AB  - Ecstasy normally contains 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) that increases 
      the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine in the central nervous system 
      with consequent adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Herein, we 
      presented a case of ecstasy abuse which resulted in two episodes myocardial 
      infarction during a three month period; the second episode led to death due to
