A 28-year-old male patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic because of severe chest pain. Past history, ECG and laboratory findings revealed an anterior myocardial infarction and rhabdomyolysis after cocaine consumption. Coronary arteriography performed six days after the infarction showed no significant stenoses. In view of these findings a coronary vasospasm due to cocaine was postulated. Cocaine effects are discussed.
