Synthetic Cannabinoids-Related Cardiovascular Emergencies: A Review of the Literature
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCBs) are a group of psychoactive compounds, known to cause a range of multisystem adverse events, including the cardiovascular system. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the literature on cardiovascular emergencies associated with SCBs. A systematic search o...

description | Synthetic cannabinoids (SCBs) are a group of psychoactive compounds, known to cause a range of multisystem adverse events, including the cardiovascular system. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the literature on cardiovascular emergencies associated with SCBs. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies published between January 2010 and September 2022. Inclusion criteria were studies reporting on cardiovascular emergencies in individuals with SCB abuse. The search yielded a total of 43 studies, including case reports, case series, and meta-analyses. This review indicates that SCB abuse can lead to a range of cardiovascular emergencies, including acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, and hypertension. The onset of these emergencies is often sudden and may occur in previously healthy individuals. The severity of these complications can vary widely, with some cases resulting in cardiac arrest or death. Management strategies for SCB-related cardiovascular emergencies include supportive care, pharmacological interventions, and, sometimes, invasive procedures. There is no specific antidote against SCB to date. In conclusion, SCB abuse is associated with various cardiovascular emergencies, which can be life-threatening in some cases. Early recognition and management of these emergencies are critical for improving outcomes. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of SCB-related cardiovascular complications and to develop effective prevention and management strategies. |
