Abuse of prohibited substances in various circles of society, especially in groups of adolescents to young adults is not a new phenomenon.
Drug use, especially in excess, will have a negative effect on the organ system, even can be fatal to cause death. One of the organs that can be affected by substance abuse is the heart organ.
According to dr Teuku Istia Muda Perdana, SpJP, FIHA from Heart Hospital Diagram, Siloam Hospital Group, the effect of drug use on heart is very diverse, ranging from mild to severe disturbance. The following effects of the use of four groups of drugs at heart:

#Cannabis.

In higher doses use, cannabis can cause a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, but rarely to cause a fatal condition.

#Cocaine, amphetamines, and ecstasy.

All three types of these substances have a similar effect on the heart. This substance will cause an increase in the hormone catecholamine which causes the heart to work harder. The effect that occurs is an increase in blood pressure that occurs suddenly
With the sudden increase in cardiac activity, the need for heart muscle oxygen will increase, and if not sufficient can cause death of the heart muscle.
"The effect of using this substance in the long term is damage to blood vessel walls, both in large arterial blood vessels and coronary blood vessels, which can lead to tear in blood vessel walls," explained the doctor who is familiarly called Dani on the media discussion at heart Hospital Diagram, Siloam Hospital Group, Jakarta (26/10).
In addition it can also damage the heart muscle that can disrupt the function of the heart pump, as well as heart rhythm disturbances to cardiac arrest.
#LSD and psilocybin

Both of these substances are hallucinogenic, or cause the user to experience hallucinations. Meanwhile, the effect on the heart in the form of increased heart rate and blood pressure.
"A rare but seriously serious effect is a heart rhythm disturbance of tachyarrhythmias, where the heart rate increases very quickly," says doctor Dani.
#Morphine and its variant derivatives.

In the medical world, morphine is a powerful painkiller, widely used by soldiers in the era of world war. However, excessive use of this substance will cause dependence.
This substance will give the sensation of "fly" on the user. The main effect of morphine is the decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. The higher the dose consumed, the greater the effect in lowering the work of the heart, until it can be fatal as shock and cardiac arrest.
Doctor Dani confirms, all of these drug classes have the same harmful effects on heart health if abused.

"Regardless of age, the more usage, the more often the intensity it will be more quickly damage organs, including the heart. In fact, it could be in a matter of months. "

Unfortunately, since most drug addicts will not tell others, they often come to the hospital in a serious condition of heart disease.

"It's like an iceberg phenomenon. Few drug addicts with heart disease come to the hospital. That too they come if the condition is already very severe. In fact, it's very difficult to make them confess as users. In fact, for treatment, we must know the source of the cause
