2020年11月1日 · In this review, we conclude that opium consumption should be considered a risk factor for CVDs. Healthy individuals, as well as cardiac and diabetic patients, should be informed and educated about the hazardous effects of opium consumption on cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. 1. Introduction.

Opium consumption has been linked to hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and coronary artery diseases (CAD). In this review, we will review the association between opium use, cardiovascular diseases, and clinical outcomes.

Opium-consumers are at higher risk of supra-ventricular arrhythmias, sinus bradycardia, cardiac block and atrial fibrillation. The cardiac arrhythmogenicity of various opioids is different. Methadone has a higher capability to induce long QT interval and dangerous arrhythmias in conventional doses than others.

2020年4月17日 · Studies show that patients with chronic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease (IHD), use opium more than the general population because they assume it is efficient in treating or preventing cardiovascular disorders.

2021年1月1日 · Opioid toxicity is primarily mediated via potent μ-receptor agonism resulting in ventilatory depression. However, both overdose and opioid withdrawal can trigger major adverse cardiovascular events resulting from hemodynamic, vascular, and proarrhythmic/electrophysiological consequences.

2013年10月22日 · In this Perspectives article, Dr Masoudkabir and colleagues dispel the commonly held misconception in these regions that opium has beneficial effects on cardiovascular health, and summarize the...

The effects of opium on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been extensively studied. However, there are few studies that summarize this research comprehensively; thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis is a collection of the newest information combined …

2021年1月2日 · Opium consumption was found to be relatively high in the RCS participants, especially in men (men = 2150 and women = 228). Opium use was associated with a higher odds of IHD and MI, with the adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of …

2015年10月3日 · As opium is pure morphine and morphine in turn inhibits pain pathways, opium consumption can obscure the presence of an acute heart attack. Consequently, an opium-addicted patient with an acute heart attack may lose the golden time between the onset of symptoms and the administration of thrombolytic therapy ( 9 ).

2020年4月17日 · Results: In this study, most of the published articles suggested the adverse effects of opium on the cardiovascular system, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, low ejection fraction, and cardiovascular mortality; however, some articles reported the beneficial or impartial effects of opium on the cardiovascular system ...
