HEART ATTACK LINK TO COCAINE
SNORTING cocaine, even occasionally, can give you a heart attack, new
research reveals yesterday.
Use of the Class A drug promotes blood clots which can bring on a heart
seizure, say scientists at Pittsburgh University, USA.
Researchers monitored the heart and blood rates in 14 people aged 23 to 41
given a usual recreational dose of the mood enchancing drug.
All the volunteers' blood was stickier and more liable to clotting just two
hours after the cocaine was taken.
