Cocaine is the second most commonly used illicit drug and the most frequent cause of drug-related deaths in the United States. Approximately 24 million people in the United States have used cocaine at least once, and five million abuse cocaine on a regular basis. Its use is associated with acute and chronic complications affecting many organ systems, the most common being the cardiovascular system.
