Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in the hard plastic bottles used daily, it can imitate the body’s hormones, and interfere with the production, secretion, transport, function, and elimination of natural hormones.

Bisphenol A reaches consumer through medical and chemical products. Epidemiological studies find BPA exposure in adults correlate with adverse cardiovascular events, ranging from abnormal heart beats, or arrhythmias, and angina, chest pain, to coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis.

Using neonatal rat heart cells, researchers find that the immature heart may respond to BPA in a similar fashion with slower heart rates, irregular heart rhythms and calcium instabilities.

When this chemical enters the body, it can be bioactive and influence how heart cells function. Plastics have revolutionized the way doctors and surgeons treat young patients, especially patients with compromised immune or cardiac function.
