Heroin abuse and myocardial infarction

Eroin kullanımı sonrası akut miyokard infarktüsü ile ilişkili bilgiler sınırlıdır ve eroinin tetiklediği akut miyokard infarktüsünün mekanizması tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Eroin kullanımıyla ilişkili akut miyokard infarktüsü gelişen normal koroner arterlere sahip sadece bir olgu şimdiye kadar rapor edilmiştir. Biz de eroin kulanımı sonrası miyokard infarktüsü gelişen normal koroner arterlere sahip bir olgu rapor ettik.

Eroin kullanımı ve miyokard infarktüsü

Information concerning acute myocardial infarction after heroin usage is limited and the actual mechanism of heroin-induced myocardial infarction is not well known. Only one report has been described noting the association between usage heroin and acute myocardial infarction in a young man with normal coronary arteries. We also reported a patient with normal coronary arteries and acute myocardial infarction after heroin abuse.
