With all this free time on our hands, catching up on sleep should be a priority. According to this article, less than 7 hours of sleep a day can increase the likelihood of a cardiovascular event from occuring! Find out the mechanism behind it. #biom4180 https://t.co/IFbci0CaIm

Meditation has been around for thousands of years, and is widely known to have many positive health benefits like lower blood pressure and reducing stress. This study shows that all it takes is 15 minutes of your day 🙏🏼 #biom4180 https://t.co/lJx1mden2U

We all hear about how altitude training is beneficial for athletes, but what exactly happens to the physiology of the heart and cardiovascular system during these periods of slight oxygen deprivation? #biom4180 https://t.co/uXQnWdr70W

Researchers at the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) are in the early stages of colour-coated doppler imaging, blood flow imaging in echocardiography, and 3-D echocardiography technology. Check out this video to see! #biom4180 https://t.co/1paIom8W9G

Hugging/cuddling someone we care about has more health benefits than we think. A genuine hug signals the release of the hormone oxytocin to ease stress by lowering cortisol levels! Destress and go give someone you care about some love 🤗 #biom4180 https://t.co/8wwmyei4bP

@CardiologyGaby His profile stated "stable coronary heart disease" and definitely played a role. His dosage (90mg) was 10x more than in an average joint (~7mg). The article reported an overstimulation of SNS due to a hallucinogenic experience, leading to cardiac arrest #biom4180

People who argue it is nearly impossible to overdose on marijuana need to get off their HIGH-horse . Recent case of an elderly man who experienced heart complications after ingesting a potent marijuana edible.🍪 #biom4180 https://t.co/Qo2tFxA0dQ

@davooooo2 Sun exposure is actually linked with decreased blood pressure, and several other markers of cardiovascular health☀️so if I were you, I would study my #biom4180 notes on the sunniest beach I can find! https://t.co/vVlBasAvv3

Science supports that being outside improves overall cardiovascular health. So don't study too hard, and make sure you throw at least one snow ball this reading week (for your heart health) 🤍🌲 ☃️#biom4180 https://t.co/Brc6i2FQpF

We talked about the slightly decreased accuracy of wearable devices when measuring HR. This article states that a person's resting HR can vary as much as 70 beats when measured by these devices. Possibly? or maybe just consistently inaccurate? 🤔 #biom4180 https://t.co/Y7d8bot27c

@CardiologyGaby @THR Turns out adrenaline is the most common stress hormone released during BHS! Then why does heartbreak make us lethargic rather than energized? Wouldn't this increase cardiac output? #biom4180 ://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/takotsubo-cardiomyopathy-broken-heart-syndrome

Very controversial topic in the media is the ketogenic diet. Although this diet shows some short-term promise for weight loss and treatment for T2D, some long term studies should be further investigated! 🥑🧀 #Biom4180 https://t.co/7PJiEtFbyo via @PennMedicine
