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

Interesting read! #biom4180

It's unfortunate to know that there continues to be racial disparities for black women when it comes to heart disease care. Hopefully gender and racial differences in quality of medical care will be resolved in the near future. #biom4180 https://t.co/jyvFTtETff

Even 100-year-olds can be angioplasty survivors! After a heart attack last December, a farmer born in 1918 underwent 2 procedures and had a total of 3 stents put in to treat coronary artery blockages. #biom4180 https://t.co/GW75NrN8VQ

@FarzamShahzad Agreed! This has been a common theme throughout our #biom4180 lectures when discussing new potential treatments with conflicting study findings.

Did you eat eggs for breakfast? Study finds that higher than average egg consumption is tied to greater risk of CVD due to their cholesterol content. However, similar studies have had conflicting results. #biom4180 https://t.co/ocCJTlGDxY

Canada recently legalized #cannabis, but is it safer than smoking cigarettes when it comes to your #hearthealth? Dr. Paul Oh is on the case; you can’t spell healthcare without thc, but will it really prevent you from being a statistic? https://t.co/YP2nI44Tkt @TorontoRehab @UHN

Have you ever heard that moderate alcohol consumption is cardioprotective? This recent study shows otherwise, finding that people consuming moderate amounts of alcohol are twice as likely to develop stage 2 hypertension compared to nondrinkers. #biom4180 https://t.co/oDJS8eA4Ur

It's always inspiring to see heart attack survivors making the most of their lives post-recovery. Reminds me of Janet, our guest lecturer, who showed us how she is also living her life to the fullest! #biom4180

Former professional hockey player Craig Cunningham suffered an on ice heart attack causing his heart to stop beating for 83 minutes. Losing his leg as a result of the attack, Craig is making the most of it with a special prosthetic skate #biom4180

IgG antibodies have been found to be necessary for plaque stability; in mice that lacked antibodies, plaques were found to be more prone to rupturing. This discovery may be significant for the treatment of atherosclerosis in the future. #biom4180 https://t.co/Ltnrr15gyL

[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

It's always interesting to see news articles about content covered in #biom4180 lectures! Glad to know that these gender differences are being acknowledged more and more in the literature.

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

Women with gestational diabetes have a 2.3-fold increase in risk of developing heart attacks and strokes. It's important for mothers to adopt a healthy lifestyle after pregnancy to minimize chances of developing future cardiovascular issues. #biom4180 https://t.co/iEahMxvKmC

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

Kids can have high blood pressure, too. New research looks at how easily teens with high BP may transition from pediatric care to doctors for grownups. https://t.co/BrHq60J93N

[BIOM*4180 @mlai012]

Very cool. It would be interesting to see future studies investigating the long-term effects of this intervention. #biom4180

A new study outlines catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation in order to lower BP in hypertensive patients! https://t.co/snZMCEHdjg #biom4180

Being able to eat delicious berries while improving my cardiovascular health at the same time sounds like a win-win situation to me! #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
