  • Research suggests cannabis use may raise your risk for a heart attack or stroke. Dr. Christine Jellis is a cardiologist with Cleveland Clinic hospitals and she explains what this research found and what kind of risk marijuana use can pose to a person's cardiac health.

The article from MSN, featuring insights from Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, discusses the potential link between marijuana use and increased risks of heart attack and stroke. Dr. Rajagopalan explains that while marijuana has been historically viewed as relatively benign, recent studies suggest it might not be as harmless as previously thought, particularly concerning cardiovascular health. He points out that marijuana can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, which could precipitate heart attacks or strokes, especially in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions. The discussion also touches on the need for more comprehensive research to understand the full scope of marijuana's impact on heart health, given its increasing legalization and use for both recreational and medicinal purposes.
