs concentrations in patients, suggesting a possible role of genetic variations in susceptibility to iAs-related cardiac injury.
