Marijuana Use & Endothelial Function; CV & Bleeding With Aspirin v. Clopidogrel; Mental Health for Survivors of SCA and ICD Shock
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at chronic marijuana smoking and THC-edible use and its impairment of endothelial function. He then discusses the cardiovascular (CV) and bleeding effects of aspirin versus clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Finally, Dr. Eagle explores the importance of addressing mental health symptoms in survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) who experience shocks from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
