- Abstract
Key Clinical Message: Illicit drugs are an uncommon etiology of acute myocarditis but should be evocated in young population. This association may result in further complications, mainly ventricular arrhythmia and therefore increases sudden cardiac deaths among young abusers. Withholding drug intoxication to prevent recurrent events is a major key of management.
