With quite a few differences between heart attacks in women and men, such as different symptoms experienced and the fact that it is often thought of as a “man’s disease”, articles like this are so important! Be aware of your risk! #BIOM4180
“Women need to be heard and advocate loudly for better research, treatment and outcomes.” New article from @TIME featuring an important message from WomenHeart SAC members @SharonneHayes@NanetteWenger and Dr. Noel Bairey Merz. #HeartDisease https://t.co/2nzD6EmSlD
@AHANewYorkCity This is no laughing matter! Research finds that laughing lowers your BP, benefits health of BV, increases blood flow, and increases HR for a cardio workout! All decrease risk for MI and stroke. Don’t forget to laugh this April Fool’s Day! #BIOM4180 https://t.co/328DTilC9D
@AliciaCardio Thanks for sharing Alicia! Out of some of the factors discussed either in class or by the author, which difference, such as differences in symptoms, do you deem to be most significant? #BIOM4180
Can we target plaques before they even form in arteries!? Advanced imaging technology can now be used to spot artery inflammation to possibly prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the rate of myocardial infarctions and strokes! #BIOM4180 https://t.co/gQycdfVJIQ
@VanGoghsEar5 That's a great idea! One of the major reasons these victims face CVD is because of the unhealthy coping mechanisms that are used, such as substance abuse and the consequential effects it has on your blood vessels. Early intervention may help prevent such from happening #BIOM4180
Research shows that those who face ACEs are up to 4x more likely to develop cardiovascular disease! Increased risk of participating in CVD risk factors and altered reactivity to psychological stress among possible explanations #BIOM4180 https://t.co/lFFIpJiBDB
Now is NOT the time to decrease funding for heart disease research. Make your voice heard – all it takes is one click to ask Congress to reject the President’s proposal to cut funding from the National Institutes of Health. https://t.co/rCjZGLWMRX
Having #diabetes means you have too much sugar in your blood. If untreated, diabetes can harm the body, particularly the ❤️ and vascular system: https://t.co/7tUNLSgfVm #DiabetesAlertDay
New prevention guidelines back plant-based diets to help reduce, even reverse, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease. https://t.co/nZrRY0Rpcp
As the weather becomes nicer, introducing some of these activities into your daily routine is a great idea! #DYK that the avg. person sits for more than half of their day!? Aiming to get more than 150 minutes of exercise per week will help prevent issues such as CVD! #BIOM4180
As it’s #NationalPuppyDay I decided to research the role of pets on cardio health. Not only do pets promote physical activity and therefore ↓ risk of CVD, but having Pets are also found to better your cardiovascular reactivity to stress! #BIOM4180 https://t.co/EZCgpo2zWH
Unlike other well-known devices, such as the defibrillator, this device modulates the strength of the contraction instead of focusing on the rhythm! What a great idea! #BIOM4180#innovation read more here: https://t.co/PM7nxd3331
New FDA-approved device for HF patients who are ineligible or CRT. The Optimizer Smart Implantable Pulse Generator delivers electrical pulses to RV septum during absolute refractory period following heart contraction #BIOM4180
Compared to adults who consumed less than 1 serving of nuts a month, those consuming 5 servings a week had 17% lower risk for #heartdisease & up to 34% lower risk of death: https://t.co/RjPsqKaznE
Study finds that low surgical risk individuals with severe aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) patients were at lower risk for death, stroke and other complications compared to surgical patients. Is simplicity the key? https://t.co/Tw7cNZlpz1 #BIOM4180
In 2011, just after she had finished filming the first season of “Game of Thrones,” actress Emilia Clarke suffered the first of two life-threatening strokes. Read her story from @NewYorker https://t.co/UvncSd6knH
