So glad I had them as group mates for this #biom4180 project. Crazy to think this was my last undergrad project, I’m so grateful it was with these wonderful people 💕

@Solimanm4180 I wonder if the pathway that causes this could be related to stress? #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

I'm not sure if they already have warning labels because I haven't bought one in years, but if they don't, they should have a toxic limit warning! For example, a label that suggests only one can/day! #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

Energy drinks have been linked with long QT syndrome, ventricular arrhythmias, and numerous other CV hazards. Months ago, I posted an article about a guy who wanted to raise the legal age to buy ED's to 18. Do you think this is a good idea? #biom4180 https://t.co/5kLKcpxXDd

Another point to add, it also increases your risk for developing T2D's which is a well known risk factor for CVD as it progresses the development of atherosclerosis #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

1/10 Americans have added sugar as 25% of their caloric intake! This leads to an increased risk of CVD, regardless of obese status. It's hypothesized that sugar increases BP and causes the liver to release more fat into the bloodstream #biom4180 https://t.co/owxBQGw1C0

[amberuog @amberuog]

Male alopecia + premature greying hair has been shown to be associated with a 5x increased risk of developing CVD! This is not a causation, but possibly a reason to schedule a doctors visit to check out your BP and other potential risk factors! https://t.co/6Y8Q73g8Kq #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

@Hsaeed97 @bajwa_jasmit Yes! I try to study outside to get those sun rays but I get too cold after a couple of minutes. I’ll just stick to my vitamin D pills 😛 #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

@bajwa_jasmit Very interesting and important research! Unfortunately, some people read this and assume that daily intake of aspirin will reduce their risk of CVD even when they are presented with no risk. Talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you!! #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

An interesting look at how inflammation plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis. Obesity is well known for chronic inflammation so there's no surprise why obesity presents as a risk factor for CVD https://t.co/DWjhHSiYGg #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

#Meditation helps reduce CVD risk by providing a healthy output to deal with and manage stress. I'm sure we are all dealing with extra stress right now, so meditation may be worth trying! https://t.co/aJ3fpOSBGr #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

Another reason to get those #Zzz's. Not getting enough sleep leads to less hypocretin secretion from the hypothalamus. Hypocretin helps control inflammatory WBC's that would worsen atherosclerosis! https://t.co/wBGAYxNLTy #biom4180

@MolinariJocelyn I love the organization of your #biom4180 infographic! Looks amazing

[amberuog @amberuog]

@bajwa_jasmit I was thinking that the atherosclerosis persists even after the decrease in BP! The damage could already have been done and further treatment (e.g., angioplasty) need to be done? #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

@bajwa_jasmit Agreed! The rate of diabetes is increasing at such a scary rate. Acknowledging the morbidities associated with it will only get more important #biom4180

[amberuog @amberuog]

Ever feel pain in your chest while exercising or during times of stress? You may be suffering from #anginapectoris. Pain during exercise isn't always a made-up excuse to avoid it! Check out my #biom4180 infographic to see how it develops and the role diabetes plays #feeltheburn

[amberuog @amberuog]

A little more relevant a couple months ago, but check out this article to see how colder weather impacts CVD risk and how to prevent this risk. Fun fact: people with CHD are more likely to suffer from angina pectoris in the colder weather! #biom4180 https://t.co/rFpyraQoh0

[amberuog @amberuog]

@CardiologyJulia This highlights the importance of personalized heart monitoring. Guidelines for one may not apply for all! Also interesting to see the seasonal trends in heart rate. Higher in post-Christmas January and decreased in sunny July (I'm not surprised)! #biom4180
