Résumé : | PURPOSE: Methamphetamine is the most widespread illegally used stimulant in the United States. Previously published case reports and series suggest a potential association between methamphetamine exposure and cardiomyopathy. The objective of this study is to demonstrate an association between methamphetamine use and cardiomyopathy. SUBJECT AND METHODS: Case-control study based on chart review of discharges from a tertiary care medical center from January 2001 to June 2004. Patients were =55% and no wall motion abnormalities. RESULTS: One hundred and seven cases and 114 controls were identified. Both groups had similar gender distribution, length of hospital stay, rates of health insurance, prevalence of coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, and marijuana and cocaine use. Cases were older than controls (mean age: 38 vs 35 years; P=.008), had higher body mass index (BMI) (mean BMI: 37 vs 30 kg/m2; P<.001 and higher prevalence of renal failure vs p=".03)." methamphetamine users had a increased odds ratio confidence interval for cardiomyopathy adjusting age body mass index failure. conclusions: use was associated with in young patients. s abstract> |
