Most marijuana usage is focused around the brian, as a cardiovascular researcher I lean more towards the heart. What is your position on the evidence, albeit small, on cannabis causing cardiac dysrythmias? From my understanding it can cause atrial flutters and premature ventricle contractions. While these are easily enough reversed when the drugs effects where off, what do you feel would happen to a regular or heavy user? Would there be any cardiac remodeling from consistent pressure and would you recommend that anyone prone to some cardiovascular diseases not use cannabis?
