[Joey C @jc_4180]

Remember to stay active, eat healthy, and get rest this exam season! #biom4180

[William Lutz @WillCardio]

Exercise is perfect for this time of the year to not only limit stress from exams but also improve heart health!! #biom4180

[Heart Throbs @_heart_throbs]

Biomedical engineers have developed cardiac patches from tiny blood vessels to be like heart muscle. The vessels can connect to native vasculature to aid in oxygen & nutrient delivery to the heart. This could be huge for heart attack recovery! #biom4180 https://t.co/ZV2NK9zYQm

This is interesting considering how I learned that women in Japan are less likely to receive CPR in public compared to men. CPR without mouth-to-mouth intervention may increase the likelihood of help from bystanders in this case. #biom4180

[Valentina L @lagos_leyton]

CPR not involving mouth-to-mouth breaths boosts the rate of bystanders that step in to perform it. This is crucial, as receiving any kind of CPR doubles the odds of surviving. Should CPR be simplified to increase willingness to step in? #biom4180

[Dr Tami Martino: Heart, Circadian Medicine ❤️⏰ @TamiMartino]

#Circadian CLOCK affects neurons in the brain (mPFC, hippocampus), mood and cognition in #heart failure. Our new study looks at BOTH heart AND brain : LINK: https://t.co/0sn3VQCtGS

Hoping that emerging knowledge about symptomatic differences will help bridge the gender gap in MI treatment!

[WYYBIOM4180 @wyybiom4180]

We're now aware of many socio/bio factors contributing to differences in treatment of men & women with MI. This article mentions that differences in symptom descriptions and pain location may be attributable to the delay in female treatment time #biom4180 https://t.co/ycjf5MlxiY

[Joey C @jc_4180]

A study done at UofG explains why heart failure patients have trouble with thinking and depression. It points to ways to prevent and treat both heart and brain-related illnesses through circadian medicine. #biom4180

New imaging technique allows for amazing 3D models of the tiny beating heart of fetuses still in the womb. This could change fetal surgery for the better, as it would give doctors a chance for earlier diagnosis and more accurate surgical plans! #biom4180

Always cool to see different applications and advancements of treatments we learn about in our #biom4180 lectures! Check out this potential new use for sirolimus!

[BIOM*4180 @mlai012]

Remember how sirolimus inhibits the activity of mTOR to prevent plaque formation around stents? Well, mTOR is also involved in preventing autophagy of toxic proteins in Parkinson's. Sirolimus is being investigated as a potential treatment. #biom4180 https://t.co/GjN8vVYzi6

[Joey C @jc_4180]

@mlai012 Interesting! This adds on to our #biom4180 knowledge of how cardioprotective alcohol intake levels and mechanisms are not well-defined. It's important to carefully consider everything we read and believe.

[Joey C @jc_4180]

@WillCardio The guide can be found here: https://t.co/raKopYNUWG #biom4180

[Joey C @jc_4180]

@WillCardio Great question! As a meta-analysis, the researchers found heterogeneity in results. However, they suggest that there is likely a minimum dose needed to detect a significant change in vascular function. I think a good rule of thumb would be to follow Canada's Food Guide! #biom4180

[Joey C @jc_4180]

How do berries get their colour? 🍓 Anthocyanin! Turns out that this natural compound also helps improve heart health by making artery walls wider and more flexible, lowering blood pressure. #biom4180

[Joey C @jc_4180]

Thanks for this much-needed reminder! Grades are important but not at the expense of your health. Please take good care of yourselves!! #biom4180

[Val @biomedval]

We're at the final push of our undergrad careers! Just a friendly reminder to all you lovely folks to MAKE YOUR #HEALTH A PRIORITY at this stressful time! Ensure you're rested😴, eat well🍎 and lean on your friends👫👬👭 so you can put your best foot forward + BP❤️ down #biom4180

[Joey C @jc_4180]

It's noteworthy that both diets are plant-based, emphasizing high consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole-grains, and legumes and lower consumption of meat and processed foods. They've also been shown to increase longevity! #biom4180 https://t.co/VUxG6cs5JP

[Vanessa Huntley @cardiology_4180]

With so many different diets out there, it can be hard for people to differentiate which is the best for their heart health vs. best for losing weight. Research shows vegetarian and Mediterranean diets are most beneficial for heart health. #Biom4180

[American College of Cardiology @ACCinTouch]

The ACC would like to thank doctors for all that they do! Special thanks to all cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons & specialists in CV-related fields for your dedication to transforming #CVD patient care & improving ❤️ health. Happy National #DoctorsDay!

[Joey C @jc_4180]

An interesting way in which technology is revolutionizing how healthcare professionals provide care to their patients! #biom4180

[BIOM*4180 @mlai012]

Now this is interesting: a new toilet seat is able to monitor the heart activity and blood pressure of CHF patients. Researchers are hoping that this will help lower re-admittance rates, which would benefit both hospitals and patients. #biom4180 https://t.co/e0BMS8xqnK

[Joey C @jc_4180]

Culture the culprit?

Researchers showed that Japanese women are less likely to receive CPR in public places compared to men. This disparity should be further investigated in order to implement effective public health interventions. #biom4180

@wyybiom4180 v c0ol indeed!!!

[Joey C @jc_4180]

Did you know that air pollution causes double the number of deaths from CVD as from respiratory diseases? It damages blood vessels by increasing oxidative stress, which in turn, increases BP, diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, and heart failure. #biom4180 https://t.co/v6I0iHNflu

[Joey C @jc_4180]

In honor of #NationalNutritionMonth, here are some heart-healthy food suggestions! Small changes can have a big impact! #biom4180 https://t.co/3lpkrPqnRH
