In the wake of the tragedy that happened one year ago today remember to become an organ donor, like Logan Boulet. It is important to raise awareness support; find out more about green shirt day #biom4180

The rate of maternal deaths decreased by 44% from 1990 to 2015. In #Biom4180, we learned about the cardiac changes associated with pregnancy. This study discusses high risk groups and recommends ensuring optimal heart function before conceiving https://t.co/hJvgBq6iR3

@CassfCollins I agree. Hypertension in children is yet another reason to encourage healthy lifestyle choices at a young age. Hopefully to make a change in the high rates of childhood obesity! #Biom4180

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

Interesting find! I liked that the article mentioned the importance of careful diagnosis despite a positive troponin test. As learned in #Biom4180, the first step is patient history. Considering all the presented facts can prevent misdiagnoses!

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

Earlier diagnosis means earlier treatment, leading to better outcomes! PET/MRI scans have been shown to reveal inflammation in arteries as an indication of early atherosclerosis! #Biom4180 Check out this article to learn more https://t.co/E3pwXpyhOD

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

Don't forget the increased risk of coronary artery disease!! So many mechanisms in the body are affected by sleep deprivation like inflammation and hypertension, to name a few. #CAD #Biom4180

[DRoq @DRoq11]

A good introduction into the topic of our Youtube video! Getting an insufficient amount of good quality sleep can increase your risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis @CardioMeag @GuelphYB #biom4180 https://t.co/MSGZb71mJy

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

The importance of nutritious diets on heart health is seen everywhere! What changes are you making in your diet? #biom4180

[American Heart News @HeartNews]

Too much sodium can raise blood pressure. High blood pressure raises the risk of heart attacks, stroke and kidney disease. https://t.co/JMQtka0LiR

@kelcvan I do too, so this is great news! I wonder how effective this is on the acute increase in BP due to stress.. This could be a game changer for University students all around! #biom4180

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

The increased risk of arrhythmias is an important consideration when drinking caffeinated beverages in excess amounts, as learned in #biom4180.. I'm intrigued by the drastically different effects food/drinks can have on the body due to the substances that make it up!

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

@GundeepB @Harmun6 I'm also interested in knowing whether these have long term impacts on recipients! Definitely an innovative idea, but further research may help clarify these worries. #biom4180

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

@EmmaCardio Interesting finding! Anti-depressants have also been implicated in increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The following study related the use of anti-depressants to metabolic syndrome, and subsequently CVD.. check it out! #biom4180 https://t.co/p6kYAK5a8m

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

@ekarageorgos Everything in moderation! Eggs definitely have their benefits, so I think it's still important to incorporate them in our diets. Another option may be to encourage consumption of egg whites instead! After all, breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day #biom4180

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

What are your priorities? Fresh breath or stable blood pressure? This article talks about a study that links antiseptic mouthwash and its disturbance of the oral microbiota with an increase in blood pressure! #biom4180

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

This article shows a mix of evidence for a potential assoc. between hormonal replacement therapies and venous thromboembolism. Further research is definitely needed for safer options for transgender individuals beginning their transitions #biom4180 #LGBTQ https://t.co/fXEgDOdBqy

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

Did you know that mental health can negatively impact outcomes in people with CVD? This article stresses the importance of mental health resources for diagnosis and treatment of anxiety & depression in cardiac patients #biom4180 #MentalHealthAwareness https://t.co/D1HQFSYNqb

[Heather Richards @heeaather_ri]

Getting those brief powernaps in is essential for the student life but next time try to swap those naps with an uninterrupted full nights rest - your heart will thank you! Study found broken sleep caused blood vessel damage in mice. #biom4180 #sleepwell

Very interesting finding! The warnings placed around saunas for those with heart problems may have the wrong idea. I look forward to hearing about further research surrounding the mechanisms providing these benefits #hearthealth #sauna #biom4180

[Matthew Bunko @matt_4180]

Relaxing in a sauna not only feels great, researchers have found it reduces cardiovascular events in both males and females. Another great reason to plan a spa getaway. #biom4180

@GuelphYB I'm surprised he was able to tolerate the symptoms long enough for the buildup of calcium to become so severe. Check out the other symptoms that often accompany swollen legs with constrictive pericarditis: https://t.co/LaIWlXp9dA #constrictivepericarditis #biom4180

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

Choosing to lead a healthy lifestyle like Susan Lucci does decrease your chances of cardiac events. Don't let her bad luck make you think otherwise, flukes and genetic predispositions often can't be avoided #lookforthesigns #hearthealth #biom4180

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

Actress Susan Lucci found herself in the ER with two blocked arteries. Now she’s spreading the word about the warning signs of heart disease. https://t.co/WOpe6mUjf2

[CardioMeag @CardioMeag]

@imtisal_j Interesting and relevant finding! I wonder if they expect the small liver size to increase with the liver's regenerating capabilities. Although as we know, lower cardiac output decreases organ perfusion, so either way it sounds like these metabolic problems will persist #biom4180
