@DhooriaSahiba This is very interesting! It shows how the heart is affected by both internal and external conditions. #biom4180

What happens to the heart 🫀 at #high #altitude 🏔️? Overall, the heart function is ⬇ as a result of #hypoxia!
The effects are ⬆ severe among individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. #biom4180

Music is not only good for the👂🏼but can be great for the🫀Much lower levels of anxiety & pain were reported after patients with post-infarction angina listened to 🎶 for 30 mins a day!

More studies on age, volume and genre must be done as well! #biom4180 https://t.co/U3EnzO55qS

Did you know that too much sitting may be harmful even if you exercise daily? #Sitting for ⬆ hours a day may ⬆ #CVD risks! Many studies yielded similar results across varying ages & sexes; thus, confirming that sitting & ♥️ disease are linked. #biom4180 https://t.co/phNcxZsRYm

Psoriasis is a progressive autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the skin; however, the condition and/or treatment may eventually affect other organs and organ systems. #biom4180

[Riley Grant @yelirtnarg]

Do you know anyone with #psoriasis? This inflammatory skin disease is known to cause itchy patches of skin, but it also leads to a higher risk of CVD. Systemic inflammation and metabolic differences act together to increase CVD occurrence #biom4180

A high-sodium diet may be harmful to the body, especially the heart 🫀 . Excess #sodium and/or #salt increases cardiovascular risks for high blood pressure, heart attack, heart failure and others. #biom4180

Shifting the focus away from weight loss (for women♀️)...

New research suggests that the focus for women should be to ⬆️muscle mass💪 rather than to ⬇️fat in order to prevent #CVD! In fact, body fat can protect women against CVD🫀!

@DaniellaGilmour This is an interesting article! In MICR*3230, I learned that the key to a successful transplant is matching the MHC and ABO blood types; however, that is not the case here! #biom4180

Even though comfort foods help with a broken heart, it may literally break one’s heart. #biom4180

Did you know that #childhood behaviors may impact #adulthood cardiovascular health? #CVD risk factors including diet 🍔 , exercise ⛹️‍♀️ , obesity ⚖️ , lipids 🩸 , smoking (active/passive) 🚬 and/or blood pressure 🩺 may develop at an early age! #biom4180

@Prina21 It’s interesting to see how the fear of COVID-19 prevents people from seeking the help they need for serious conditions that may be far more dangerous than the virus itself. #biom4180

[Mayuri Kirupakaran @MayuriAshley]

#NationalSpinachDay: Did you know that the vascular system of #spinach was used to synthesize beating heart cells💚? This is the 1st step toward literal "Green Technology"! The goal is to grow healthy heart muscles to help heart attack patients! #biom4180 https://t.co/7fMtdSVKzh

[Damon Ye @damonuofg]

Research about the heart and fat interest me the most! Findings in this study associate high muscle mass to lower CVD mortality risk for all. They also found body fat- to a certain extent- could possibly lower the risk of CVD mortality in women! #biom4180 https://t.co/7qKE9Kgh4A

An #apple🍎a day keeps the “bad” cholesterol away! A study in 2011 revealed that apples are #cardioprotective, by ⬇ “bad” cholesterol (LDL) & ⬆ ”good” cholesterol (HDL)! Bonus: Apples ⬇ body weight! #biom4180

The association between #cardiovascular problems and #noisepollution is readily evident! When I hear a sudden loud noise, I notice an increase in my heart rate; thus, long-term stimulation may lead to issues. Overall, loud noises increase the risk of heart problems! #biom4180

[Taryn Kieller @tarynkieller]

Did you know that #noisepollution has been linked to a ⬆️ risk of #heartproblems?

Exposure to loud noise causes a "fight-or-flight" response in your body. This can trigger harmful #inflammation in the lining of blood vessels, leading to disease! #biom4180

@emmmacamille This is very interesting! It shows that the human body is an integrated system, where if one is at risk, the rest is compromised! Although more research is needed, it’s helpful to be aware of the different risk factors. #biom4180

#Swim🏊‍♀️vs. #Run🏃‍♂️: Which is best for your heart? A study conducted at the University of Guelph revealed sport-specific Left Ventricular differences pertaining to diastolic function. #biom4180

@annag2022 I actually did my infographic on Brugada Syndrome as well! It was interesting to learn about the connection between the syndrome, Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. #biom4180

[Mayuri Kirupakaran @MayuriAshley]

It’s interesting to see the difference among women and men regarding the structure of the heart and/or the predisposition to certain conditions! The physician must consider these differences to ensure that patients receive the adequate care🩺. #biom4180

[Nicole Jones @nicole_biom4180]

Women’s heart are often smaller and have thinner walls compared to men. As a result, women’s hearts beat faster💓 but pump less blood🩸per beat. Continue reading📖🔍 https://t.co/O96xCfcTDX to find out why this matters! #biom4180

The Flash isn’t the only one to be struck by lightning🌩️! Does he have more than just powers...maybe an arrhythmia??? How about other lightning struck victims, do they suffer from post-exposure cardiac effects 🫀?...Yes! #biom4180 https://t.co/Hf6Ad2iI5H
