In this international, multicenter diagnostic study, biomarkers quantifying endothelial dysfunction, microvascular dysfunction, and/or hemodynamic stress were higher in individuals with T2MI vs T1MI https://t.co/5Ga5I76hZ3

Congratulations to the @uofg 2021 #biom4180 class!

As part of the course students completed several #SoMe assignments.

In addition to @instagram #infographics & #blogs, they have been tweeting away.

In 12 weeks they produced over 6000 tweets covering all things cardiovascular!

DYK? Almost one third of deaths from coronary #heartdisease are due to #smoking and secondhand smoke. https://t.co/gwDS1Ez1cH

A paper published in @JACCJournals state that ketone bodies have protective effects in cardiovascular disease patients. To add, exogenous ketone bodies could be administered as an alternative to a ketogenic diet to raise levels of ketone bodies. #biom4180

Did you know that mental health is associated with risk factors for heart disease? Mental health disorders can actually lead to ⬆️ heart rate and blood pressure. They can also lead to reduced blood flow to the heart and ⬆️ cortisol levels. #biom4180

(2/2) These findings further suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, should be used to treat patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) regardless of their glycemic status. #biom4180

[The Cardiologist Insider @Cardiology4180]

(1/2) A study found that empagliflozin, a drug used to lower blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, helps improve short-term outcomes and quality of life in non-diabetic patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. @JACCJournals #biom4180

A large-scale study published in @JAMANetwork found that supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, once thought to help reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), failed to limit the incidence of AF. #biom4180

New #transcatheter 'Harmony' model approved for use by the FDA. Heart valve replacement through a catheter approach improves patient #QualityOfLife by reducing the number of open #heart surgeries a #patient has to go through in life. #biom4180

A study found that elevated levels of brain natriuretic peptide, a hormone released in response to increased ventricular blood volume, after transcatheter aortic valve replacement was independently linked to subsequent mortality. @JAMACardio #biom4180

(2/2) The findings from this study suggest that elderly patients who do not want to seek conventional clinic-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR), mainly due to transportation difficulties, may consider home-based CR as an effective therapy for coronary artery disease. #biom4180

[The Cardiologist Insider @Cardiology4180]

(1/2) A study published in @JAMACardio found that, as compared to no cardiac rehabilitation (CR), six months of home-based mobile CR in patients over 65 years of age with coronary artery disease is safe and useful in raising peak oxygen uptake. #biom4180

The Ross Procedure, which involves replacing a patient's diseased aortic valve with their own pulmonary valve, was found to be a suitable treatment option for young and middle-aged adults in need of an aortic valve replacement. #biom4180

(2/2) The findings from this study suggest that professional athletes who were previously infected with COVID-19 can, for the most part, safely return to professional sports activities. #biom4180

[The Cardiologist Insider @Cardiology4180]

(1/2) A study published in @JAMACardio found very few cases of inflammatory heart disease in professional athletes (5/789 athletes; 0.6%) who returned to play after being previously infected with COVID-19. #biom4180
