@hannahcardio Hi Hannah! In my opinion, I think the difference that is the most significant is that women receive different or less treatment than men. I think this results in the biggest difference in how people recover from the heart attack, what are your thoughts @hannahcardio? #biom4180

This article discusses the differences between men and women and furthers what we learned the other day in class. The authors explain how the differences often cause women to have a worse outcome when dealing with heart attacks. #BIOM4180

A study with 800 #athletes found that although these participants were active 3+ times a week, 11% had cardiovascular disease! Another thing they found is that these athletes showed no symptoms! Interesting tie into what we learned in class! #biom4180

The @HeartandStroke foundation found that almost half of American adults are affected by #cardiovasclar disease. This includes high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. #biom4180

A major study called the Sleep Heart Health Study discovered that people with sleep-disordered breathing are at a greater risk for developing #cardiovascular disease, especially in patients with diabetes! #biom4180

Pregnant women are at five times greater risk of a life-threatening blood clot than non-pregnant women. The risk increases after delivery. Learn more here: https://t.co/7MUPjiFKo6 and share any concerns with your health care provider.

Interesting perspective into common practices of doctors incorporating #wearabledevices in order to get their patients ECGs! #biom4180

[Nassir Marrouche @nmarrouche]

Do you welcome wearables (#AppleWatch, #googleWatch, #SamsungActive, #alivecor, #ECGCheck etc.) into your daily practice to aquire your patient’s #ECGs? @drsuneet @CMichaelGibson @PassmanRod @khaldountarakji @Dr_Santangeli @SergioPinski @Phiso_de @EricTopol

Blueberries are a natural anti-hypertensive due to their anthocyanins. A study shows that 200g of blueberries daily decreased blood pressure by 5 mmHg. In fact, purified anthocyanins caused a dose-dependent improvement on total endothelial health #BIOM4180 https://t.co/bUxKr6u7I5

@CardiologyLove Wow, thats a great article and also furthers what we learned in class the other day about the sex differences! #biom4180

@heart_helpful I'm not sure if the outcomes are quite the same because of the different physiology between the two. I added a picture below that lists a few different outcomes when compared to each other. #BIOM4180

Interesting research on the prevalence of misclassification of myocardial injury as myocardial infarction. This research found that 42% of the myocardial infarction cases were actually myocardial injury. Read more below! #biom4180 https://t.co/cuFQxGQcM1

Did you know including a few nuts into your diet can have major heart benefits by reducing your risk for #cardiovascular disease? Researchers found that walnuts, tree nuts and peanuts can all help to keep your heart healthy! #BIOM4180

Cool new research found that there is a high risk of #cardiovascular disease in young people with end stage renal disease. Transplants and optimizing health care was found to be the best was to control this! #biom4180

The FDA recently approved the first ever absorbable #stent to treat #coronaryheartdisease! Previously, stents were permentaley left in place which can cause scar tissue and leads to the artery narrowing again! Read more in the article! #BIOM4180

A recent study that followed 16,000 participants with diabetes for more than 3 decades found that nuts greatly reduced the risk of heart disease and death. Specifically, tree nuts had a greater correlation than peanuts at lowering risk! #BIOM4180

A new smartphone app has been shown to help reduce blood pressure in diabetic and hypertensive patients. The app allows them to take their blood pressure at home with a cuff that connects to the app and gives them tips on how to manage it! #BIOM4180

Keith Hutchings suffered from coronary artery disease and two 100% blocked arteries. A new technique was used to fix this, which included a mesh tube that goes around the build up and gives blood a new pathway! #BIOM4180

There's lots of debate around the relative safety of smoking vs vaping, but the American Heart Association hasn't forgotten about hookahs! In a recent statement, they warned of the link between chronic exposure to hookah smoke and increased CVD #biom4180 https://t.co/FH3P16waob

There is a type of heart attack, known as #minoca, that casues a #heartattack with no clogged coronary arteries. Researchers have found that women are at a higher risk for minoca but men are at a higher risk for regular heart attacks. #BIOM4180
