Heart Disease
Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disease typically refers to narrowed or blocked blood vessels. Other heart conditions can affect the heart’s muscle, valves or rhythm. Symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, swollen feet or ankles, fainting, or chest pain.
Evidence shows marijuana users are much less likely to develop metabolic syndrome, a significant risk factor for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
