Cardiac toxicity is a condition in which the heart has been damage to some extents caused by harmful chemicals, including toxins induced by the treatment of chemotherapy.
Depending on the cells of the areas of the heart that have been damaged, cardiac toxicity includes
* Cardiomyopathy is a disorder caused a weaken or damage of heart muscle, affecting the heart rhythm or inducing the risk of heart failure.
* Myocarditis is a condition of inflammation of the heart, that can lead to changes in heart rhythm or heart failure.
* Pericarditis is a condition caused by the inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, inducing chest pain or heart failure.
* Acute coronary syndromes that affect the blood flow due to blood vessel damage.
* Congestive heart failure is a result that affects the function of the heart in pumping blood throughout the body.
Conventionally, treatment of cardiac toxicity include medication to control fluids, high blood pressure, and medications which improve the hear functioning. If all aforementioned medications fail, a heart transplant may be necessary.
1,350 participants selected to the study were randomly divided into either curry intake group with the consumption of a curry dish more than once a month over the previous year, or a non-curry intake group (n = 747).
According to the heavy metal analysis, the curry intake group showed significantly lower heavy metal blood concentrations (Pb, Hg, and Cd).
Furthermore, the levels of heavy metals in patients with hypertension (HTN) were significantly lower in curry intake group compared to the nonhypertension group.
In order to obtain turmeric detoxed activity, researchers examined the protective effect of turmeric extract against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiac toxicity in rats.
Additionally, turmeric extract inhibited the DOX-induced increase in plasma cholesterol, LDH, associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Mohamad RH, the lead scientist said, "The present findings conclude that the turmeric extract has multiple therapeutic activities that block the cardiac,.....toxicities".
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
On finding a natural compound for the treatment of cardiac toxicity scientists launched an investigation to determine whether curry intake reduces blood levels of heavy metals, according to the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013 data.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

Furthermore, the levels of heavy metals in patients with hypertension (HTN) were significantly lower in curry intake group compared to the nonhypertension group.
The levels of blood concentrations of heavy metals induced toxicity associated with the induction of hypertension were significantly lower compared to the placebo.
The results confirmed the correlation between blood heavy metal levels and HTN.
In other words, turmeric has a potential effect on reducing cardiac toxicity in the induction of abnormally blood pressure.
According to the tested assays, turmeric extract exerted multiple therapeutic activities that ameliorate the effect of DOX-induced cardiac toxicity.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention of cardiac toxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
