Marijuana is considered a drug of low-toxicity, however its chronic and excessive use is regarded as a risk factor for general and cardiovascular health. Although investigated for therapeutic benefits, it can evoke electrocardiographic abnormalities in a dose-dependent manner. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) experiencing intermittent episodes of presyncope with tingling sensations around the left-side of the mouth and arm following acute inhalation of marijuana. Documented episodes of sinus arrest were noted.
大麻被认为是一种低毒性药物,然而其长期和过量使用被视为影响全身和心血管健康的一个风险因素。尽管对其治疗益处进行了研究,但它可呈剂量依赖性地诱发心电图异常。我们报告一例54岁女性,在急性吸入大麻后出现发作性前驱晕厥,并伴有左侧口角和手臂刺痛感,就诊于急诊科。记录到有窦性停搏发作。
