Really important article out early: discrimination towards physicians of colour.
Discrimination was associated with adverse effects on career, work environment, and health. 1/

It turns out there's some interesting biomarkers for atrial fibrillation risk following transient ischemic attacks ... Including coronary artery calcium and brain natriuretic peptide #biom4180

Good. I consider all coffee slander an attack against my person so I'm glad that isn't the case here #biom4180

Try telling this to a keto nut 🙃 they'd rather eat a brick of cream cheese than a strawberry. That's not how health works!!! #biom4180

Anyone ever go on a low-carb diet? LISTEN UP! People getting a low proportion of their daily calories from carbohydrates such as grains, fruits & vegetables are significantly more likely to develop atrial fibrillation, according to a study! #biom4180 https://t.co/B7Zbc82p2a

Amazing how many "side-effects" a pandemic can have. I wonder how many people have suffered from other health conditions due to it (lack of supplies/care, anxiety over seeking healthcare, general stress, etcetc).

Due to COVID-19, many people are avoiding the hospital in fear of the virus yet it can cause more harm if you have a serious condition. If you suspect you are having a heart attack still visit the hospital! Keep your heart healthy in these times! #biom4180 https://t.co/qFGGeWSuuO

A cohort study of 1514 men and 1528 women from Greece found that higher #vitamin D intake is linked with a reduced risk of #cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes. Make sure to consume foods rich in vitamin D during #quarantine! #biom4180

This twitter assignment is dangerous. The number of times I've almost tweeted something on this account that was meant for my personal account is astronomical. I really don't need Dr. Pyle grading me based on tweets about video games and being hungry all the time 😅😂

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

From the article:

"Researchers found that compared to non-owners, dog owners experienced a:

24% reduced risk of all-cause mortality;
65% reduced risk of mortality after a heart attack; and
31% reduced risk of mortality due to cardiovascular-related issues." #biom4180

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

Some happy news in the dreary COVID mess that is all of our newsfeeds right now... Dog ownership has been significantly correlated with increased lifespan, especially following MI or stroke. Keep your furry friends close :) #biom4180 https://t.co/gZMx5O3674

For the last 4 years, my stress levels haven't exactly been my choice. I'll make sure to keep this in mind going forward though! 😂 #biom4180

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

Recently, in my endocrinology class, I did a presentation on the positive effects of phytoestrogen consumption. One such effect was reducing the risk of CVD and improving overall heart health. Here's a cool article explaining how! :D #biom4180 https://t.co/omxo3afxxh

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

We already know COVID-19 and the heart are linked... upcoming clinical studies are looking to take advantage of this, using anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory drugs to help reduce mortality in patients on ventilators #biom4180 https://t.co/uaVuOP7vmS

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

CVD patients suffer disproportionately from the effects of other health issues. For example, HF patients with anemia have higher mortality during some surgeries. Treating conditions secondary to HF may then improve prognosis' for these patients! #biom4180

I love this! It looks so good and gets all the information across in a really readable way :D awesome job Nadia! #biom4180

[Nadia Cartwright @NadiaCartwrigh2]

What's the DEALL with coronary artery disease? Does Exercise Alleviate Lipid Load?

Checkout my infographic for all the details. #biom4180

Kounis Syndrome occurs when cardiovascular complications co-present with hypersensitivity reactions. While diagnosis is rare, many doctors believe it is far more frequent than reported. Take a look at my infographic to learn more about this neat disorder! #biom4180

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

this definitely reads like a @glenpyle tweet #biom4180

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

This is somewhere between fascinating and nightmare fuel. Definitely more towards fascinating though... Thanks for sharing!! #biom4180

[Sarah Campbell @SCampbellCardio]

We mostly focus on human cardiology, but I came across this article and animal hearts are so cool too! Did you know there are species with multiple chambers in their hearts? Different amounts of hearts? No hearts? Can regrow hearts? 😯🐠🦟🐸🐛🐋 #biom4180 https://t.co/vIMMJuYHgK

[Austin Robertson @GlenPyleFanpage]

I've read a lot of news about how some CVD drugs can make COVID-19 more lethal. I think it's important to note that despite this, not taking your medication is possibly considerably more so. Continue your medication as we wait for trial results! #biom4180

The last two weeks have been a strange ten years.
