Abstract

Substance abuse is a social problem that can be seen at all ages, leading to physical and mental social problems. According to the electrocardiographic (ECG) findings, a sixty-one-year-old male patient with 25 years of chronic cannabis use was considered wellens’ syndrome. LAD total occlusion was detected after the patient's emergency coronary intervention. The association of wellens’ syndrome, seen without coronary total occlusion and informing occlusion, with cannabis use has not been reported in the literature before. The thought of this syndrome in patients with cannabis use should be considered in terms of causing mortality rapidly.

Özet

Madde bağımlılığı, fiziksel, ruhsal sosyal sorunlara yol açan tüm yaşlarda görülebilen bir toplumsal problemdir. 25 yıl kronik esrar kullanımı olan altmış bir yaşında erkek hastada elektrokardiyografi (EKG) bulgularına göre wellens sendromu düşünüldü. Hastanın acil koroner girişim sonrası LAD total oklüzyonu saptandı. Koroner total oklüzyon olmadan görülen ve oklüzyonu haber veren wellens sendromunun esrar kullanımı ile birlikteliği literatürde daha önce bildirilmedi. Esrar kullanımı olan hastalarda da bu sendromun düşünülmesi hızla mortaliteye yolaçması açısından düşünülmesi gerekmektedir.
