Cannabis : facteur de risque cardiovasculaire ? - Revue autour d'un cas d'infarctus du myocarde du sujet jeune.

Cannabis is one of the most widely used drugs in the world today. Cardiovascular manifestations associated with its consumption, in particular acute coronary syndroms, have long been propagated in the literature. This contrasts with the lack of awareness of its harmful effects. The legalization of this drug in several countries of the world with the increase in its use for non-recreational purposes should be associated with a wide prevention and sensibilization of health care workers, patients and consumers in order to prevent cardiovascular disorders. We then report the case of a 36-year-old young man whose risk factor is regular cannabis consumption and chronic smoking who presents for an acute myocardial infarction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
