@lilyymeng I also found some research that indicates that women with CVD are also predisposed to experience more depressive symptoms than men! #biom4180

Thank you for sharing!

Other eating disorders like anorexia and binge eating disorder can also affect the heart. Structural and Hemodynamic changes caused by eating disorders can cause numerous detrimental effects! #biom4180

With summer☀️ comes #dietculture & I despise it.

Women with #bulimia are at an ⬆️ risk for arrhythmias.
Women with a history of bulimia appear to be at an ⬆️risk for #cardiovasculardisease.

Let this be a reminder to #BeKind to your body. #biom4180

I found this article that discusses shift work and its effects on CVD! Your tweet got me interested in the topic, but it looks like shift work could increase the risk of CVD for multiple reasons! #biom4180

@yelirtnarg Wow, what an interesting finding! 😮 this takes me back to BIOL 1080 and learning about the ⬆️ presence of #psoriasis in shift workers. Perhaps these individuals are at a greater risk for #CVD as well! #biom4180 https://t.co/aKFoFbAMDf

Can your #oralhealth🪥🦷 impact your cardiovascular health🫀? Researcher shows that #periodontitis, severe gum disease, is associated with elevated blood pressure (or #hypertension). Another good reason to brush your teeth! #biom4180

Can stress lead to a broken heart? This recent retrospective case-control study looked at brain activity and stress mechanisms that could contribute to Takotsubo Syndrome. #biom4180 #Cardiology

Yet another reason we should be taking better care of our planet. This research article proposes that the increased NO2 could be contributing to increased cardiovascular and respiratory mortality. 🌍🫀#biom4180 #ClimateAction

The #immunesystem🧫 plays a huge role in atherosclerosis and its progression to #CVD 🫀

Immune cells develop 'trained immunity', where they contribute to a pro-inflammatory state🔥 within vessels and plays a huge role in mediating the disease #biom4180

This interesting study looked at the effects of congenital heart disease and found that those with CVD showed less neurodevelopment and growth after 2 years. I wonder if effects would still be prevalent long term? 🤔 #biom4180 https://t.co/b6NDMpba5L

[Birute Banyte @banyte]

We know that a number of factors are associated with ⬆️cardiovascular disease, but this study found that vital exhaustion in men could increase the risk of myocardial infarction! Make sure you're getting the appropriate rest. #biom4180

While #InternationalWomensDay may be over, our conversations on women and CVD🫀cannot be.

Women with migraines with aura🧠whom take combined hormonal contraceptives were found to be at an ⬆️ risk of ischemic stroke by 6 times! Read more below! #biom4180

What would happen to your heart if there was literally ice in your veins🥶🥶🥶? You'd suffer from hypothermia and experience #bradycardia and #arrhythmia before dying of cardiac arrest! Don't tell everyone involved in the current tiktok trend 😂 https://t.co/OwiTidOtqb #biom4180

Myocardial Infarction is seen by the clenching of the chest, shortness of breath & others. What about Silent Myocardial Infarctions (SMI)? SMI are misinterpreted warning signs, which must be understood to reduce other attacks and/or death.🫀 #biom4180 https://t.co/AoTjRKLFGE
