@slee36cardio Still waiting on this release for Canada 😩

Using advanced imaging technology, we can now see inflammation in arteries before hardening, a possible tool for early detection of atherosclerosis. Yay for advancements in technology! https://t.co/atkMWVUiee #biom4180

@aortaandy @GuelphYB It looks like something from Alien 👽. I wonder what post recovery looks like for him, and if there was any permanent damage. #biom4180

Most moms know to be #SmokeFree during #pregnancy, but did you know that the father-to-be should quit as well? The secondhand smoke due to paternal smoking also has associations with congenital heart defects. It's best to quit before conceiving #biom4180 https://t.co/PcTmAwaZjq

It is becoming more and more apparent that atherosclerosis can begin during childhood and progress over time. Therefore, prevention early on is key to a healthy, happy life. #biom4180 ❤️https://t.co/5uvBgIFbct

Did you know that angina or heart attack-like symptoms can be triggered by an allergic reaction?! Kounis syndrome can be caused by insect stings, drugs and even drug-eluting stents. Something to consider when treating patients! #biom4180

Having a pet can also reduce stress levels, which is GREAT for your heart health. #biom4180

If left untreated, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can regress to dilated cardiomyopathy. So, you want to treat this condition before it gets worse. Check out this article that treated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with verapamil #biom4180 https://t.co/Lpqll4vHdH

@aortaandy I know! The authors went in depth about the current literature surrounding Kounis syndrome. #biom4180

[Jem @avocardio_1]

@aortaandy I've heard about this disease in dogs but not people! Super interesting. Currently it is only treatable with open-heart surgery, but I wonder if that will change with future research 🧐 #biom4180

[Jem @avocardio_1]

Your birth control may provide more benefits than you think! Some contraceptives may be beneficial for mitigating stroke-induced brain injury. Perhaps with future research, treatments for brain damage after cardiovascular disease can be explored

@BeingessnerJill Great article that compliments what we’ve learnt today in #biom4180. More education to make sex differences in CVD more prevalent is essential for treating these illnesses effectively in both sexes

[Jem @avocardio_1]

@aortaandy Seems promising! I wonder how long it’ll take before they can do some clinical trials 🤔

[Jem @avocardio_1]

@aortaandy Yessss I can justify my chronic napping

[Jem @avocardio_1]

Thank you to @NotSoRAK for taking the time to tell our #biom4180 class about your #heartfailure story! Facts are great, but hearing firsthand about the impact of #organdonation on the lives of the organ donor family and recipient really puts things into perspective. #BeADonor

[Jem @avocardio_1]

@aortaandy I've also found a study that suggests common allergy medications may help treat blood clots in the legs, through similar mechanisms #biom4180 https://t.co/OnG71MAk5z
