SPOTTED: @glenpyle before the last #BIOM4180 midterm. Is he plotting our diabolical end? Will this last midterm lead to my own personal heart failure? Stay tuned to find out.

#CWHHS2018 daily life angina related to #myocardial #ischemia with mental stress. Don’t under estimate stress’s effect on the #heart

Usually when we think of vitamins and supplements, we assume they will benefit our overall health. But taking Vitamin E and folic acid supplements may be "too much of a good thing" when it comes to #hearthealth and may increase your risk of heart failure #biom4180 https://t.co/DWxJf4K2Iw

[ACC Media Center @ACCmediacenter]

In this @nytimeswell article, @CardioSmart Editor-in-Chief @DrMarthaGulati discusses how trials have found vitamin E & folic acid supplements don't help w/ #cvPrev & instead raise #heartfailure risk: https://t.co/NRMiJ2VLl7

In between studying for upcoming exams and todays #biom4180 midterm, make sure to take a break, stretch your legs and go for a walk!🏃‍♀️ https://t.co/Z9f948mPy7

#nationalwalkingday may be over, but #CardioSmart still urges you to take those steps whenever you can! Instead of sending that email, walk over to your co-worker’s desk.

Another example of how #mentalhealth and #hearthealth go hand in hand. Patients with persistent anxiety were at 5 times the risk of developing complications following acute coronary syndrome. #biom4180 https://t.co/tXa0YvvT9Q

Google has developed new technologies using artificial intelligence to assess retinal images of blood vessels of the eye to easily predict and prevent cardiovascular disease https://t.co/Y1Ql9lB2Lz #biom4180

Millions are affected by atrial fibrillation worldwide. Commercially available Smart Watches, such as the #AppleWatch have been proven to provide highly accurate results in detection of atrial fibrillation. This could decrease the risk of stroke and mortality in users! #biom4180 https://t.co/F39qqSu5nq

"Research would suggest that the causes of SCD may be variable among different athlete groups". Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), as previously thought, may not contribute to sudden cardiac death in high risk groups #biom4180 https://t.co/nBxcNeUdCc

[Kylie Shaughnessy @kshaughn08]

Today in #biom4180 we learned that ECG screening does not always detect cardiovascular abnormalities in elite athletes. The All Heart Foundation looks to use tools such as wearable devices and smart technology to predict sudden cardiac death. More info: https://t.co/nCr7SAs5Pg https://t.co/c4u3uVqi55

[Kylie Shaughnessy @kshaughn08]

Using horses as models for experimental studies may help in studying the adaptive physiological changes that occur from endurance training in elite athletes and its relation to sudden cardiac death #neigh 🐴 #biom4180

“Patients who are told they have pre-diabetes should work with their providers to actively address it and initiate sustainable lifestyle changes and/or medications” Even without a diagnosis of diabetes you are still at risk of cardiovascular and kidney disease!! #biom4180 https://t.co/EFuEkW38UX

[World Heart Federation @worldheartfed]

People who have slightly elevated blood sugar that’s not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis may still have a higher risk of heart and kidney disease than individuals with normal blood sugar: https://t.co/P0lSpU5xOX #hearthealth #CVD

Lack of #sleep can be more harmful than your patients think. Here’s why catching those zzz’s is important to your health. https://t.co/3fBfWeOUe9

#DYK that those with #diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop #heartdisease than those who do not have the disease? https://t.co/bgLB62MnOC

New study shows that regular walking may be enough to protect post-menopausal women from heart failure! #biom4180 https://t.co/bFisLJfjxj

Aging can lead to a number of changes and effects on the heart and other organs, even in healthy individuals! Relates back to both #biom4180 AND biom4050 #healthyaging #cardiology https://t.co/U21YKDElKJ

It's #NationalNappingDay! In support if this special holiday I thought I'd share a study showing an association with napping and #hearthealth in reducing blood pressure and pulse wave velocity. Be sure to treat yourself to a well deserved nap! 💤#biom4180

Consuming too much salt causes our bodies to hold on to excess fluid, leading to hypertension and contributing to heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases! Reducing salt in our diets is a leap towards combatting #cardiovasculardisease. #SaltAwarenessWeek #biom4180 https://t.co/xN8oxQTFN3

This week it is #SaltAwarenessWeek! ❤️️
A diet high in salt can lead to high blood pressure which is associated with heart disease and stroke.
We want to start the week off by giving you six salt facts! Take a look...

[Kylie Shaughnessy @kshaughn08]

Last week in #biom4180 we learned about Takotsubo syndrome or "broken heart" syndrome. As seen in this study, not only can negative emotions lead to this diagnosis, but positive emotions or "happy hearts" affect the same pathway leading to similar outcomes

In need of a hug? Studies have found that hugs are heartfelt in more ways than one. Just 20 seconds of hugging has proven to increase oxytocin levels as well as lower blood pressure and heart rate, reducing risk factors for CVD! #hugsfortheheart #biom4180 https://t.co/IAyPlB6Nau
