Review
Acute myocardial infarction caused by amphetamines: a case report and review of the literature
Ital Heart J.
2001 Jun.
Abstract
Cardiotoxicity manifesting as myocardial ischemia is not generally recognized as a side effect of amphetamine use or abuse. However, at least 9 cases have been reported since 1987. In this report a case of acute myocardial infarction due to oral amphetamine therapy is presented. The patient was treated with thrombolytic therapy but there were no signs of reperfusion. His coronary cine-angiograms were normal. The literature regarding amphetamine use or abuse is also reviewed, and the possible mechanisms of this pathology are analyzed.
