Abstract
1) In the Aso-volcano district, a higher incidence of myocardial damage based on electrocardiographic studies was found in inhabitants of high fluoride communities than in “nonfluoride” villages.
2) In subjects with mottled teeth, greater myocardial damage was encountered electrocardiographically than in persons without mottling in the Asovolcano district.
3) The authors conclude that the myocardial damage observed in the inhabitants of the Aso-volcanic district is predominantly due to the excessive fluoride content of the drinking water.

Study on the cardiovascular system damage in skeletal fluorosis patients
Objective To understand the damage to the cardiovascular systems of patients with different degrees of skeletal fluorosis after stopping fluorine exposure. Methods 65 patients with mild, moderate and severe skeletal fluorosis and 23 subjects without skeletal fluorosis as the control group were selected for detailed inquiry of cardiovascular disease history,

Clinical and hygienic evaluation of the combined effect of vibration and fluoride in humans
By L. Ya. Tartatovskaya, G.N. Samokhvalova, A.G. Antropov Medical Science Centre of Prophylactics and Protection of the Health Workers in Industrial Enterprises, Ekaterinburg, Russia. The study of the combined action of vibration and intense noise, muscular loads and cooling has made it possible to assess the probability of the development of vibration

Effects of fluorosis on QT dispersion, heart rate variability and echocardiographic parameters in children - Original Investigation
OBJECTIVE: Chronic fluoride poisoning is called fluorosis. The aim of the study was to investigate effects of fluorosis on cardiovascular system in children by measuring QT dispersion (QTd), corrected QT dispersion (QTcd), heart rate variability (HRV) and echocardiography findings. METHODS: Thirty-five children with dental fluorosis and 26 children as control group

A comparative study on systolic time interval of populations in mild and severe endemic fluorosis regions
Comparative study on STI of populations in regions mildly and severely affected by endemic fluorosis demonstrated significant differences between these two affected regions in the detection rate of abnormal STI as well as QS2 and PEP/LVET, indicating that endemic fluorosis may injure the heart.

Effects of chronic fluorosis on electrocardiogram in dogs
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of chronic fluorosis on the electrocardiogram (ECG) in dogs. A total of sixteen mixed breed dogs (8 fluorotic and 8 healthy), 2 to 3 years old and weighing 18–30 kg, were used in this study. The eight dogs with chronic

Fluoride & Myocardial Damage
Structural damage to the heart resulting from fluoride toxicity has been observed in numerous human and animal studies. The general features of this damage include cloudy swelling, vacuolization or vacuolar degeneration, hemorrhages, interstitial edema, fibrous necrosis, dissolution of nuclei, and thickening of the vessel walls in the heart muscle (Basha

Fluoride & Electrocardiogram Abnormalities
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. An ECG can reveal heart rate, heart rhythym (i.e. steady or irregular), and the strength and timing of the heart’s natural electrical signals. ECGs are described in terms of “waves” (e.g. amplitude and duration). Problems

Fluoride & Arteriosclerosis
Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic, allowing efficient transfer of blood and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body. Arteriosclerosis refers to a stiffening of the arteries, including loss of elasticity. This is a slow, progressive disease that may begin early in life from damage to the

Fluoride, Blood Pressure and Hypertension
Individuals with blood pressure readings that exceed 140/90 are considered hypertensive. Hypertension can increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, aortic aneurysms, and peripheral arterial disease. An association between increased fluoride in ground water and increased prevalence of hypertension has been observed, especially among adult males (Amini et

Fluoride & Arterial Calcification
The major change involved with cardiovascular disease is development of atherosclerosis in critical arteries, which is partially characterized by vascular calcification. The level of coronary artery calcification is thought to be the most important indicator of future cardiovascular events. Increased arterial calcifications have frequently been reported in those with skeletal fluorosis
