Chronic exposure to tramadol induces cardiac inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in mice
Abstract Tramadol is an opioid extensively used to treat moderate to severe pain; however, prolonged therapy is associated with several tissues damage. Chronic use of tramadol was linked to increased hospitalizations due to cardiovascular complications. Limited literature has described the effects o...
