Cocaine-Associated ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Different Pathophysiological Mechanisms.

Cocaine-Associated ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Different Pathophysiological Mechanisms. J Invasive Cardiol. 2019 Apr;31(4):E62-E63 Authors: López-Lluva MT, Jurado-Román A, Sánchez-Pérez I, Abellán-Huerta J, Ruiz-Poveda FL Abstract There are many underlying mechanisms for cocaine-associated myocardial infarction, and the culprit must be elucidated for appropriate therapeutic management. Optical coherence tomography provides unique insights when angiography alone has limited diagnostic value; it also aids in the decision between conservative management and revascularization strategy and guides coronary interventions.
