      Regular recreational use of cannabis is associated with potentially adverse features of left ventricular size and subclinical impairment of left ventricular function, compared with rare or no cannabis use, an observational study concludes. Previous use of recreational cannabis was not associated with such features, suggesting that any deleterious effects may not be permanent. There were only 47 regular users, and no amount of adjustment can correct for imbalances in the study groups. To conclude that healthcare professionals and policy makers may need to advise caution on regular recreational cannabis use is not warranted based upon these limited data

        @sanai It has been shown before that the frequent use of marijuana increased the risk of myocardial infarction and hypoxemia, but a direct pathological effect on the heart has not been shown until now. These findings should be interpreted with caution; further research is required to understand the potential pathophysiology and dose-response effects of cannabis use, as well as the long-term implications of regular use on the cardiovascular system, the authors state.
