Clinical Presentation, Coronary Angiographic Findings and Extent of Atherosclerotic Disease in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Associated With Cocaine Use
Methods: We propose an observational, analytical, single-center, two-phase study, with a retrospective and a prospective component. Patients with a diagnosis of ACS admitted to the coronary care unit of a high-complexity public hospital will be included. Clinical, biochemical, coronary angiographic, extracoronary atherosclerotic disease extension and prognostic variables will be described. These variables will be compared between patients with cocaine-associated ACS and non-cocaine-associated ACS.
• Age ≥18
• Hospitalization due to diagnosis of ACS, made by the treating medical team.
⁃ For the prospective stage, it will be added:
• Acceptance to participate in the study and willingness to sign the informed consent.
