A member asked:
Is smoking meth going to decrease my chance of improving my 15% heart failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I"m not sure how you got the figure 15%. But chronic meth use places a demand on the heart that isn't otherwise there, and thereby increases the likelihood of future heart problems, including congestive heart failure.
