El dolor torácico asociado al consumo de cocaína es uno de los síntomas más comunes referido por los pacientes. Usualmente, se presenta en jóvenes, sin factores de riesgo para enfermedad coronaria, y es independiente de la historia de abuso de sustancias, aunque aproximadamente la cuarta parte de éstos niega su consumo. El porcentaje de quienes presentan infarto agudo del miocardio posterior al consumo de cocaína es bajo; sin embargo el médico debe sospechar este diagnóstico y de acuerdo con el riesgo, definir la estrategia de estratificación y tratamiento adecuada.

The percentage of those who present acute myocardial infarction after cocaine use is low, but the doctor should suspect this diagnosis and according to the risk, define the stratification strategy and the appropriate treatment.
