Ritalin, also known in its generic form as methylphenidate, may be linked to permanent heart damage, according to two research articles* which provided disturbing evidence linking the use of Ritalin to permanent damage in the myocardial ultra structure in the human heart.

It is estimated that more than a million children and adults are using Ritalin for treatment of their ADD or ADHD (attention deficit disorder). It is unknown if physicians are alerting their patients or their patient's guardians of the permanent damage that Ritalin could cause the human heart. In 1996, the FDA did a study that linked Ritalin to liver cancer in mice, however proved inconclusive of the effects in humans and is still considered a safe drug.
