This dumpster fire of a study published by @JVascSurg has generated a lot of blowback from #MedTwitter. The take home message: medical professionals shouldn't post inappropriate #SoMe content. So, what is "inappropriate"?

Since moving back home, my mom has claimed that my brother's and my own behaviour will cause her to have a heart attack! My misinformed brother responds with, "but women never get heart attacks."
Booooooooooy, let me tell you a thing or two about a thing or two... #biom4180

I've never related to an animal more. Did you know that a python's ❤️⬆️ size at meal times?
Burmese pythons add 40% to their ❤️muscle mass within 48 hours of eating... it shrinks back when they're hangry though #Me #Biom4180

Many women experience chest pain w/out diagnosis of #CAD. The explanation for this is Coronary Microvascular Disease, where the tiny vessels supplying the heart undergo changes that impede blood flow. Know your risks and prevent #MVD before it happens. #biom4180

Check out my group's youtube video: Should I be using Aspirin to prevent a heart attack? #biom4180

Take a moment to read the advice from our senior cardiac nurse on #coronavirus and what it means if you have a heart or circulatory condition. https://t.co/Qxc6Wc6how

Ain't that the truth

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

@CardiologyGaby You're right. If nothing else, putting up with me has definetly made you stronger. And immune to annoyance.

Here's a great video displaying the misunderstanding around the presentation of a heart attack. #biom4180

We all know what a someone experiencing a heart attack looks like, right? #biom4180

[Gaby Oueidat @CardiologyGaby]

These classic cases of the "hollywood heart attack" represent may people's ideas of how heart attacks genuinely present. Some MI's may result in these dramatic events, however most present w/ milder symptoms that everyone should recognize. #biom4180

@Elie_kayz I understand that these drugs increase ACE2 which is the enzyme #COVID19 binds to. Conversely, ACE2 upregulation also leads to a reduction in fibrosis of lung tissue, ultimately reducing risk of permanently damaged tissue. #biom4180
Here's some proof:

Always discuss with a physician prior to beginning a new medication. Aspirin may be beneficial in reducing blood clotting, however in individuals with a low risk of CVD, Aspirin therapy can instead lead to GI toxicity or haemorrhage. #biom4180 https://t.co/1CMaQe6e9c

New guidelines advise against taking Aspirin to prevent heart disease or first stroke #biom4180 https://t.co/6ytiBxJlBz

Lecture 16- SEX in #biom4180 is the saddest lectures I’ve listened to as a women 😓 If you’ve listened to the lecture - what surprised you & why?

[Gaby Oueidat @CardiologyGaby]

@bajwa_jasmit The experience of pain is deeply subjective. A friend and I have been discussing why women may experience symptoms differently than men... could it be because of a higher pain tolerance? periods, pregnancies, birth, menopause, putting up with men... #biom4180

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

@CardiologyGaby Another student posted about using gene sequencing to assess risk of CVD to encourage proactive rather than reactive approaches to care and your tweet here made me think of that! This could help many people with rare genetic diseases everywhere #biom4180 https://t.co/NrVLnrJb0o

Patients with hypertension and diabetes over-express ACE2, therefore must be treated with ACE inhibitors. It is hypothesized that these patients are at increased risk for developing COVID-19. #biom4180 https://t.co/JLmzzOpEig

FDA Issues Statement Regarding NSAID Use and COVID-19. Be weary of taking advil and ibuprofen during this time... NSAIDs increase the enzyme, ACE2, which is the target for the novel coronavirus. #biom4180 https://t.co/ExxETzE9od
