Younger people with cannabis use disorder are at an increased risk of heart rhythm problems. A second presentation says that young people who use weed frequently are at a higher risk for stroke

The first presentation found that a young person diagnosed with a cannabis use disorder had a 47% to 52% greater risk of being hospitalized for an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, if they regularly used weed.

In that data, 2.6% of patients hospitalized for a heart arrhythmia were regular cannabis users. These patients tended to be younger, between the ages of 15 and 24, male and black. "The risk of cannabis use linked to arrhythmia in young people is a major concern, and physicians should ask patients hospitalized with arrhythmias about their use of cannabis and other substances because they could be triggering their arrhythmias."

This was an observational study and did not look at what might cause the increased risk. But authors hope doctors will take the information into account when they talk to their patients.
