Define "low-medium stimulant use". Be specific. Then we can give you an accurate answer.

Tell us the dose and the medication. Vyvanse (levoamfetamine) is different from adderall (levo and dextroamfetamine), is different from ritalin (methylphenidate), is different from desoxyn (methamphetamine), etc., etc. Recreational stim doses also need to be given for us to help you, man. Methamphetamine (so I've read, and I will try to post references when I find them) doesn't put as much strain on the heart and cardiovascular system as much as, say, ephedrine or dextroamfetamine. That doesn't mean it's still alright to use frequently. Check http://www.ndlerf.gov.au/pub/Cardiac%20probs%20and%20amphet.pdf this for meth. Research the stims you use, read some erowid reports and look for how people felt and their reactions to a certain type of stim.

i'm pretty sure that meth is more cardio toxic than dexamphetamine if used at recreational doses. methamphetamine puts an enormous strain on the heart and CNS system at high doses, while dexamphetamine is much lighter in comparison.

as for adhd medication, there is little evidence or studies that have been done to suggest that if a person uses their medication as prescribed, cardiotoxicity is not a problem unless there is a history of heart problems in the individual.
however there are cases of sudden death if adhd medication is abused or taken at very high doses.
as with all stimulants, blood pressure is increased and so is the heart rate, i draw to a conclusion that if used for an extended period of time that there could be some cardiovascular issues that may arise.
ECG studies in long-term dexamphetamine and methylphenidate users has shown no change.
