Incidental Acute ST Elevation Due to Cannabis-Induced Myocarditis After a Mechanical Fall

We present the case of a young male with an orthopedic injury after a mechanical fall, who developed atypical chest pain associated with ST elevation and elevated biomarkers suggestive of myocardial injury. He was found to have myocarditis on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that we postulate was...

Sumario:We present the case of a young male with an orthopedic injury after a mechanical fall, who developed atypical chest pain associated with ST elevation and elevated biomarkers suggestive of myocardial injury. He was found to have myocarditis on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that we postulate was secondary to inhalation of marijuana. Cannabis-induced myocarditis and its potential complications are a health hazard that is bound to grow with the legalization of marijuana use in many countries.
