How Does Grapefuit Affect Heat Conditsions/medicatssion?

I heard recently that grapefruit and grapefruit juice can affect heart conditions/medication? I've never heard of this before and was wandering if anyone knows why?

Thanks :)

    Grapefruit juice is metabolized by the same enzyme that breaks down the medication in your liver. When your system is overloaded, the grapefruit juice can “swamp” your system, keeping your liver busy and blocking it from breaking down the medication and other substances.
