Article Synopsis
- Cocaine use is a significant factor in STEMI cases, especially in socioeconomically disadvantaged urban areas, where the patient demographic is primarily younger, male, and often engaging in high-risk behaviors.
- Compared to non-users, cocaine users with STEMI received fewer advanced treatments like drug-eluting stents and β blockers and had similar rates of adverse health outcomes during a follow-up period of 2.7 years.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted programs addressing cocaine use and associated behaviors to improve health outcomes and prevent disease in low-income communities.
