Synthetic marijuana is an uptrending designer drug currently widely spread in the US. We report a case of acute deterioration of nonischemic left ventricular dysfunction after exposure to synthetic marijuana. This case illustrates the importance of history taking in cardiac patients and identifies a negative cardiovascular effect of synthetic marijuana known as K2, not yet well detected by urine toxicology screening tools.
合成大麻是一种目前在美国广泛传播的呈上升趋势的新型毒品。我们报告了一例接触合成大麻后非缺血性左心室功能急性恶化的病例。该病例说明了心脏病患者病史采集的重要性,并确定了合成大麻(即K2)对心血管的负面影响,而尿液毒理学筛查工具尚未很好地检测到这种影响。
