This study investigated effects of shift work (for which employees are increasing) on the CV system. It was found to have a negative impact on triglyceride breakdown and sugar utilization, both of which affect #CVD risk and #diabetes.

Hypertension medication administered to elderly patients showed up to a 40% reduction in brain lesions within 3 years in this recent study. This suggests these medications can both preserve brain function and reduce cardiovascular events. #Biom4180 https://t.co/JMFvpCPuSm

This is one that affects all of us - be aware of the amount of soda you drink! It has highly detrimental effects on the heart. #Biom4180

New research claims that taking naps during the day appears to lower blood pressure at comparable rates to medications and lifestyle changes already known to achieve the same outcome. That's good enough for me! #Biom4180

Clean teeth or healthy heart? This recent study reports that use of mouthwash twice per day was associated with a notable increase in systolic blood pressure after just one week! #Biom4180

This recent study investigated the association between #A-Fib and risk of developing dementia as people age. Their research shows it is indeed a risk factor, but also claims that taking blood thinners may be effective in decreasing this risk. #Biom4180

I found this particularly interesting, as artificial intelligence is going to be a huge part of our future. Makes you wonder how many health benefits will come of it! #Biom4180

[Andrew @AndyCardio]

A team out of the UK is working on combining artificial intelligence's ability to make predictions with prognostic science to help try and reduce heart failure due to pulmonary hypertension and cardiomyopathy #biom4180

With global warming and conditions that make certain people more susceptible to heat, heat-induced cardiovascular events are on the rise according to a recent study. Be aware when the weather starts (finally) warming up this year! #Biom4180

Many people choose to eat gluten-free foods these days for their own reasons. However, those with Celiac Disease have to be extra careful as it has been linked to #arrhythmias, #heartfailure, and even coronary artery disease! #Biom4180

The last few times I have set foot in a gym have been with a friend - it does help! #stayfit #Biom4180

Staying motivated to exercise can be hard! To help make physical activity a habit, try exercising with a friend: https://t.co/9orjYmJ9zI

Although diet drinks can help those who are diabetic or trying to lose weight cut back on sugar, there appears to be lack of sufficient evidence to support their safe consumption by children - particularly in relation to heart disease! #water #Biom4180

Elevation of cardiac enzymes in the blood such as Troponin T and Troponin I can not only tell doctors that a patient's heart is damaged, but indicate an underlying problem that can be addressed should the heart prove to be fine. #Biom4180

This article refers to a study that observed an 18% decrease in death due to heart failure in those who get their flu vaccine. Flu vaccination boosts survival, especially for those whose health is already compromised. #Biom4180

@KlaudiaZimmerm3 Possibly thanks to the SA node? #Biom4180

Lack of sleep increases inflammatory cells and plaque in arteries, leading to higher risk of cardiovascular disease!An important concept for university students/busy adults to keep in mind as demands of life tend to cause sleep duration to suffer #Biom4180

With the cold and flu season amidst us, over-the-counter decongestion medicines are taken very routinely for feelings of discomfort. But they may be more harmful to our hearts than we think! #NSAIDS #HighBloodPressure #Biom4180

We are all familiar with the fact that obstructed coronary arteries can be a major player in myocardial infarction. But what does it mean when a heart attack occurs when the arteries are less than halfway blocked? #MINOCA #biom4180

Engineers have found a way to convert kinetic energy of the heart into electricity that can charge batteries of implantable devices! They are working to help prevent periodical surgeries and risk of infections. #pacemaker #biom4180

This is an interesting note on an egg per day improving cardiovascular health. As someone who eats 5-6 per day I have wondered about their health effects - are 5 eggs still healthy, or extra bad for cholesterol? #HopeNot #HeartHealth #Biom4180

[Maria Manuel @manuelm96183064]

I guess an apple a day isn't the only thing that will keep the doctor away! More research is required due to the many controversial effects of eggs as stated, but it is definitely something to keep an eye on in the future. #BIOM4180

Stimulant medications act through the sympathetic nervous system. Are these therapies capable of causing long-term cardiac health effects in increasing numbers of youth and adults with ADHD diagnoses? #ADHD #BetaAgonists #biom4180
