Dude had a heart attack. Get over it.
"How Does Meth Affect the Heart?
Meth is a highly addictive substance that affects the central nervous system. Over time, using meth repeatedly causes the heart muscle to become enlarged, rigid, and thick. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood. When a person takes meth and pushes their body to physical extremes, it makes the heart work faster.
Heart strain results in palpitations in users. This makes the heart rate increase and over time will weaken the heart. The resulting loss of blood flow to the heart and other organs puts meth users at risk for stroke."
Specific Cardiac Problems Related to Meth Use
There are specific cardiac problems that can be caused by meth use. These include:
"Arrhythmias occur when the heart beats irregularly. This is the most commonly reported adverse cardiovascular effect of meth use. It often involves shortness of breath and high blood pressure.
Coronary artery disease. This is a form of chronic cardiovascular disease commonly associated with meth use. Chronic users are at higher risk for the premature and accelerated development of coronary artery disease because meth can induce cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy is a heart disease that makes it harder for the blood to pump to the rest of the body.3
Chest pain. Meth use can lead to chest pains and a feeling of heavy pressure on the heart. These are the first early warning signs of a heart attack. A 2012 study examined how meth use affects the hearts of rats. The study showed that meth use can cause arrhythmia, internal bleeding and heart failure."
