New science technology!! The Kardia Band, which attaches to a smartwatch, can be used to identify atrial fibrillation. The app was able to correctly detect 93% of abnormal heart rhythms! #biom4180 https://t.co/MzlZBfTmcW
So proud to see all my little #biom4180 students all grown up and ready to leave! Their brains full of #cardiology knowledge, and their souls just a little bit darker & more cynical from all that exposure to Twitter. I'm counting it as #ExperientialLearning. #reallife#harsh
SPOTTED: @glenpyle before the last #BIOM4180 midterm. Is he plotting our diabolical end? Will this last midterm lead to my own personal heart failure? Stay tuned to find out.
This is an amazing step forward for heart failure patients! Encouraging social and physical activities can improve the quality of life for these individuals. #biom4180 https://t.co/hWwv5BmlTt
In between studying for upcoming exams and todays #biom4180 midterm, make sure to take a break, stretch your legs and go for a walk!🏃♀️ https://t.co/Z9f948mPy7
Arnold Schwarzenegger's aortic valve had to be initially replaced because he was born with a bicuspid aortic valve instead of a regular tricuspid causing stenosis. Glad to say I know what those words mean because of #biom4180! Good to see The Terminator making a full recovery!
This is for all the #tea lovers! Study shows that it is better for your cardiovascular system to drink #YerbaMate tea cold rather than hot. Iced tea induces "greater thermogenesis and fat oxidation while decreasing cardiac load" #biom4180#iceicebaby https://t.co/4JaW9XINHa
Another example of how #mentalhealth and #hearthealth go hand in hand. Patients with persistent anxiety were at 5 times the risk of developing complications following acute coronary syndrome. #biom4180 https://t.co/tXa0YvvT9Q
So cool to think that the field we're covering in class is constantly evolving and improving! Reminds me that we never stop learning #biom4180 https://t.co/gCecjWdWLE
Bad news for milkshake enthusiasts. Apparently they can provide a favorable environment for heart disease! Researchers found that after drinking a milkshake, the RBCs of healthy males looked spiky and smaller, which is bad for blood vessels. #biom4180 https://t.co/66iedwX0FR
"The risk of stroke from using contraception is very low but some types of hormone-based contraception, such as the pill, have an increased risk." #biom4180 https://t.co/btmhxzPb8k
Cute illustration to explain the pathophysiology of HF! Did you know that HF affects ~ 600,000 Canadians & the death rate is 6 times higher among adults age 40+ with diagnosed HF compared to those without?! Stats from Gov of 🇨🇦 #BIOM4180
We tend to focus on prevention through eating healthy foods but sugary drinks can also be the culprit of heart disease! #CountYourCubes#biom4180 https://t.co/rwURgL6J1f
RT @TheHSF Sugary drinks and excess sugar consumption are associated with chronic diseases including heart disease, stroke and obesity. Sign up for the four-week #CountYourCubes challenge to track and reduce your intake of sugary drinks. https://t.co/mjrzvo0O9z
Think because your a university student having a stroke doesn't affect you? Think again. Stress, unhealthy diet, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can put you at risk. Prevention is key. #biom4180#prevention https://t.co/bOFiDTSuKV
Using low-cal sweeteners seems to be a good choice, right? Maybe not for your CV system! This meta-analysis showed using sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose, was associated with a higher incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular events #biom4180 https://t.co/B0ZkSvsZEd
