Original Source: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics and Risk of Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Cocaine-Related Chest Pain.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate the frequency of recent cocaine use in patients attending an emergency department for acute chest pain, to describe the clinical characteristics of these patients, and to estimate the incidence of acute coronary syndrome in this population. METHODS: Observational cohort study using a standard questionnaire that includes items on recent cocaine consumption. RESULTS: During a 1-year period, 1240 patients aged under 55 years presented with chest pain. Of these, 63 (5...
