CVD is the most common cause of pregnancy-related maternal mortality in 🇺🇸 It's vital to improve the care of 🤰 w/ CVD. Multidisciplinary, pregnancy 🫀 teams w/ 🧑‍⚕️ from diff fields can bridge gaps b/w #cardiology & #obstetrics! #biom4180 #biom4110

Our last day of #biom4180 happens to fall on #WorldAutismDay!
On the topic of #cardiology, one study had shown associations between congenital ❤ defects and austism, even when accounting for genetic syndromes. https://t.co/FiWDOKrYXQ

Breathing exercises have many important applications in health. They can be used in a hypertensive emergency to slow breathing, increase baroreceptor sensitivity and decrease heart rate and peripheral vascular resistance. #biom4180

10-15% of 🤰 women experience adverse #pregnancy outcomes. Complications like high🩸 pressure, gestational diabetes & preterm delivery are linked to ⬆️ risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life #biom4180 https://t.co/yWrQyxJnPc

This new publication regarding cardiac imaging studies of COVID-19 patients includes information about different ethnic and racial groups that was non-existent due to lack of diversity #biom4180

A new study examined the ❤️s of a swimmer🏊‍♂️ & an astronaut 👨‍🚀 It was found that the repeated weightlessness experienced when engaging in endurance #swimming & #spaceflight led to
🫀 alterations, like ⬇️ left ventricle mass & 🫀
atrophy #biom4180 https://t.co/Fb8WqMltIn

#Chocolate 🍫 is not only delicious, but it may also provide some amazing health benefits! Studies have linked 🍫 consumption with lower risks for myocardial infarction & ischemic 🫀 disease #biom4180

Drinking an excess amount of coffee can be detrimental to your overall heart health! It can increase blood pressure and heart rate. However if you drink within a limit coffee can actually be beneficial in warding off heart failure.☕#biom4180

@chouvalova Good to know! I love eating #eggs 🍳 for breakfast, but I've heard many people say that 🥚s ⬆️ risk of 🫀disease! I found another cohort study that shows🥚 consumption wasn't associated with risk of having 🫀attacks or developing 🫀 failure #biom4180

New #transcatheter 'Harmony' model approved for use by the FDA. Heart valve replacement through a catheter approach improves patient #QualityOfLife by reducing the number of open #heart surgeries a #patient has to go through in life. #biom4180

#Technology really is amazing! A new study shows that using 6 minute walk test data collected by an app on the #iPhone 📱 & #AppleWatch may be an effective way to remotely monitor 🫀 frailty in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients #biom4180

A study says 2️⃣ servings of fruit & 3️⃣ servings of veggies is what we need to consume each day for the greatest longevity! This is partially b/c these foods ⬇️ risk of 🫀disease! Aim for “5-a-day”! #biom4180 https://t.co/4Z5TXuHOGL

#Takotsubo (TTS) is an acute ❤️ failure syndrome, caused by emotional + physical stressors. 🧑‍🔬 found ⬆️ activity in the amygdala of patients, often present years before the onset of TTS. Lets be mindful & manage our #stress now to lower our risk! #biom4180 https://t.co/Vbhn0tZjM8

#ECGs are the standard tool 🖥️ for diagnosing #arrhythmias but electromechanical wave imaging (EWI) may be a potential alternative. 🧑‍🔬showed that EWI correctly predicted 96% of arrhythmia locations while ECG correctly identified 71% #biom4180

Did you know that being #sleep deprived (< 6 hrs of sleep) ⬆️ heart attack risk by 20%? The non-REM stage of sleep is particularly important for cardiac recovery from all the day's #stress! Please get enough sleep. Your ❤️will say thank you. 😁#biom4180

I've been drinking a lot of green #tea lately 🍵 Green tea contains polyphenols, which may have antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties. This study suggests green tea consumption is associated w/ ⬇️ prevalence of coronary artery disease #biom4180

Loved Dr. Mastromonaco's lecture in #BIOM4110 today! Here is her chapter in ScienceDirect’s recent book where she discusses the ongoing decline in biodiversity and how proper long-term genetic and demographic management of endangered species can help.

Interatrial shunts are a potential #treatment method for HFpEF. They relieve pressure overloads in the left atrium & ⬇️ hypertension in the pulmonary arteries leading to improvements in hemodynamics & quality of life 🙂 (2/2) #biom4180

#heartfailure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) occurs when the left ventricle of the 🫀 doesn't fill with blood 🩸 as well as normal. This can be due to stiffness of the ventricular tissue causing an inability to relax (1/2) #biom4180
