[Cardiovascular complications due to cocaine].
The increase of cocaine consumption is a common new item in the medical literature and in the national press and, hence, it does not surprises us any more. However, we are seeing every day the appearance of unknown or forgotten complications. In this paper, we review the cardiovascular complications due to the consumption of this drug, stressing the physiopathological mechanisms and the therapeutical aspects. In addition, we describe our experience with the management of these patients.
