Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) and the Heart: Exploring the Potential Impacts of LSD on Cardiovascular Function

This review examines how LSD affects the heart and blood vessels. While some evidence suggests LSD might protect against heart disease by reducing inflammation and blood clots, acute use can dangerously raise heart rate and blood pressure, and cause blood vessel constriction. Regular low-dose use raises concerns about potential valve damage. More research is needed to understand the full cardiovascular safety of LSD before it can be considered for medical use.

Screening and characterization of natural extracts as dual-functional regulators for cardiomyocyte regeneration and cardiac repair

Researchers discovered that Ganoderma lucidum water extract can help convert stem cells into heart muscle cells and improve heart function after a heart attack in mice. The extract works by activating a specific cellular pathway called Wnt signaling that is important for heart development. This natural compound shows promise as a dual-action therapy that both regenerates damaged heart tissue and prevents further injury, offering a new approach to treating heart disease using natural products.
