Abstract: Methamphetamine(MA) not only affects the nervous system but also has cardiac toxicity.The cardiovascular manifestations of acute MA use include tachycardia, atrioventricular arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia and hypertension, resulting in cardiac lesions.Chronic use of MA causes cardiomyopathy including cellular infiltration, myocardial hypertrophy, myocardium rupture and fibrosis.This review gives a detail presentation of current status on relationship between Methamphetamine and cardiovascular diseases.
