A study published in Arthritis and Rheumatology outlined that individuals who have rheumatoid arthritis and low levels of LDL are actually at risk of developing CVD from higher coronary arterial calcium scores. #BIOM4180

@joycecardio Thanks for this article Joyce! This confirms that those long days binge watching Netflix is not only bad for productivity but also our health! #BIOM4180

The FDA has approved a new breakthrough heart failure device called the Optimizer Smart System. This new device is implanted just under the skin (similar to a pacemaker procedure) and helps the heart beat more effectively. #BIOM4180

A diet low in carbohydrates may lead to an increased chance of developing AF! Researchers in China discovered that low carb diets were associated with increased risk of AF, regardless of the replacement type of protein or fat. #BIOM4180

New research suggests that gut bacteria may play a role in preserving the health of our arteries. Researchers found that old mice benefited from antibiotic treatment, while the intervention had no effect on young mice. #BIOM4180

Researchers have found that supplementation with anthocyanin's can improve cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in prehypertensive participants. #BIOM4180 #EatColorful

@jaimiecardio That is great! So any pigmented food that is red, purple, or blue could improve your cardiovascular health! #EatColorful #BIOM4180

Research has found that anthocyanins, found in blueberries, had beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. After consuming 200g of blueberries each day (that is a lot!), participants BP dropped by 5 mmHg (also a lot!). #BIOM4180

A study outlines that metformin, a common drug prescribed to individuals with type 2 diabetes, relaxes the protein #Titin in the heart. In animals the drug was able to reduce ventricular stiffness! #BIOM4180 #HeartMonth

New research is outlining the increase in cognitive impairment that heart troubles could cause, possibly leading to dementia. Now is the chance to turn the risk factors around while we are still young to avoid cardiovascular problems! #BIOM4180 #HeartMonth

Don't forget that February is #HeartMonth! Dr. Rajesh Dave outlined multiple numbers and factors we should be looking out for to have a healthy cardiovascular system. #BIOM4180

Scientists in Israel have discovered a possible primary cause of peripartum cardiomyopathy. It was reported that levels of STAT3, a protective protein in the heart, were lower in patients experiencing PPCM. #BIOM4180

A genetic mutation in any one of the cardiac ion channels can be fatal, highlighting the importance of proper electrolyte balance. Collectively, these mutations are called #channelopathies and have been linked to several types of arrhythmias #biom4180 https://t.co/iNojHWsxAC

After learning about stenosis in #biom4180 I was curious about some causes of aortic stenosis. This is an interesting illustration demonstrating the the risk of developing aortic stenosis secondary to kidney dysfunction. #stenosis

Study emphasizes importance of monitoring women with BP disorders for months post-pregnancy to reduce the risk of complications such as stroke. I wonder how feasible it is to monitor a new mother closely within the first 6 weeks with her new baby #biom4180 https://t.co/afqUFlivtO

A professor from the University of Sao Paulo developed #SAMβA, a compound that is able to strengthen a weak heart. The compound is able to improve mitochondria function, thus, increasing energy for the heart. #BIOM4180

Research out of the University of Edinburgh showing that #macrophages can have a role in lowering blood pressure by controlling endothelin levels in the blood. Looks like our immune system does more than just keeping us from getting sick...🧐 #biom4180 https://t.co/mjTGySxwaQ

Male mice lacking a clock gene don't experience a drop in BP at night creating a higher risk for heart disease. However, females lacking the same gene still maintained an apparent circadian rhythm showing a sex difference within the gene .#BIOM4180

Patients undergoing cancer treatment with severe aortic stenosis are often denied valve replacement, but #TAVR has shown promising results. This study found cancer patients have similar short-term mortality rates post-TAVR as non-cancer patients. #biom4180 https://t.co/JeAAMi8rRe

Continuing on the topic of #IschemicPreConditioning, the preliminary research began using the left circumflex artery in dog hearts. The amount of damage to the heart following myocardial infarction dropped from 30% to 7%. #BIOM4180.
