An Osborn wave may be observed on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a late delta wave at the end of the QRS complex in cases of hypothermia. An 18-year-old male known to be a synthetic cannabinoid user was found unconscious and hypothermic. The patient's body temperature was 33ºC, and an Osborn wave and
Left ventricular dysfunction triggers the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, providing inotropic support to the failing heart and concomitantly increasing the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). The cardiovascular effects of cannabis have been characterized as biphasic on the autonomic
BACKGROUND
Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in Israel, and unlike most of the other illegal drugs, it is common among segments of the population with higher demographic characteristics.
METHODS
A healthy 20 year old male patient, with two previous admissions with atrial fibrillation,
Marijuana and its synthetic forms, called synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), are used as recreational drugs. Bonzai is a kind of SC. Adverse cardiovascular events have been reported with abuse of marijuana and SCs, including arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Presently described
Marijuana is one of the most popular drugs legally admitted for general sale in many countries. To consider it safe and unlikely to develop drug dependence is abusive. The use of marijuana as a herbal medication is being widely discussed in literature. The most promising effect of
We report a case of prolonged atrial fibrillation (AF) precipitated by new-onset generalized tonic-clonic convulsions and marijuana abuse in a developmentally normal 18-year-old adolescent with a structurally normal heart. Our case highlights an interesting association and a unique pathophysiology
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that may occur after various triggers. With the exception of the well recognized "holiday heart" associated with acute alcohol consumption, the cause of AF is rarely identified in young adults. We report a case of paroxysmal AF after
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug while its abuse and dependence has an increasing prevalence among the young population. Marijuana smoking affects the circulatory system triggering various cardiovascular events. Of note, recent case reports indicate a possible association with atrial
The use of synthetic cannabinoids is being increasingly recognised worldwide, but the chemical compositions and physiological effects of these drugs are poorly characterised and are continually changing. New substances are constantly being added to the content of synthetic cannabinoids and they are
: Cerebrovascular events associated with marijuana use have been reported previously. This association is plausible, but not well-established yet. A 14-year-old girl, long-term heavy cannabis user, presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures and decreased level of consciousness a few hours
Background: Studies that have analyzed the association between cannabis use and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have provided conflicting results. In this study, we aim to determine the association of recent cannabis use detected through
