The multiple, deleterious cardiovascular effects of cocaine abuse are well known. Recent data have shown that cocaine abuse in the UK remains high with an upward trend over the last few years and a significant associated mortality/morbidity. Cocaine-induced coronary artery dissection (CAD) is one of the rare totally preventable manifestations of cocaine abuse. With this case report, we aim to contribute to the limited number of cocaine-induced CAD described in literature and increase public awareness in an attempt to reverse the upward trend of cocaine abuse.
可卡因滥用对心血管系统造成的多种有害影响是众所周知的。最近的数据表明，英国的可卡因滥用情况仍然严重，在过去几年呈上升趋势，且伴有显著的相关死亡率/发病率。可卡因诱发的冠状动脉夹层（CAD）是可卡因滥用中罕见的完全可预防的表现之一。通过本病例报告，我们旨在为文献中描述的可卡因诱发CAD的有限案例做出贡献，并提高公众意识，以试图扭转可卡因滥用的上升趋势。
