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

Gut microbiome changes in aging mice have found to have elevated levels of the metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide that increases the risk heart attack and stroke. Targeting these changes holds promise for reducing cardiovascular risk with aging #biom4180

Ever wondered about the effects the air quality has on your CV health? Turns out in Canada around 14,400 deaths occur per year as a result of pollution! The toxins that are found in the air enter the lungs and then into the CV system. #biom4180

As important as it is to unwind, it's important that we are mindful of how we do this. A study has found that people in the high-watching TV group were at a higher risk for hypertension and diabetes #biom4180 #netflix https://t.co/IoQBrqv9Sx

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 Really interesting article! It highlights the importance of oral health in a way we might not think about. Do the consequences of mouthwash outweigh the benefits? #biom4180

[DRoq @DRoq11]

@MarcineSara This is interesting! But is this effect counteracted when individuals nap and miss out on a good night's sleep? Some studies found that disrupted sleep caused blood vessel damage in mice. Here's the link to read more: #biom4180 https://t.co/LegAPphq4C

In class we discussed the effects of energy drinks on heart health and as finals approach, it's important to realize that these effects are exacerbated with lack of sleep while cramming! Remember to take care of yourself first! #biom4180 https://t.co/exPp9tTdPJ

Researchers found that the gut microflora in response to high fat diets in aged mice triggered the development of a system-wide non-resolving inflammation and changes in the immune cell profile that is associated with heart failure (2/2) #biom4180

[DRoq @DRoq11]

The effects of a high-fat diet on coronary artery disease is well documented but its effects on the gut microflora can also be detrimental to heart health (1/2) #biom4180 https://t.co/D6XAsd5PV3

The heart is more powerful than you think! Engineers have developed a device that converts the kinetic energy of the heart and translates into electricity for implantable devices #biom4180 https://t.co/mmoruI3TF2

[DRoq @DRoq11]

The presence of significant others or even the thought of them can regulate your body's cardiovascular response to stressful situations. In light of #bellletstalk seeking help in others is not only important for our mental health but heart health #biom4180 https://t.co/1B112wKv7f

Think you're too busy to exercise? Try taking the stairs. https://t.co/NbAmnq45XJ

A new study suggests that patients who see detailed pictures of their clogged arteries may be more likely to stay healthy than those who do not. Makes sense since atherosclerosis is a silent killer! #SeeingISbelieving #ApictureIsWortha1000words #biom4180

Ever find yourself wishing for peace and quiet during your commute? Turns out your heart might feel the same way... A Swiss study identified that noise and air pollution have an additive effect in elevating your risk of cardiovascular disease #biom4180 https://t.co/n6cdtqE3JY

Recommendations in the Food Guide should be rooted in current scientific research in order to take a step towards a reliable healthy lifestyle... and that extra piece of cheese. #indulge #health #biom4180

[DRoq @DRoq11]

Doctors throughout the country are joining together in an effort to change the way Canadians eat by lobbying to change the Food Guide suggestions. Eating a high carb and low fat diet like the guide suggests does not support a healthy heart. #biom4180 https://t.co/o0D2J0NoPJ

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is the failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth and accounts for 5-10% of heart defects in infants. Recently, the FDA has approved the world's first device for treatment of PDA in premature babies. #biom4180 https://t.co/M2iZpdINXq

Both direct (real-time information) and indirect (historical data) feedback measures have been proven to influence human behaviours. This can be applied to those wearing a fitness tracker #makeitacompetition #withyourself #improvements #biom4180

[CardioSmart @CardioSmart]

Americans wearing a fitness tracker took more than 26 trillion steps in 2018! Walking more has been shown to help lower #heartdisease risk. @washingtonpost https://t.co/Xn6193Tpg1

A new study found that getting less than 6hrs of sleep increases your risk of atherosclerosis. Considered "the first study of its kind" with intriguing evidence for an independent relationship between sleep & atherosclerosis throughout the body. #biom4180 https://t.co/TP100DCxez
