Abstract
Within the marine realm there are many organisms that produce toxins, some of which are cardiotoxic to human beings. They exhibit their toxicity at both cellular and molecular levels, often via channelopathy. Arguably, cnidarians are the most venomous, capable of causing cardiac complications within a few minutes of envenomation. However, marine toxins and their cardiotoxicity is still an area of ongoing research. This chapter discusses the major groups of marine cardiotoxins and outlines their possible mechanisms.
