@StephanieOuz Interesting! Specifically, I’m eager to learn more about recreational #cannabis 💨 use’s effects on #CV 🫀 health bc it was recently legalized 👀 This study suggests simultaneous use of recreational drugs (like tobacco and cannabis) 🚬 increases the risk of #ASCVD #biom4180

@samueltriemstra @jenelle_huras This is such a simple way to learn more about our fellow #biom4180 peers’ lifestyle choices! I was just thinking about how we have to select which behaviours to adopt/leave behind, bc it seems like too much or too little of almost anything can 📈 risk of #CVD 😅 #NobodysPerfect

Noise pollution is bad for #CV health too?! Now I’m more appreciative of those barriers lining the highway! 🛣Only small adverse changes are seen w traffic 🔊>65dB, but think of the many additional ways risk factors 📈. This gives me even more reason to go camping 😁🏕 #biom4180

Road traffic noise is bad for cardiovascular health: data from more than 370,000 participants in the UK Biobank revealed small but adverse changes in blood pressure and cardiovascular biochemistry https://t.co/N0lQISnLJn

@Shayan_Ashoori @julichri12 During my infographic research on #MitralValveProlapse, I found that endocarditis prevention was especially important for those diagnosed with #MVP where regurgitation of🩸into the LA is present. The dentist should definitely be made aware! #biom4180 https://t.co/TcGP0IEiGx

The Cardiac Surgery team at St. Michaels 🏥 has performed the first non-invasive maze procedure to treat atrial fibrillation! Using a catheter, they formed scar tissue that blocks the electrical signal, preventing irregular heart rhythms ⚡️🫀 #biom4180 https://t.co/XAlNRshbeN

@ksantoscardio This made me think of all of the ways to get healthy fats through consuming a #mediterraneandiet - with fish playing a vital role! 🫒🍇🐟 The @MayoClinic attributes the Omega-3s to helping 📉 risk of stroke and heart failure 🧠🫀 https://t.co/jqHYEEZDJ4 #biom4180

Coronary artery obstruction can be an unlikely but devastating consequence of TAVR, occurring when aortic valve leaflets are pushed back and block the L+R coronary artery ostia🫀BASILICA involves lacerating✂️ the leaflets to prevent obstruction! #biom4180

[Cardiology Today @CardiologyToday]

A procedure to prevent coronary artery obstruction in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement was safe at 30 days, researchers reported at the virtual CRT_Meeting @ron_waksman #CRT2021 @nih_nhlbi @MedStarWHC #CardioTwitter https://t.co/dIJSXRwDJh

Have you ever cooked with tofu?

For people who don’t want to eat meat (or much meat), there are many healthy ways to get enough protein. A 1-cup serving of tofu, cooked beans, peas or lentils can replace a 2-ounce serving of meat.
