Changes of the heart muscle due to chronic fluorosis. Part 2: Experimental studies on the effects of sodium fluoride upon the heart muscle of rabbitsAbstract
In the electrocardiogram of rabbits given sodium fluoride orally, a pattern of myocardial damage was observed, namely depressed ST, inverted T, prolonged QT interval, multifocal ventricular premature contraction, bundle branch block, and pulmonary P. Histologically, regressive degeneration, cellular infiltration, hyperemia, hemorrhages and thickening of vessel wall were noted in the heart muscle.
