Very interesting, although, the increase in heart related issues with opioids might be similar with those going through alochol withdrawal. Heart rate increases after initial dose and after half life ends. After that detox begins. I’d guess that heart rate increases as the body works harder to move toxins out of the body. Just like smoking, an increased heart rate does bring a higher risk of heart failure.
