Inhalation of toluene-based products is popular among young adults. It has been shown to have a variety of adverse effects on several organs and systems. Although the heart seems to be a sensitive target organ to toluene, cardiotoxicity has often been ignored, especially in cases of acute toluene abuse, with relatively low concentrations. Thereby, routine cardiac examination and echocardiography for cardiotoxicity should be performed in cases of acute toluene exposure, even though there is no cardiovascular sign or symptoms.
吸入甲苯类产品在年轻人中很常见。已证明它会对多个器官和系统产生多种不良影响。尽管心脏似乎是对甲苯敏感的靶器官，但心脏毒性常常被忽视，尤其是在急性甲苯滥用且浓度相对较低的情况下。因此，即使没有心血管体征或症状，在急性甲苯暴露的情况下也应进行常规心脏检查和心脏毒性超声心动图检查。
