We have recently reported that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher likelihood of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) presenting with non-shockable rhythms (NSR) (pulseless electrical activity/asystole), as opposed to shockable rhythms (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia).

Propensity score-matched analysis (PSM) (1:1) was performed with matching for age, gender, race, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hemoglobin level, low-density lipid (LDL) level, left ventricular ejection fraction, and various drugs including ACEi, ARBi, ARNI, beta-blockers, and diuretics.

He was counseled to abstain from cannabis use.Conclusion:At low to moderate doses, cannabis can lead to a surge in sympathetic activity causing tachycardia and hypertension, while parasympathetic activity is predominant at higher doses, causing bradycardia and hypotension. Patient did not report any symptoms and was hemodynamically stable.
