Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) pose a significant health threat owing to their high misdiagnosis rate. Case reports suggest that DAVFs or related acute events may follow medication use; however, drug-related risk factors remain unclear. In clinical practice, the concomitant use of multiple drugs for therapy is known as "polypharmacy situations," further increasing the risk of drug-induced DAVF.

Background: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous chemical compounds that interfere with the normal function of the endocrine system and are linked to direct and inherited adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. Legacy EDCs such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are no longer used yet remain detectable in biological specimens around the world; concurrently, we are exposed to newer EDCs like the fungicide vinclozolin (VIN). This combination of individuals' direct environmental chemical exposures and any heritable changes caused by their ancestors' chemical exposures leads to a layered pattern of both direct and ancestrally inherited exposures that might have cumulative effects over generations.
