Résumé
The use of cocaine as a recreational drug has increased over recent years. In this study, we aimed to analyze the prevalence, and in-hospital and long-term outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) associated with cocaine consumption (ACS-ACC). A prospective observational registry of young patients hospitalised with ACS from 2001 through 2015, we analysed ACS-ACC temporal trends, clinical characteristics, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during long-term follow-up. There were 8153 admissions with ACS, of whom 864 patients were ≤50-years-old; 59 patients (6.8%) presented with ACS-ACC. The prevalence of patients with a history of cocaine consumption increased to maximum of 18% in 2008 with no variations thereafter (r = 0.74, p < 0.001). The ACS-ACC incidence increased over time from 5% to 9% (r = 0.25, p = 0.07). Compared to patients with ACS not associated with cocaine consumption, the ACS-ACC exhibited a higher incidence of in-hospital ventricular tachycardia (16.9% vs 4.7%, p < 0.001) and trends to in-hospital mortality (3.4% vs 1.0%, p = 0.097); during a median follow-up of 5.6 years, ACS-ACC had higher risk of MACE (HR 1.83; 95% CI 1.04-3.25, p = 0.038), higher risk of myocardial infarction (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.02-5.60, p = 0.045), and higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 6.26; 95% CI 1.67-23.43, p = 0.006). Young patients with ACS-ACC carry a high risk of short and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events. Over the 15-year study period, we observed an increasing prevalence of this entity. This trend and its outcomes underscore the need for increased awareness and improved management strategies.

BACKGROUND
The use of cocaine as a recreational drug has increased over recent years. In this study, we aimed to analyze the prevalence, and in-hospital and long-term outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) associated with cocaine consumption (ACS-ACC).
METHODS
A prospective observational registry of young patients hospitalised with ACS from 2001 through 2015, we analysed ACS-ACC temporal trends, clinical characteristics, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during long-term follow-up.
RESULTS
There were 8153 admissions with ACS, of whom 864 patients were ≤50-years-old; 59 patients (6.8%) presented with ACS-ACC. The prevalence of patients with a history of cocaine consumption increased to maximum of 18% in 2008 with no variations thereafter (r = 0.74, p < 0.001). The ACS-ACC incidence increased over time from 5% to 9% (r = 0.25, p = 0.07). Compared to patients with ACS not associated with cocaine consumption, the ACS-ACC exhibited a higher incidence of in-hospital ventricular tachycardia (16.9% vs 4.7%, p < 0.001) and trends to in-hospital mortality (3.4% vs 1.0%, p = 0.097); during a median follow-up of 5.6 years, ACS-ACC had higher risk of MACE (HR 1.83; 95% CI 1.04-3.25, p = 0.038), higher risk of myocardial infarction (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.02-5.60, p = 0.045), and higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 6.26; 95% CI 1.67-23.43, p = 0.006).
CONCLUSION
Young patients with ACS-ACC carry a high risk of short and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events. Over the 15-year study period, we observed an increasing prevalence of this entity. This trend and its outcomes underscore the need for increased awareness and improved management strategies.
