Impact of multiple substance use on circulating ST2, a biomarker of adverse cardiac remodelling, in women.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) are major causes of mortality in low-income populations and differ by sex. Risk assessment that incorporates cardiac biomarkers is common. However, research evaluating the utility of biomarkers rarely includes controlled substances, which may influence biomarker levels and thus influence CVD risk assessment.. We identified the effects of multiple substances on soluble "suppression of tumorigenicity 2" (sST2), a biomarker of adverse cardiac remodelling, in 245 low-income women. Adjusting for CVD risk factors, we examined associations between substance use and sST2 over six monthly visits.. Median age was 53 years and 74% of participants were ethnic minority women. An sST2 level > 35 ng/mL (suggesting cardiac remodelling) during ≥1 study visit was observed in 44% of participants. In adjusted analysis, higher sST2 levels were significantly and positively associated with the presence of cocaine (Adjusted Linear Effect [ALE]:1.10; 95% CI:1.03-1.19), alcohol (ALE:1.10; 95% CI:1.04-1.17), heroin (ALE:1.25; 95% CI:1.10-1.43), and the interaction between heroin and fentanyl use.. Results suggest that the use of multiple substances influences the level of sST2, a biomarker often used to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Incorporating substance use alongside cardiac biomarkers may improve CVD risk assessment in vulnerable women.

Detrimental haemodynamic effects of cyclizine in heart failure.
The haemodynamic effects of intravenous cyclizine, an antiemetic that is widely given with opioids in left ventricular failure and myocardial infarction, were studied in 11 patients with severe heart failure. Cyclizine significantly increased systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures, and right and left ventricular filling pressures, and negated the venodilatory effects of diamorphine. The use of cyclizine in patients with heart failure should, therefore, be avoided.

Acute cardiomyopathy with recurrent pulmonary edema and hypotension following heroin overdosage.
An 18-year-old man developed acute pulmonary edema following heroin overdose. Two days after initial improvement, there was recurrence of hypotension and pulmonary edema with severe hypoxemia refractory to mechanical ventilatory support utilizing positive and end-expiratory pressure. Cardiac catheterization revealed elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure suggestive of left ventricular failure. The use of digitalis and diuretics resulted in prompt clinical improvement and ultimate recovery. Evidence is presented indicating that this patient represents an uncommon but important syndrome of acute cardiomyopathy with left ventricular failure which complicates the clinical course of certain cases of heroin overdose. Its physiologic diagnosis is of obvious importance in the choice of proper therapy, thereby increasing the patient's chances of recovery.
