A member asked:

I have mild lvh , 1.3 wall thickness caused by hypertension and was wondering if marijuana affects the lvh if i am a smoker? i am on 25mg atenolol

A doctor has provided 1 answer

To Some Extent: Marijuana does not commonly effect hypertrophy or hypertension in a negative way but this is not a guarantee. There have been rare reports of heart attacks and stroke associated with marijuana use. Best advice: If you have underlying heart disease it is best to avoid any futher damage. Damage to your lungs increases cardiac work and may precipitate further heart problems.
