Nonatherosclerotic causes of coronary artery narrowing--Part III.

abstract：:Cocaine-related cardiovascular events escalated during the 1980s as cocaine became purer, cheaper, and easier to obtain. Cocaine abuse is a risk factor for myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, ruptured aortic aneurysm, cerebral infarction, infective endocarditis, vascular thromb...
