Cocaine               is               the               second               most               used               illicit               drug               after               Marijuana               and               has               significant               detrimental               health               effects,               many               of               which               involve               the               heart.

The               cardiac               effects               of               cocaine               range               from               high               blood               pressure               to               the               more               severe               heart               failure               and               heart               attacks.

Cocaine               has               many               effects               on               the               blood               vessels               and               blood               components,               which               include               the               platelets.

When               one               ingests               cocaine,               one               of               the               major               responses               of               cocaine               is               its               vasoconstrictor               effect               on               the               blood               vessels,               which               means               that               it               will               cause               the               blood               vessels               throughout               the               body               to               clamp               down,               which               will               not               only               increase               the               blood               pressure,               but               over               time,               will               cause               the               heart               to               have               to               work               harder               to               pump               the               same               amount               of               blood               to               the               body.

Eventually,               if               one               is               a               chronic               cocaine               user,               the               heart               will               begin               to               tire               out               and               become               fatigued               because               the               heart               can               not               sustain               that               workload               for               such               a               prolonged               period               of               time.

At               times,               this               heart               failure               may               or               may               not               be               reversible               with               medications.

If               the               heart               fails               and               leads               to               heart               failure,               the               person               may               begin               to               have               blood               and               fluid               buildup               in               the               lungs,               which               will               cause               the               person               to               feel               short               of               breath               and               weak.

He               or               she               may               have               problems               lying               flat               or               sleeping               as               blood               tends               to               drain               more               towards               the               heart               and               lungs               in               a               supine               position,               which               will               make               the               shortness               worsen.

These               heart               failure               patients               may               need               to               be               treated               with               "water               pills"               (diuretics),               which               will               make               one               urinate               more               often,               however,               these               medications               only               treat               the               symptoms,               not               the               ultimate               problem               of               the               failure               heart.

The               ultimate               solution               is               cessation               of               all               cocaine               products,               blood               pressure               control               and               other               medications               such               as               beta               blockers               and               angiotensin               converting               enzyme               inhibitors.

The               latter               2               drugs               help               to               "remodel"               the               heart               and               potentially               improve               the               function.

If               medical               therapy               does               not               work,               these               individuals               with               heart               failure               are               at               risk               for               sudden               cardiac               death,               which               can               only               be               prevented               by               inserting               an               implantable               defribillator,               which               will               "shock"               them               out               an               abnormal               heart               beat               (very               similar               to               what               is               seen               on               TV               shows               such               as               ER               and               Grey's               Anatomy).
               Cocaine's               effects               on               the               blood               components               such               as               platelets               is               very               significant               and               provoke               increased               clotting               and               platelet               dysfunction,               which               will               cause               the               body               to               form               clots               and               may               plaque               rupture               in               the               arteries               surrounding               the               heart               or               even               a               stroke               in               the               brain.

It               may               even               increase               the               risk               of               blood               clots               in               the               legs,               which               could               travel               to               the               heart               and               cause               a               pulmonary               embolism               (clot               in               the               lungs).
               In               conclusion,               cocaine               has               very               serious               effects               on               the               heart               by               increasing               the               blood               pressure,               which               may               eventually               lead               to               heart               failure               and               sudden               cardiac               death               if               not               treated               appropriately.

Cocaine               is               known               to               induce               heart               attacks               through               many               mechanisms,               which               include               its               effects               on               blood               vessels               as               well               as               platelets.
