If you ever needed more convincing to move to a warmer climate with more sunshine this is the study for you. Lower air temperature and lower sunshine duration are associated with an increased myocardial infarct risk.#BIOM4180

As we enter the impending doom that is finals season, stress will be at an all time high. It's important to take breaks not only for your mental health but your heart health as well. #Biom4180 #exams #StressAwarenessMonth https://t.co/TTJPO1UZuq

This is a link to an ongoing study looking at the effects of depression on the brains control of blood pressure. This further exemplifies what was examined in class and how information on mental health and CVD risk is still being discovered! #BIOM4180 https://t.co/RDd7QprxVJ

In lieu of the impending final unit test in #biom4180 here's a study looking at how exam stress affects heart rate variability during test taking.

More intra-speciality training is needed between endocrinologists and cardiologists. A recent study found cardiologists seem more cases of type 2 diabetes than endocrinologists. Its time to collaborate between the fields more heavily.#biom4180

In this era of personalized medicine, novel therapies for myocardial infarctions and plaque formation are coming to a lab near you. Targetting of the immune system and its role in inflammation is on the forefront for novel therapies! #biom4180

Thanks to #biom4180 and @glenpyle I can finally read ECGs and understand that this is WPW!! Characteristic delta wave and short PR interval!

Here's a great #ECG of a young lady who presented to the ER with episodes of chest pain, dizziness, and feeling a "black cloud coming over my vision."

What's the diagnosis?

A recent well-established concept is that the brain and heart are closely connected when it comes to health. An example is depression in those with coronary heart disease. Well, now there might be a causal link for this! #biom4180 #CHD

In honour of #NationalPuppyDay having a puppy in your life may help your heart! Several studies have shown having a dog conferred lower blood pressure when compared to those without dogs. As well as lower risk of CVD! #biom4180

The biggest news out of #ACC19 this past weekend was the finding that patients receiving a minimally invasive aortic valve did as well as those who had surgery. This will truly change the way we treat aortic stenosis and is great for our patients! https://t.co/htACKwm7im

N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide alongside growth differentiation factor 15 may be novel biomarkers for acute cardiac events. A large cohort study has found they were associated with such events as heart failure. #biomarkers #biom4180

A recent study published this march showcased misdiagnosis of myocardial injury as type-2 myocardial infarcts. 42% of cases were actually myocardial injury. Does this call for better biomarkers in clinics?#biom4180

Interesting paper from August of 2018 talking about the interaction between cholesterol and the immune system. Cholesterol accumulation appears to cause inflammasome production leading to neutrophil accumulation contributing to plaque formation! #Biom4180

Millions of people every year go to the emergency room with chest pains. However, this doesn't mean a heart attack necessarily. A current study has shown that calcium in the coronary arteries may be a novel biomarker for heart attacks. #BIOM4180

Middle age and older woman should be cautious around their fried food intake. A study fron January 2019 has found an increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiac related death in those who consumed fried food freqeuntly. #BIOM4180

Despite recent failures of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in clinical trials for cardiovascular events, a derivative shows some promise. A 2019 study showed a cardiovascular benefit without targetting LDL-cholesterol. #biom4180

As an avid napper myself I'm glad to hear that they may be more beneficial than just for giving an energy boost midday. A 2019 study has found that napping was able to lower blood pressure. Another reason to feel less guilty about a midday nap. #BIOM4180

For all those avid coffee connoisseurs out there, you now have an excuse for your addiction! Moderate coffee consumption of about 3-5 coffees a day was linked to a lower risk of #CVD. So keep the coffee coming. #Coffeeaddict #biom4180
