Heart disease is a leading global cause of death. Recent research indicates that certain environmental chemicals can worsen heart problems. We're conducting a rigorous review of scientific studies to understand how these chemicals affect the heart. This will inform policymakers and promote non-animal testing methods for cardiotoxicity by providing a clear overview of the toxicological evidence. We have reviewed over 8,000 articles and focused on 362 studies about 129 chemicals, including heavy metals, air pollutants and pesticides, and their effects on the heart. The current manuscript describes the used methods and steps made in this process. The outcome of our systematic review of these 362 articles will be a comprehensive database that will aid the development of alternative testing methods for cardiotoxicity.
