Good Heart but very bad plumbing.
Coronary artery bypass surgery, also coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina and reduce the risk of death from coronary artery disease. Arteries or veins from elsewhere in the patient's body are grafted to the coronary arteries to bypass atherosclerotic narrowings and improve the blood supply to the coronary circulation supplying the myocardium (heart muscle). This surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped, necessitating the usage of cardiopulmonary bypass; techniques are available to perform CABG on a beating heart, so-called "off-pump" surgery.

Thanks for saying ..........
Quote:
Another fairly recent study suggests that marijuana use affects the hearts of recreational users as well. A Harvard University study in 2000, which surveyed roughly 4,000 people who suffered heart attacks, found that about 37 out of the 124 marijuana users suffered a heart attack within one day of using marijuana. One leader of the study, Dr. Murray Mittleman, believes these people had heart attacks because the average person's heart rate jumps to about 40 beats more per minute after using the drug. This finding led researchers to conclude that the average person's risk for heart attack is about five times higher after smoking marijuana, namely the first hour after smoking it. Other researchers argue that using marijuana causes insignificant risks to the cardiovascular system. Notably, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, a marijuana researcher at Harvard University, believes that marijuana does not directly correlate with cardiovascular disease. He specifically referred to the Harvard study, claiming that marijuana causes the heart to jump 20 beats, rather than 40 beats, more per minute. In any case, marijuana's correlation with heart disease remains unresolved.
