Cocaine abuse is rising and causes serious cardiovascular issues. Cardiologists should suspect cocaine use in young adults with chest pain, confirming with toxicological tests.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Toxicology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Increasing prevalence of cocaine abuse, particularly in France.
  • Cocaine use often involves poly-intoxication with other substances like tobacco.
  • Cardiovascular complications are a major concern associated with cocaine abuse.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the importance of considering cocaine abuse in cardiological practice.
  • To outline the epidemiological and clinical reasons for this consideration.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic challenges and the need for toxicological confirmation.

Summary:

  • Cocaine abuse presents significant cardiovascular risks, including myocardial infarction.
  • The association with other substances complicates diagnosis and treatment.
