“…CB-2 receptors have been identified in cardiomyocytes, coronary endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells [ 9 ]. The stimulation of CB-1 and CB-2 receptor have been shown to modulate the formation of atheroma [ 10 ]. ECS has a paradoxical effect.…”

“…Although her score was zero, a coronary CT calcium scan can also detect coronary artery anomalies (CAA). CAA is rare, however, indicated as the leading cause of malignant arrhythmias, ischemia, and myocardial dysfunction [ 10 ]. A patient with CAA will have a high calcium score and in young patients is the second most common cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD).…”

This case report presents a detailed analysis of a 28-year-old woman who experienced sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The patient had a history of marijuana consumption and was also diagnosed with a congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) with no prior intervention or treatment. VSD is a common acyanotic congenital heart disease, which poses a constant risk of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). During the evaluation, the patient's electrocardiogram PVCs and a prolonged QT interval were revealed. This study highlights the risk associated with the administration or consumption of drugs that can prolong the QT interval in patients with VSD. It also indicates that patients with VSD and who have a history of marijuana consumption should be cautioned about the risk of arrhythmias causing SCA due to prolonged QT interval caused by the cannabinoid. This case emphasizes the requirement of cardiac health monitoring in individuals with VSD and caution while prescribing medications that can affect the QT interval leading to life-threatening arrhythmias.

MSCT angiography was performed by radiologists, and cardiologists, who were blinded to NLR results [9].…”

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inexpensive, easy to obtain, widely available marker of inflammation. T2DM and inflammatory markers including NLR were shown to have impact on coronary artery disease (CAD) or carotid artery atherosclerosis. to examine the affiliation and essentialness of Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) with Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) and Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) identified by Multislice Computed Tomography (MSCT) Angiography in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. This examination included one hundred sort 2 diabetic patients, who are either asymptomatic or suggestive (yet non-trademark) for coronary corridor illness (CAD) and experienced MSCT angiography. All the included cases were exposed to research facility examination including investigation of (CBC, liver and kidney work tests and lipid profile). Electrocardiogram and echocardiography were done to evaluate the cardiovascular capacity and recognize any indications of intense coronary condition and myocardial localized necrosis. Multi-cut registered tomography picture reproduction and CAD assessment report was acquired to all the cases. The mean age of the cases was 54.56±8.39 years, with mean span of DM was 8.16±6.07years. There were 71males(71%) and 29 females(29%) ,52 cases were hypertensive (52%) , 52 cases were smokers(52%), 69 cases didn't have family ancestry of untimely coronary vein disease(69 %) while 31 cases had family ancestry of CAD(31%). CACS uncovered higher affectability (77.4% with AUC 0.691) at cut off 16 ounces 105 as contrasted and NLR (75.5% with AUC 0.639) at cut off point 1.95 in forecast of obstructive IHD.
