Abstract in brief

  • Cannabis use has been linked to myocardial infarction (heart attacks) since the 1970s, but the relationship is complex and may depend on specific usage patterns and individual factors.
  • Most studies so far have only broadly categorized people as users or non-users of cannabis, highlighting the need for more detailed, prospective research to understand the true causal relationship.
  • Clinicians should consider recent cannabis use when evaluating young, healthy patients with chest pain, and accurate documentation of such use is important for both immediate care and future research on its cardiovascular effects.]

Review: There are reports that linked cannabis to myocardial infarction since the 1970s. Robust prospective studies are required. Clinicians should be aware of the potential increased risk of MI in young healthy patients with chest pain and cannabis use https://t.co/DZzU2bJlw2
