Abstract 4145609: The Cardiac Conundrum of Cannabis: A Case of Junctional Bradycardia Triggered by Cannabis Use

Circulation

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and telemetry revealed junctional bradycardia with heart rate in 30s and sinus pauses (5-7 seconds). He was admitted for further workup of bradycardia. His home medications included metoprolol succinate 25mg daily which was held given bradycardia. Initial laboratory analysis was unremarkable.

Head Up Tilt Test (HUTT)

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Sometimes, head up tilt test, also known in short as HUTT, is also done for the evaluation of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, POTS, a condition in which there is tachycardia on standing up, without a fall in blood pressure. Second is cardioinhibitory response, in which there is bradycardia, but no hypotension.

How a pause can cause cardiac arrest

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A coronary angiogram was done that did not show significant coronary artery disease. But there are 3 other wide beats in the tachycardia that begins with beat #6 ( = beats #7; 13,14 ). Post ROSC the patient was alert and cooperative. Echocardiography showed apical ballooning with hypokinesis.
