La prevalencia actual del consumo de cocaína hace necesario conocer las complicaciones cardiovasculares derivadas de su uso, como lo es el síndrome coronario agudo, condición que se presenta en personas jóvenes que consultan a los servicios de Urgencias con dolor torácico y alteraciones electrocardiográficas. El consumo de esta sustancia se asocia con aterosclerosis acelerada, vasoconstricción de arterias coronarias, vasoespasmo, arritmias, miocardiopatía, endocarditis, disección y ruptura aórtica, y muerte cardiaca súbita. Aunque la incidencia de aneurismas de arterias coronarias es extremadamente baja en la población general, existe una asociación con el consumo de cocaína que debe ser considerada en estos pacientes.

Palabras clave:

The current prevalence of cocaine use makes necessary to know the cardiovascular complications derived from its use such as acute coronary syndrome, a condition that occurs in young people who consult the emergency departments with chest pain and electrocardiographic alterations. The consumption of this substance is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, coronary artery vasoconstriction, vasospasm, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, endocarditis, aortic dissection and rupture, and sudden cardiac death. Although the incidence of coronary artery aneurysms is extremely low in the general population, there is an association with cocaine consumption that must be considered in these patients.
