Using\u00a0marijuana\u00a0doubles the risk of dying from heart disease, according to a new analysis of pooled medical data involving 200 million people mostly between the ages of 19 and 59.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was particularly striking was that the concerned patients hospitalized for these disorders were young (and thus, not likely to have their clinical features due to tobacco smoking) and with no history of cardiovascular disorder or cardiovascular risk factors,\u201d said senior author \u00c9milie Jouanjus,<\/em>\u00a0an associate professor of pharmacology at the University of Toulouse, France, in an email.<\/p>\n

Compared to nonusers, those who used cannabis also had a 29% higher risk for heart attacks and a 20% higher risk for stroke, according to the study published Tuesday in the\u00a0journal Heart.<\/p>\n
