Shoutout to the #biom4180 class for keeping me entertained on Twitter all sem, all while learning a thing or two! ๐ค Goodluck to everyone heading into exams, itโs been real โค๏ธ๐ค๐ป๐
Yoga has been found to have many cardiovascular health benefits such as lowering blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood glucose levels, as well as heart rate! If you haven't tried it yet, you should! #exercise#biom4180 https://t.co/dWWxp4rqO9
Super interesting thread! Should noise and pollution be high priority factors considered when choosing where to live in order to protect โค๏ธ health?? #biom4180
@MorgannRollin To add to this thread: It has been recently suggested that this increase in BP isn't just limited to noise, but also air pollution. Fine particles reduce the benefits of attempts to lower BP. The place we choose to live is critical for โค๏ธhealth

Innovative! Heart Health Intelligence has worked to develop a #toilet seat that measures vital #clinical data, such as blood pressure, #heart rate, and cardiac output. It will send out alerts as well. Big applications, but I wonder what's next! #biom4180

Did you know something as simple as a hug can help lower stress hormones and help decrease risk of heart disease? ๐ค Canโt wait for quarantine to be over so I can hug the homies ๐ฅบ๐๐ป๐๐ป #biom4180 https://t.co/ERKRyQ95OC
With Easter just around the corner, you might want to choose dark chocolate as a treat! Studies suggest this chocolate is high in flavonoids, which are associated with lower BP and therefore, overall risk of โค๏ธ disease. ๐ฃ๐ซ๐ #biom4180 https://t.co/zqWkmYB1eT
This course has made me aware of the importance of seeking medical attention early. For that, we need to know the risk factors!

Can you die of a #brokenheart?๐ Also called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, Broken Heart Syndrome is triggered in response to #emotional strain, such as a bad breakup - or even winning the lottery!๐ฏ Think you may be at risk? Check out my #biom4180 infographic to find out more๐๐ป
A study found that people who suffer from migraines have increased risks of stroke and hospital readmission within 30 days after having surgery. The reason is unknown and requires more research! #biom4180 https://t.co/Xcq6c91wAN
We know protein is good for our hearts, but are we getting enough? New research says consuming higher amounts of protein (btwn 58-74 g/day) can help lower your risk of atrial fibrillation and associated cardiovascular issues, like stroke. ๐ฅ๐ฅฆ๐ฅฉ๐ฅ#biom4180 https://t.co/Err0B6F838
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? ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐ #biom4180 https://t.co/vIMMJuYHgK
As the school year still continues during isolation, please stay calm during this time. Studies have shown that stress and anger states increase hormones that cause plaque buildup in arteries. #BIOM4180 https://t.co/l9yqTwD5fu
BUT, over the past few years, new literature on MINOCA has examined this unique syndrome to guide clinicians in caring for such patients. ๐ง๐ฅณ #biom4180
MINOCA - what does that meanโ Myocardial Infarction With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries occurs in 5-6% of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases. ๐ฏ #biom4180 https://t.co/t50RVYvSQ7
It may be difficult to realize that the absence of obstructive coronary arteries does not exclude the possibility of an AMI. So, patients with MINOCA may be inaccurately diagnosed. ๐ฅโ #biom4180
Now that we're at home and not in classes, this heart health recommendation may be a little easier to implement! According to researchers, a daytime nap taken once or twice a week can decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke. #biom4180 ๐ฅฑ
