- What was measured
- How the endocannabinoid system affects heart and blood vessel health, and what role naturally occurring non-psychoactive modulators including phytocannabinoids, terpenes and palmitoylethanolamide might play
What the authors reported
The endocannabinoid system has a limited role under normal conditions, the authors say, but its over-activation is linked to cardiovascular conditions, and activation may also be a protective compensation. They summarise emerging data on natural modulators including PEA. No numbers are given.
Limits of this study
A narrative review, not a trial. The abstract gives no specific PEA cardiovascular results. Funding and conflicts not stated in the abstract.
