is cocaine the leading reason in heart attacks in younger adults these days?

Question

my son and i are having a on going dispute on this subject i believe it is the reason and he doesnt can someone clear this up for me?

Answer 1

If I were to guess I would say it's because of the decline in active lifestyles and poor eating habits. And seeing how many countries now have very high rates of obesity, that is what I would think is the main cause. Starting very young nowadays, people spend more time playing video games or being on the computer than playing outside or exercising, eating fast food or junk food because it's more convenient, using escalators instead of stairs, and driving everywhere instead of walking or riding bikes. Being lazy and inactive is bad for your heart! And wayyyy more people are guilty of this rather than doing cocaine. So that's why I guess the way I do. :)

Answer 2

I would have thought the leading reason for heart attacks in younger adults would be obesity, clogging up the arteries.

But if you widen the spectrum from cocaine to include drugs such as ecstasy and speed I think it can not be far behind. Also think these drugs are linked with what is called sudden adult death syndrome. When someone just drops dead for no apparent reason

Answer 3

Nahh, I Don't Think So, Unless The Amount Done In A Short Time Frame Is A Lot...

Answer 4

cocaine is not the reason for heart attack as it is just a stimulant the real reason is high cholestrol diet and low energy food.

Answer 5

Yeah and crack too.But the best thing to do is to stay away from those two yourself.They cause really black gums and sometimes cancer.And all other bad things!

Answer 6

No. Fat and hardening in the arteries . . . heart disease . . . secondary to poor diet is the number one reason for myocardial infarctions in young adults.

Answer 7

no bad diet is.
