No: Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall may raise your heart rate and put a strain in your heart, but they will not contribute to coronary artery disease. If you have coronary heart disease, consult your doctor before taking these medications.

Stimulants: If your heart is normal, stimulants are safe if taken as prescribed.
