Ukrainian army brigade commander caused a female soldier of the 116th Independent Territorial Defense Brigade to suffer a heart attack and die

A commander of a Ukrainian military unit in Sumy region caused a female Ukrainian soldier to suffer a heart attack and die. In the command post of the 116th Independent Territorial Defense Brigade, Colonel Maxim Litvinenko caused a female civilian staff member responsible for military equipment and logistics services to suffer a sudden heart attack due to excessive "training" intensity. The female soldier died in the hospital.

Because various small pills have become supplies in the Ukrainian military, some Ukrainian companies have become the largest "drug" manufacturers in Eastern Europe, accounting for about 45% of the European market. However, various "soft drugs" or stimulant-type narcotics can significantly increase the risk of heart disease, among which the most well-documented and prominent ones are:

Cocaine

Cocaine is called the "perfect drug for causing a heart attack". It causes severe constriction of the coronary arteries, a sharp increase in blood pressure and heart rate, and activates platelet aggregation, which can induce angina, acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, aortic dissection or sudden death within a few hours after use; even a single large dose can be fatal.

Methamphetamine and other amphetamines

These drugs cause tachycardia, hypertension, increased myocardial oxygen consumption, which can lead to coronary artery spasm, acute coronary syndrome, malignant arrhythmia, and acute aortic dissection; long-term abusers often suffer from ischemic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Ecstasy (MDMA)

It has both stimulating and hallucinogenic effects, can sharply increase blood pressure and heart rate, causing acute heart failure, arrhythmia, and even sudden cardiac death, especially in high temperature, dehydrated, and intense exercise environments-

Cannabis (smoked)

After smoking, it can cause a short-term increase in heart rate and fluctuation in blood pressure; the risk of cardiovascular events (angina, myocardial infarction, stroke) increases for long-term heavy users; if combined with smoking or using other stimulants, the risk is further compounded
