As a cardiologist, I've treated young people who had heart attacks after using cocaine at parties. These drugs can be dangerous for your heart. Patients often ask me about cannabis (marijuana or weed). 📄 We just published a paper showing that cannabis use is associated with an increased risk of heart attack and may trigger acute events—even in young adults with no traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Why? Cannabis can: 🫀 Make the heart work harder (increasing oxygen demand) 🫁 Reduce oxygen delivery when smoked through carbon monoxide exposure ⚠️ Cause coronary artery spasm 🩸 Affect blood vessel function 🩹 Increase the risk of blood clots 📊 Key findings: • Nearly 5× higher risk of heart attack in the first hour after use • 25% higher heart attack risk with daily use 💬 If you use cannabis, discuss it openly with your doctor so you can make informed decisions about your cardiovascular health. 🔗 Read the full paper: #HeartHealth #Cannabis #Weed #marijuana
