    Author: Gubser R, Goy JJ, de Torrenté A, Wacker J, Humair L.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1988 Nov 12; 118(45):1657-9. PubMed ID: 3187482.
    Abstract:
    The case is reported of a young male who presented with massive anterior myocardial infarction after sniffing cocaine. The cardiovascular complications of cocaine abuse are numerous (sudden death, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, myocarditis) and are being reported more and more frequently in the literature. Thoracic or abdominal pain in any patient known to abuse cocaine should be thoroughly investigated, despite the youth of these patients.
