How much do you know about the world’s leading cause of cardiovascular mortality? Take a read to increase your awareness on CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, your heart will thank you !

@ShaniaRUofG Hmmm, interesting article ! I wonder if because of this and future studies around the health benefits of chocolate, that we will start to see more emphasis on "cocoa flavonoid content" on chocolate bar labels? #biom4180

According to researchers, the commonly used sodium nitrate administered by paramedics following out-of-hospital cardiac arrests proves to be ineffective at increasing survival to hospital admission rates! #biom4180

Do you find music relaxing? Did you know that listening to music following a heart attack decreases the SNS, lowers anxiety, pain sensation and has been found to decrease the risk of recurrent cardiac episodes ? #musicislife #musicismedicine #biom4180 🎼

@UoG_DavidZhao Interesting study , I wonder is these results relate to the physical baths themselves or more relate to the importance of relaxation to maintain optimal cardiac health? #biom4180

It's amazing what knowledgable doctors and researchers can do to save the lives of others through the development of a few biomaterials! The success of this gel treatment may influence development of other cardiac repair material in the future as well. #biom4180

[Brooke Evans @brooke_cardio]

@Iqrasha81203281 Such interesting research that really advances treatment for heart failure patients ! I wonder how long this biomaterial lasts in the body, or if it deteriorates over time and needs to be administered repeatedly? #biom4180

Did you know common oral anti-coagulants, like warfarin, actually interfere with vitamin K dependant processes, further impairing bone mineralization? According to study results, non-oral anticoagulants are a better option for HF patients. #biom4180

Interesting research findings regarding the effects of traffic noise and CVD along with Diabetes. Researchers hypothesize woman to be more common victims of this event possibly due to menopausal effects. #biom4180

I think I missed “Mcfarction” in my lecture notes 🤔

According to this study , the commonly used Rivaroxiban to treat atrial fib patients can have severe side effects. Apixaban, which has a lower rate of ischemic stroke and overall bleeding , was found to be a better treatment option. #Biom4180

Antihypertensive and statin medications are a common primary prevention technique for CVD, but do patients on these medications tend to lead a life-style that could be detrimental to their cardiac health? #biom4180

[Brooke Evans @brooke_cardio]

This is a popular topic lately! But like this article points out, scientists are still looking for that direct correlation between oral health and CVD. I wonder if specific foods could lead to build up of specific bacteria in the gums leading to greater risk of CVD? #biom4180

[Anthony Torresin @AnthonyTorresin]

For all you with a sweet tooth, there is an apparent correlation between oral hygiene and CVD! That doesn't mean don't have that slice of cake, just make sure you brush your teeth afterwards 😁🍰 #biom4180 https://t.co/C2kESOU6OP

This study found 56% of pediatric heart failure patients had an iron deficiency and spent more time in hospital settings with higher risk of death. Maybe children's iron levels could be monitored more closely to prevent these conditions? #biom4180

Researchers discover intense LDL-c reduction in patients following coronary bypass graft surgery can decrease all-cause mortality, especially cardiovascular mortality. #biom4180

@AnthonyTorresin This is a serious issue and messages like these need to be shared with all marijuana users! Do you think the man's previous heart condition played a significant role into his reaction to the dose of marijuana? Could a healthy person experience the same symptoms with this dose?

[Brooke Evans @brooke_cardio]

@sidra_noorzad I'm not too sure! I guess it depends if the anti-oxidant pigment in the onion, "quercetin" becomes inactive when heated and maybe preventing it's function of decreasing bp? That would be an interesting study though!

[Brooke Evans @brooke_cardio]

Who knew eating onions could contribute to prevention of CVD? Researchers claim the reduction in 10 mm Hg of blood pressure can decrease CVD by 50%.. and quercetin in onions can account for about 5 mm Hg of this ! #biom4180

Interesting study analyzing patients who have been hospitalized with heart failure and their risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) several decades later. Did YOU know heart failure could cause VTE? #biom4180

[Brooke Evans @brooke_cardio]

High protein diets contribute to increase arterial plaque build up and overall CVD! It’s important to monitor the amount of protein powder we put in our shakes, as we could be contributing to a “macrophage graveyard “ leading to heart disease! #biom4180
