@KamiraRaju Interesting read! I personally grew up hearing this myth many times as well! #biom4180

[Kamira @KamiraRaju]

It is commonly believed that a glass of water before bed can prevent heart attacks. This article clarifies this misconception by explaining it may actually increase the risk because it can disturb your sleep cycle. #BIOM4180 https://t.co/UIjACQpTzk

[gthandi @gthandi1]

Wow! This is incredibly concerning due to the popularity of the keto diet (low-carb) in many people today! #biom4180

[J @bajwa_jasmit]

Anyone ever go on a low-carb diet? LISTEN UP! People getting a low proportion of their daily calories from carbohydrates such as grains, fruits & vegetables are significantly more likely to develop atrial fibrillation, according to a study! #biom4180 https://t.co/B7Zbc82p2a

This is incredible! I can already imagine the awesome application of this device during patient care to watch for any elevations in the condition. #biom4180

A new sensor can be worn on the chest that accurately predicts heart failure (HF) rehospitalization in patients with a history of HF! The sensor collects ECG waves, heart rate, skin temperature, and activity and posture information to predict HF #biom4180 https://t.co/Ap6jKfwbSJ

Very informative article! It's interesting that researchers suggest that using the aerobic capacity of patients in the future might be a better predictor of their risk of CVD. #biom4180

[Ahmed Al-Izzi @AhmedAlIzzi3]

According to a recent study, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk can be reduced with using nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions as they provide improvement in both rheumatoid arthritis disease activity and cardiovascular outcomes. #biom4180

You've probably seen artificial intelligence movies, but did you know this could help👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ diagnose patients with ❤️ failure in the future? It's currently being pilot tested but it looks promising with a 98% concordance rate with ❤️ specialists

@HasnawiMostafa This is very interesting. I wonder if any larger scale studies have been done to find a difference in incidence of CVD between countries closer to and further from the equator all around the world. #biom4180

[gthandi @gthandi1]

@StefanR816 This is great! I'm glad that the quality of patient care is not being greatly sacrificed in this situation! #biom4180

[gthandi @gthandi1]

@CardiologyTony Wow! This is definitely one of the most unexpected inventions I have come across. #biom4180

[gthandi @gthandi1]

@Hsaeed97 This is amazing news! I was shocked to read that heart disease is a leading cause of death in cancer survivors. Hopefully further research can uncover any additional mechanisms of antracyclines in the near future. #biom4180

[Hassan Saeed @Hsaeed97]

Doxorubicin is a drug used in chemotherapy which can cause heart failure in cancer patients. A recently discovered protein called FOXO1 involved in this process can be suppressed which reduces cardiac damage and could help boost survival rates! #biom4180

This new computer model may be the answer to controlling unexpected side effects of cardiac drugs. It can predict how different drugs may interact with hERG channels so that new drugs are safer for patients. #biom4180 https://t.co/Rjjn4Lz8Qn

[gthandi @gthandi1]

Experts highlight the importance of home-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients suffering from conditions such as heart disease. This is especially important at this time and includes more than just a walk-check out this article to learn more. #biom4180 https://t.co/W8nTS3bgWr

[gthandi @gthandi1]

@SCampbellCardio If only this were true for milk chocolate instead 💔 #biom4180

[gthandi @gthandi1]

@Solimanm4180 Wow, the amount of associations is quite shocking. I also imagine that the mechanism must be related to the amount of increased stress and possibly release of cortisol in these situations. #biom4180

[mina soliman @Solimanm4180]

A cohort study found women who survived domestic abuse were found to be at greater risk for developing CVD. Further research is required to understand the biological pathways that link abusive experiences with cardiometabolic disease #biom4180 https://t.co/mMZGRPN4Xa

[Kyle Gorospe @KyleAGor]

I'm not usually one to take tub baths but I might have to reconsider. A long term study published in "Health," found a link between taking hot baths each day and a lower risk of heart disease leading to death. #biom4180 https://t.co/lTu48syOfq

[Muneeb Siddiqui @MuneebUofG]

Check this blog article by a cardiologist on some crazy symptoms he encountered in patients with heart problems. My favourite case: a patient without any symptoms saw a nightmare that he previously saw before a heart attack 5 years ago. #biom4180
