Cardiovascular Effects of Cannabinoids
Abstract
Marijuana is now one of the most widely used substances in the United States that has been rising in prevalence given increasing legalization and recreational and medical usage. Despite its widespread use, there have been increasing concerns regarding the cardiovascular safety of marijuana. Recent studies have found a link between marijuana use and the development of cardiovascular disease. Most notably, marijuana has been found to be associated with various cardiac complications, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, and arteritis. Given these growing concerns, this article seeks to examine the effects and significance of marijuana on cardiovascular health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
