Previous investigations have repeatedly found that cocaine use or misuse compromises the cardiovascular system. Acute effects include arrhythmia and acute myocardial infarction (MI) as well as chronic disorders such cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease (CAD) are associated with cocaine. Cardiotoxicity brought on by cocaine can cause rapid death. Our case involves a 37-year-old man who experienced temporary acute left ventricular failure following cocaine and alcohol usage. The initial presentation was marked by an altered state of consciousness. The patient’s evolution in the intensive care unit was favorable, with a complete recovery of myocardial function.
