Concerned about the risk of #BloodClots with the #COVID19 vaccine? It turns out, the math doesn't add up.

Check out the latest science in my @TorontoStar opinion piece.

Then get a vaccine as soon as it is offered.

Pathologic ❤ murmurs are often difficult to detect, though this study demonstrates promise for AI-assisted auscultation #AIAA 👨‍💻 to distinguish between innocent and pathologic murmurs, with an 88% accuracy in detecting pathologic cases! #biom4180 https://t.co/v0JtuqcpCp

Did you know that being #sleep deprived (< 6 hrs of sleep) ⬆️ heart attack risk by 20%? The non-REM stage of sleep is particularly important for cardiac recovery from all the day's #stress! Please get enough sleep. Your ❤️will say thank you. 😁#biom4180

[Guire Coyle @GuireCoyle]

Studies have also linked #Irisin expression to exercise, suggesting that it may play an important role in the many beneficial effects of #excercise on #HeartHealth!

Think this could lead to #HF therapies with a focus on #lifestyle changes?

#CardiacRemodeling 🫀occurs from changes in myocyte structure & can lead to #HF. A new study examined the effects of a protein hormone called #Irisin in rats & found that it ⬇️ the apoptotic rate (TUNEL pos %) of myocytes, among many outcomes #biom4180

Did you know that #noisepollution has been linked to a ⬆️ risk of #heartproblems?

Exposure to loud noise causes a "fight-or-flight" response in your body. This can trigger harmful #inflammation in the lining of blood vessels, leading to disease! #biom4180

Could 3D printed heart tissue be an answer for the debilitating effects of a #heartattack?

Research being done @usask shows promise in formulating effective "bio-ink" used to #3Dprint cardiac cell frameworks used to repair damaged 🫀 muscle!

[Guire Coyle @GuireCoyle]

After an exhaustive safety review @EMA_News, Europe's medical watchdog, concluded that there is no evidence the #AstraZeneca vaccine increases #bloodclotting or poses a risk to #HeartHealth, hopefully putting recent widespread concerns to rest!

@guevara_mann Talking about #restingHR is super important! Especially for those who fear that theirs is too fast. Luckily, an ⬆️ HR isn't always a cause for concern. There are many contributing factors to HR, including age! Mine usually sits the in mid 50s ☺️ #BIOM4180 https://t.co/lSgccctOik

Did you #biom4180 students know that the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (#AF) in athletes🏃🏽‍♂️ is 2-10 times greater than in the general population?
AF reduces the ability to exercise in athletes and could lead to the development of a blood clot #biom4180

Your favourite medical drama may be more accurate than you think! A precordial thump, or striking a patient's chest with a fist, is a real procedure to attempt #ROSC in #CardiacArrest. However, recent evidence shows it may do more harm then good #biom4180 https://t.co/0ATHUYNTey

[Phoebe @Phoebe_UWO]

It's #InternationalWomensDay 💗 Let's remember the amazing women who made monumental contributions to the field of cardiology. Dr. Helen Taussig, "the founder of pediatric cardiology", is responsible for the treatment of blue 👶 syndrome today. #BIOM4180 https://t.co/cFBBNclOtp

[Guire Coyle @GuireCoyle]

Could a 🫀 transplant help more than your heart? Poor circulation has been linked to decreases in memory, with post-operative heart transplant patients showing significant recovery! A great illustration of how #HeartHealth is key in every system #biom4180

[Guire Coyle @GuireCoyle]

“Time is muscle” is a common and apt saying for prehospital care of #HeartAttack patients. Luckily advances in diagnostic #biomarkers could allow blood drawn in ambulances to expedite hospital triage and get patients treatment faster, improving outcomes https://t.co/Rq5IEMoHed

[Stephanie Ouzikov @StephanieOuz]

A meta-analysis conducted by @nyulangone found that 1 out of 4 patients with panic disorder had a mitral valve prolapse

This finding shows the importance for those with PD to get tested for MVP to prevent serious cardiac complications

@Dannyd99_ great point! The above study didn’t find the same negative impacts in those not getting enough sleep (<6h) at night, so your totally right! The catch up naps may be home free! Great news for late night procrastinators everywhere #biom4180

[Guire Coyle @GuireCoyle]

Does anyone else find themselves napping more while working from home due to #COVID19? Research may suggest kicking this habit! In those sleeping >6h a night, napping was associated with negative #cardiovascular outcomes. Bad news for afternoon💤

Covid-19 has caused many individuals to spend a lot more time sitting. However, sitting for 8.5 hours or more per day showed a 54% increased risk of heart failure in females. Reminding us of how important it is to stay active even in these unprecedented times! #biom4180
