“…Users and lay people believe that marijuana or hashish is safe. Many cases of cardiovascular events have, however, been related to a cannabis consumption [3][4][5], and cases of acute ischemia even in the presence of normal coronary arteries have been previously reported [6][7][8][9]. Whether cannabis use can actually cause acute ischemia is, however, yet not known.…”

Cannabis smoking is consistently increasing in Europe and after alcohol it is the most common recreational drug in the western world. Users and lay people believe that marijuana or hashish is safe. Over the past four decades, however, it has been well established that cannabis has pathophysiological effects on the cardiovascular system. Information concerning the link between cannabis consumption and myocardial infarction is limited and existing data are controversial on this topic. In our case report, we describe a case of a young man who after smoking marijuana experienced ST elevation myocardial infarction caused by acute thrombosis of the descending artery, submitted to efficacious primary coronary angioplasty.

“…sympathic system, inhibits the parasympathic system and induces the inflammatory response at the level of the arterial wall (oxidative stress, platelets activation, deformation of oxidize LDL and hyper-reactivation of factor VII) which leads to an endothelial erosion and thrombus formation in case of normal coronary arteries [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The reduced availability of nitric oxide secondary to the cannabinoids led to the disturbance of the endothelium function and resulted to activation, adhesion and aggregatrion of platelets [7].…”

“…However, in very young patients without plaque rupture or dissection, as in our case, balloon angioplasty and thrombus aspiration might be a good alternative approach to stenting to avoid the risk of stent thrombosis and restenosis at a young age. Thrombolytic therapy might be another alternative approach [10]. …”

A b s t r a c tCannabis smoking has been rising world-wide especially in industrialized western countries. It has been known that cannabis use has adverse effects on the heart and vascular system and an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been reported. The actual mechanism of cannabis-related AMI is not well known. In this report, we describe an adolescent with cannabis-induced recurrent left anterior descending coronary artery thrombosis and anterior myocardial infarction even on dual anti-platelet therapy.K Ke ey y w wo or rd ds s: : cannabis, marijuana, recurrent myocardial infarction, dual anti-platelet therapy S t r e s z c z e n i ePalenie konopi indyjskich rozpowszechnia się zwłaszcza w uprzemysłowionych krajach zachodnich. Udowodniono, że negatywnie wpływa ono na serce i układ naczyniowy oraz zwiększa ryzyko wystąpienia ostrego zawału serca. Dokładny mechanizm zawału serca wywołanego przez konopie indyjskie nie jest znany. Przedstawiamy przypadek młodego pacjenta z nawrotem zakrzepicy w gałęzi przedniej zstępującej i ostrym zawałem serca, mimo stosowania podwójnej terapii przeciwpłytkowej.
