Investigating the relationship between opium use and coronary slow flow: a propensity score matched case–control study
Our study indicates that opium use is not an independent risk factor for CSFP but may exacerbate the severity of coronary artery involvement, noted by a higher incidence of multivessel disease among users. This suggests that opium may affect the extent of coronary artery issues rather than cause CSFP directly.
