Cocaine and heart attacks -- HV5810 .C62

Young men in their 20s are appearing in hospital emergency rooms complaining of chest pains and other symptoms typical of heart attacks. But they are not having typical heart attacks; they are victims of cocaine-induced heart attacks which result when cocaine, a powerful vaso-constrictor, deprives the heart of blood and oxygen. If cocaine doesn't kill these users, the heart attack will.
