According to the former president of the Dominican Cardiology Society (SDC), Jose Reyes Troncoso, the use of illegal drugs like cocaine by young people has a direct effect on the coronary arteries and causes heart problems. He warned that illegal drugs are often responsible for deaths due to heart attacks.

Reyes Troncoso said that the fact that young people today lead a sedentary life with limited physical activity, playing less sport than in the past, is an additional factor.

He is quoted in Hoy newspaper as saying that young people's health is deteriorating due to high consumption of alcohol, sexual stimulants and their chaotic lives.

He said that stress was responsible for a chain of events and he now sees patients aged 30 or 40 with diseases that in the past were reserved for people between the ages of 50 and 60.
