ABSTRACT
Objetivo Conocer las características de los pacientes con dolor torácico (DT) asociado al consumo reciente de drogas. Método Estudio de los casos del Registro REUrHE atendidos en urgencias de 11 hospitales españoles por DT tras el consumo de drogas de uso recreacional. Resultados El DT supuso el 8,97% de las asistencias (varones 82,9%, p<0,001). La cocaína estaba presente en el 70% de los casos, seguida del cannabis (35,7%) y las anfetaminas y derivados (21,4%). La clínica inicial más frecuente fue: palpitaciones (45,5%, p<0,001), ansiedad (42,5%, p<0,001), hipertensión (13,6%, p<0,001) y arritmias (5,9%, p<0,001). Recibieron más tratamiento los pacientes con DT (81,9% vs. 74,1%; p<0,001), aunque ingresaron menos (7,6%, p=0,0), sin diferencias en cuanto a maniobras de reanimación cardiopulmonar, sedación, intubación, o ingreso en cuidados intensivos (1,9%). Conclusiones En el DT tras una intoxicación aguda por drogas predomina el uso de la cocaína, aunque aumentan los casos por consumo de cannabis (AU)
Objective To determine the characteristics of patients with chest pain (CP) associated with recent drug use. Methods Study of cases from the REUrHE registry attended in the emergency department of 11 Spanish hospitals for CP following recreational drug use. Results CP accounted for 8.97% of attendances (males 82.9%, P<.001). Cocaine was present in 70% of cases, followed by cannabis (35.7%) and amphetamines and derivatives (21.4%). The most frequent initial symptoms were: palpitations (45.5%, P<.001), anxiety (42.5%, P<.001), hypertension (13.6%, P<.001) and arrhythmias (5.9%, P<.001). Patients with TD received more treatment (81.9% vs. 74.1%; P<.001), although they were admitted less (7.6%, P=.0), with no differences in terms of CPR manoeuvres, sedation, intubation, or admission to intensive care (1.9%). Conclusions In CP following acute drug intoxication, cocaine use predominates, although cases of cannabis use are increasing (AU)
