vaporizer and heart/cardiac issues
There's a good attitude!
You know, you never know what your own medical team that knows your body and your history will say about the cannabis issue. If your doc has a spirit of adventure, he might not think it'd hurt to try vaping it or eating it. He might know something up there that we don't.
I meant to translate a bit for you after I read Dave's post. You may know this, but by RV he means right ventricle and LV left. Those are the bottom chambers of your heart, the ones that do the main pumping duties (the atria up above are the fill tanks). An aneurysm is a weak place in the wall of a chamber like a ventricle or a vessel like a vein or artery. People with your heart condition tend to have aneurysmal signs in their RVs, apparently. I don't know why he was asking about your LV. "Hypertrophy" is overgrowth or abnormal growth or thickening. In heart talk, "tachy" means fast and "brady" means slow. Tachycardia is a fast heartbeat. Ventricular tachycardia is fast beating of the bottom chambers. You probably already know all this, but it was a good review for me. Over the years, either dealing with my own a-fib or listening to him, I've absorbed some basic cardiology info. I wish it interested me more from the standpoint of my own medical ambitions, but it just doesn't call me. Too much to do with pipes and pumps and electricity. Sorta like plumbing and refrigeration and air conditioning. I need more of a girly medical specialty . . . .
Here's an interesting link I just found that seems to have some good info:
