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). Initial laboratory analysis was unremarkable. Echocardiogram was unchanged from baseline. Patient did not report any symptoms and was hemodynamically stable. He was euvolemic on physical exam.

Abstract 4141052: Rare Combo: An Unusual Case of a 54-year-old Filipino with Coronary Artery Fistula from Left Anterior Descending Artery to Main Pulmonary Artery and Acute Cerebellar Infarct: A Cardio – Cerebral Infarction Syndrome - Case Report

Circulation

Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated troponin I levels (>50 ng/ml) and atrial fibrillation, along with inferior wall ST elevation on the electrocardiogram. A 2D echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 43%, hypokinesia of the anterior and intraventricular septum from base to apex, and severe mitral stenosis.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG): Defined (San Fran syncope rule) as any new changes when compared to the last ECG or presence of non-sinus rhythm. Results : Electrocardiograms (99%), telemetry (95%), cardiac enzymes (95%), and head computed tomography (CT) (63%) were the most frequently obtained tests.
