We all enjoy a drink once in a while, but did you know chronic drinking may lead to Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy with the potential "tequila" the heart? 🍸

Click the infographic below for more about causes of ACM and the "cocktail" of factors impacting ACM prognosis #biom4180🍻

Trying to convince your family to get a dog??? Tell them its good for their heart! ♥️🐶

Studies show dog ownership is linked to lower risk of cardiovascular disease, likely due to reduced emotional stress and increased exercise! #biom4180

Eat your heart out??? Studies suggest that eating organ meats such as cow heart may be beneficial for our own cardiac health, as they contain high levels of Coenzyme Q10, and antioxidant with protective effects against heart disease! #biom4180 ♥️🍽️

Turns out Groove really IS in the heart! 🎶♥️

This paper looked into different kinds of singing and their effects on the cardiovascular system! Turns out singing not only makes you feel great, but may play a role in keeping our hearts healthy #biom4180

Daily reminder from your heart to stay active during this time! Stretch your legs, do some yoga, go for a hike and stay safe :) #biom4180

Eating fish tank cleaner to prevent COVID??? This fishy prevention method can cause Torsade De Pointes, a deadly arrhythmia! Needless to say, eating fish tank cleaners is not healthy, even if you think they may contain medical ingredients 🤦‍♂️🐟 #biom4180

The power of song??? A recent study shows that listening to 30 minutes of your favourite music per day may have just as much effect as medications in reducing anxiety and chest pain after a heart attack! #biom4180

Feeling the stresses of lockdown? Make sure you take time to de-stress, as hypertension and increased heart rate can lead to cardiac conditions further down the road when the pandemic is over! #biom4180

A Belgian nurse has died after the coronavirus spread from her lungs to her heart. Though this was likely due to a very high viral load, little is currently understood about the virus' effects on cardiac tissue #biom4180

In response to COVID-19 Pres. Trump announced a potential "miracle cure" of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine. However, these claims may be dangerous as this drug combination can cause long-QT syndrome and arrhythmias! #biom4180

As global concerns around COVID19 continue to grow, should those with cardiovascular disease be especially worried? Respiratory viruses place increased strain on the heart, so make sure you wash your hands and stay safe! #biom4180

Curious about the effects of exercise on heart health? This interview with the team cardiologist for the Philadelphia Eagles provides great insight into topics such as wearable fitness devices and how much exercise we really need! #biom4180

@AnthonyTorresin Great news for outdoors-lovers! Do you know if the type of outdoor climate has any impact on the cardiovascular benefits?

Would it be more better for me to study my #biom4180 notes on a beach or in a snowbank this reading week? 🏖️☃️♥️

UFC fighter Tyson Fury claims that he recently gave up drinking 3 gallons of pop a day! Maybe a #biom4180 student told him about the link between sodas, hypokalemia, and risk of arrhythmias! Cheers to that Tyson!🥤

During the Blues game last night, Jay Bouwmeester collapsed on the bench in cardiac distress. Luckily medical staff was able to treat Jay quickly with the use of a rinkside defibrillator, saving his life! #biom4180

New evidence shows those all-night study sessions may be bad for cardiovascular health! Read more about the link between insomnia and cardiovascular disease (just not in bed at 3:00 AM!) 😴 #biom4180

Presenting to the hospital with chest pain? Better hope you don't have Acute Coronary Syndrome! New study suggests ECGs have very low accuracy for diagnosing ACS! #biom4180

Interesting news out of Austin, Texas where a local hospital will be offering free heart screens to high school athletes! Some may have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which can be fatal when combined with intense exercise! #biom4180

Recently in #biom4180 we have discussed ECGs and how they measure electrical flow through the heart. But did you know that ECGs may soon help diabetics measure their blood sugar? Fingerprick testing may become a thing of the past!
