Following a previous ?, if a person had a one-time stimulant-induced event of prolonged tachycardia (hr 120-160 for <10 hours; unknown bp), is it likely to increase risk of brain aneurysm later on?

Risk of aneurysm: Doesn't have any necessary relationship. Aneurysm develop due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel.
