Cannabis and Myocardial Infarction: Risk Factors and Pathogenetic Insights

Cannabis use in the US is rising with increased legalization. It has been noted that there is a five-fold increase risk of Myocardial Infarctions (MI) in the first hour after cannabis use. Traditional risk factors for MI include diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The rising use of cannabis may...

description Cannabis use in the US is rising with increased legalization. It has been noted that there is a five-fold increase risk of Myocardial Infarctions (MI) in the first hour after cannabis use. Traditional risk factors for MI include diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The rising use of cannabis may have ushered in an additional MI risk factor to be added to the list; that is cannabis. In this review, we discuss the growing use of cannabis and potential link with MI, highlighting the common pathogenic hypotheses linking these risk factors.
