    Author: Schär B, Jenzer HR.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 1999 Jan 21; 88(4):129-32. PubMed ID: 10067115.
    Abstract:
    Cocaine is a frequently used drug with many known effects on the cardiovascular system. It leads also to structural changes of the coronary arteries that can result in severe chest pain or even acute myocardial infarction. We discuss two patients with infarction, differentiate between chest pain and infarction and suggest some important therapeutic measures.
