Research progress on the association between viruses and cardiac diseases

🚨Your heart’s deadliest serial offender just got named: SarsCoV2

Interesting Chinees review just mapped how six viruses attack the heart.

One stands out!

Not because the authors scream “worst ever,” but because the science does.

→Direct heart-cell invasion + long-term damage + cumulative hits from regular reinfections = a unique threat!

Vaccines help. But the data is sobering.

Let’s break it down virus by virus(review):

1. SARSCoV2:
- Enters cardiomyocytes and pericytes via ACE2 receptor (membrane fusion/endocytosis).
- Direct infection triggers myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, heart failure (de novo or exacerbation), microclots, thromboembolic events and myocardial infarction,
- Long-term: persistent cardiac inflammation, dysautonomia and long-COVID cardiovascular symptoms,
- Possible viral persistence in tissue,
- Vaccination reduces myocarditis risk/CV complications compared with natural infection,
-Regular reinfections!

2.Influenza (A/B):
- Direct replication in cardiomyocytes, Purkinje cells and endothelial cells (independent of lung titers),
- Causes myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, heart-failure flares and myocardial infarction via both cytopathic effects and cytokine-driven systemic inflammation/endothelial dysfunction.
- Long-term: myocardial fibrosis and remodelling,
- Vaccines lower infection-related cardiovascular complications,

3. HIV:
- No productive cardiomyocyte infection,
- Indirect damage from chronic immune activation, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic changes and antiretroviral toxicity,
- Drives cardiomyopathy (myocarditis in advanced cases), heart failure, myocardial infarction and stroke,
- Long-term: premature cardiovascular aging, fibrosis and remodelling even on suppressive therapy,

4. CVB3 (Coxsackievirus B3):
- Enters via CAR receptor,
- Direct cytopathic necrosis, oedema and impaired contractility in cardiomyocytes,
- Rapid progression to myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias (QTc prolongation) and heart failure,
- Chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy is a hallmark sequela,

5. Human cytomegalovirus(HCMV):
- Lifelong latency with reactivation (especially in immunocompromised),
- Induces myocarditis, heart failure, transplant vasculopathy and atherosclerosis through sustained inflammation and vascular injury,
- Long-term myocardial remodelling,

6. Arthropod-borne viruses(Arboviruses = DENV, CHIKV, ZIKV):
- Direct cardiac invasion (some models) plus immune-mediated injury,
- Associated with myocarditis, arrhythmias, heart failure, shock and (CHIKV) dilated cardiomyopathy or long-term ischemic heart disease/cerebrovascular risk.

‼️So, this minireview examines six cardiotropic viruses side-by-side, yet SARS-CoV-2 receives the most space because of its proven direct cardiomyocyte invasion, explosive multi-pathway damage, and documented long-term cardiac persistence, risks that broader population data show accumulate relentlessly with every regular reinfection, creating an immediate and chronic cardiovascular burden on a global scale that no other virus in this review matches.

Did I ever mention this is what ‘people first’ leadership looks like?

He not only leads with people first policy, he leads in people first messaging. This is how you build back trust in politics.

This is a before and after of the water level at Lake Powell

Lake Powell’s water level today is at critically low levels. Some parts are completely dry and overall it’s only at 23% capacity

24 large hyperscale data centers and 379 smaller data centers are located across the 7 Colorado River Basin states

Cities, farms and industry in 7 states and Mexico pull more water than The Colorado River reliably supplies

To make things even worse, A high-profile proposed $10 billion data center is being planned right next to Lake Powell

Here is to defiant joy.

Here is a resilient spirit.

Here is to showing up fully for others, especially the small, the overlooked, and those in need.

My father used to say there are two ways to live in this world: as a thermometer or as a thermostat. One reflects the energy around it. The other changes it.

This man is a thermostat.

His joy is contagious. His care is evident. His spirit lifts everyone around him, including a lot of very lucky dogs.

May we all choose to be thermostats. May we bring warmth where there is coldness, cool when things are unbearably hot, and comfort to others who are dealing with a world that can be too harsh and unforgiving.

IUCN and @UNODC have signed a strategic partnership to strengthen cooperation against environmental crime — from wildlife trafficking and illegal logging to fisheries crime and pollution, including links to transnational organised crime.

The agreement also reinforces both organisations' commitment to the safety of environmental defenders worldwide.

Every year, thousands of protected animals, including whales, dolphins and seabirds, are killed incidentally by fishing gear.

The Government must work with fishers and environmental NGOs to end the bycatch of marine species.

The Trump administration is dismantling the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a key monitoring system for tracking the climate crisis.

Policy expert David Helvarg calls it "the most advanced system for understanding the deep ocean," which was set to continue operating for at least another 15 years. He says the Trump administration, however, is more focused on oil drilling and deep-sea mining, treating the ocean "as a gas station and a garbage dump."

Happy birthday to @realmikefox! The @MichaelJFoxOrg invested more in Parkinson's research than the U.S. government itself. "Optimism is a political act." In a world full of uncertainty, setbacks, and reasons to give up, choosing optimism is an act of courage.

New Anthropocene paper. Earth still operates in "Holocene logic", buffering heat imbalance. Anthropocene = Pressure. But, BAU, reaching 3°C in 2100 & we get "stuck" in a Hothouse trajectory for 1000 years. Anthropocene risks turning into a state. No Good.
