In the first study:
"In a secondary analysis, when coronary artery disease was added to the investigation, the risk of heart failure dropped from 34% to 27%, suggesting that coronary artery disease is a pathway through which daily marijuana use may lead to heart failure."
and
"A limitation of the study is that it relied on data that did not specify whether the marijuana was inhaled or eaten. According to researchers, how marijuana is ingested may influence cardiovascular outcomes."
The second study is _only_ looking at "existing cardiovascular risk factors (high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol)", so people who already have these risk factors who then _also_ use cannabis.
and
"A limitation of the analysis is that the data is from a large database, which may have coding errors in the patients’ health records. In addition, the electronic health record code for cannabis use disorder may vary from hospital to hospital, thereby skewing the results of the analysis."
- salad-tycoon 3y agoDifferent doctors and systems do different things. (Which is a problem like you pointed out). Having been at one of the largest in ”the” country, I can say the only time anyone would get this added is if they are in some kind of intensive substance abuse program or, yet much less likely, if they are on other controlled substances (think opioids) or if the doctor really hates MJ or if the patient goes into the ER frequently for side effects like cyclical vomiting. Just my minor observation but your points ring true to my ears.
