title: [Acute myocardial infarction related to cocaine use].
abstract: Cocaine is a drug capable of potentiating the response to catecholamines. Acute myocardial infarction is the most frequently reported cardiac consequence of cocaine abuse, usually in those patients who had used cocaine in a habitual basis. We report a 30-year-old man, first-time cocaine user, that suffered an acute myocardial infarction.
