Liver cadmium levels in North Carolina residents who died of heart disease

A W Voors et al. Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 1977 Jun.

Abstract

Using data from an autopsy series, we found a strong positive correlation between liver concentration of cadmium and death from heart disease. In view of recent experiments reported in the literature, the possibility that a low level of cadmium has a toxic effect on the cardiac conduction system is supported.
