Methamphetamine use among adult patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome: A single‐center retrospective cohort study🔓

Journal of the American Heart Association

This study included 1,309 patients treated for an acute myocardial infarct (MI) at a California health system between 2012 and 2022. A total of 194 patients (15%) were methamphetamine users. The Meth-MI group had less diabetes than the No-Meth-MI group (38% vs 51%, p=.001) but many more smokers (72% vs 28%, p<.001). Nonobstructive coronary disease (eg, vasospasm) was more common in the Meth-MI group (24% vs 11%, p<.001), which consequently had lower rates of revascularization, aspirin, and statin therapy. The Meth-MI group had double the mortality (HR, 2.1, p<.001), and methamphetamine use was the strongest predictor of mortality, greater than diabetes. The Meth-MI group was more likely to have a subsequent MI (42% vs 27%, p<.001). The risk of MI with methamphetamine use is 19% higher than the risk with cocaine use (this study excluded cocaine users). The authors believe presentations with methamphetamine use and angina, without MI, is even more common.
