People who abuse meth can reverse heart damage caused by the drug if they quit.

Researchers in Germany followed 30 meth users who had some degree of heart failure.

Those who stopped taking the drugs while receiving medical treatment had significant improvement in their symptoms and cardiac function.

They were also much less likely to suffer stroke or die, than patients who continued to use meth during their treatment.
