Transient electrocardiographic changes following smoking cannabis

Transient electrocardiographic changes following smoking cannabis

Abstract We report a case of transient ECG abnormalities (negative T waves in the inferior leads) associated with presyncope related to acute cannabis consumption; after a few hours the ECG returned normal. Although pathophysiological mechanisms are not clear, it might be hypothesize a mismatch betw...
