@GundeepB An other thing that I've read about is the use of virtual reality in practicing and planning for surgeries. For example, VR can also give 3D models and help surgeons approach aneurysms. Ultimately, VR could help reduce mistakes #biom4180

@GundeepB Interesting find. I never would have associated jaw pain with a heart attack. I wonder if maybe it could be due to a possible comorbidity. #biom4180

@VanGoghsEar5 I wonder what factors contributed to the speed of care. Time from home to hospital, new treatments, etc. #biom4180

Ever wonder why heart cancer is rare? Interesting news article I found that explores why the heart isn't vulnerable to cancer. #biom4180

@GundeepB It seems like patients don't take them because they're scared of the side effects. Some patients also report that they were not offered statins by their physicians #biom4180

@GundeepB Interesting article. I wonder how prevalent this is in India, since 9 out of the 10 most polluted cities are located in India #biom4180

We learned in #biom4180 caffeine can cause arrhythmias but did you know the coffee may also be involved in reducing the risk of heart failure and stroke?

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

Coffee is a must on a Monday morning. But did you know a little pick-me-up may bring down your risk of stroke? Go ahead and pour a second cup. https://t.co/fQzfFb81rS

Remember when talked about heart valves in #biom4180? Researchers at UBC Okanagan have created a new synthetic heart valve using plastic like materials that feels like tissue. This valve reduces the risk of open heart surgery as only a tiny incision is needed for the catheter

@ChristinaDiCar1 That's very interesting. It gives another reason to avoid these risk factors and have have healthy lifestyle. #biom4180

Did you ever stop and think about the effect over the counter cold and flu medications can have on your heart? NSAIDs and decongestants can have negative effects on your cardiovascular health. #biom4180

Dihydropyridines are commonly used to treat hypertension, but high doses will inhibit L-type calcium channels in the heart and can lead to arrhythmias https://t.co/nzJv4GtVdV #biom4180

Remember when low doses of aspirin were recommended to prevent heart attacks? Well, this is no longer the case as aspirin can increase the risks for internal bleeding. #biom4180

@GundeepB If I recall correctly, soda can cause arrhythmias by increasing K+ excretion. I wonder how it can contribute to cancers. #biom4180

[Harmun @Harmun6]

@aariez_k I agree further studies are required. However, the researchers did try to control for confounders like sex, lifestyle factors, BMI and the number of drugs being taken. #biom4180

Can someone with high BP have a lower mortality risk than those in the normal range? This study shows that antihypertensive patients with a BP <140/90 mmHg had a 61% higher risk of death compared to those with high BP. The researchers advocate personalized treatments #biom4180
