Marijuana may be deadly after heart attack

wls
By ABC7

Researchers studied 2,000 heart attack patients and found those who regularly smoked marijuana in the year before a heart attack were 2 to 4 times more likely to die within the next four years.

Marijuana increases blood pressure and speeds the heart rate while the smoke exposes users to carbon monoxide.

This study appears in the American Heart Journal.
