BACKGROUND
A 60-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a left eye orbital rupture sustained during a fall due to syncope shortly after smoking more than his usual amount of marijuana.
METHODS
The patient reported experiencing a shock from his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
New substances are constantly being added to the content of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs). SCs can affect the cardiovascular system and cause hypotension and bradycardia, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, prolonged QTc, and Mobitz type II atrioventricular block. However, no cases associated
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pharmacologically induced hypothermia with WIN55, 212-2 (WIN)on postresuscitation myocardial function, microcirculation, and metabolism-specific lipids in a rat cardiac arrest (CA) model. Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether hypothermia could be induced pharmacologically after resuscitation with the cannabinoid CB1/CB2 receptor agonist in a rat model and its effects on outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled experimental
OBJECTIVE
The nonselective Cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonist, WIN55, 212-2, was demonstrated to induce hypothermia and improve post-resuscitation outcomes in a rat post-cardiac arrest model. The present study was to explore the potential mechanisms of WIN55, 212-2 on thermoregulation following
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the mechanisms of improved myocardial and neurological function and survival following i.v. administration of cannabinoid receptor agonist, WIN55, 212-2 in a rat model of cardiac arrest.
METHODS
Prospective randomized controlled experimental
Brugada syndrome, also called Pokkuri Death Syndrome, is an autosomal dominant electrophysiological phenomenon that increases the risk of spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Due to sodium channel mutations in the cardiac membrane, most commonly SCN5A and SCN10A, the
Marijuana, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, is the most commonly abused illicit drug in the United States. Now, more than ever, due to changing regulations, marijuana is more readily available and is known to be habitually used by millions. The neuropsychiatric effects of marijuana are
Introduction: Cannabis use results in elevation of heart rate and blood pressure immediately after use, primarily due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation and parasympathetic nervous system inhibition. These effects may precipitate cardiac dysrhythmia. The objective of our study was to
With increasing legalization, marijuana has become the most commonly abused substance in the United States. Together with the introduction of more potent marijuana products over the years, more adverse events are being reported and clinically characterized. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the
Marijuana is the most common drug of abuse in the United States. Marijuana acts on cannabinoid receptors CB1, CB2 and another distinct endothelial receptor. Marijuana is known to cause tachycardia, hypotension and hypertension. Various arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, II
More than four decades ago, the United States Surgeon General issued a warning regarding the medical problems of marijuana smoking, including cardiac toxicity. Since then, many reports have described atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, acute coronary syndromes, and cardiac arrest
Cannabis is a frequently used recreational drug that potentially imposes serious health problems. We report three cases where recent and/or chronic use of marijuana led to severe cardiac dysfunction. All three patients collapsed at home and required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with initial
