Cureus. 2023 Jun 30;15(6):e41196. doi: 10.7759/cureus.41196. eCollection 2023 Jun.

ABSTRACT

Myocarditis is a rare but serious inflammatory disease of the myocardium, often caused by viral infections. We present a unique case of myocarditis in a previously healthy 29-year-old male who developed symptoms and electrocardiography changes of variant angina following cannabis use. This case report discusses the patient’s atypical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management, and outcome.
