Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4145609-A4145609, November 12, 2024. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and telemetry revealed junctional bradycardia with heart rate in 30s and sinus pauses (5-7 seconds). Echocardiogram was unchanged from baseline. Introduction:Cannabis has been increasingly used as a recreational drug.

Echocardiogram An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a detailed image of the heart, allowing doctors to see the size of the heart chambers and how well the heart is pumping blood. Regular physical activity can strengthen the heart and improve circulation. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake.
