A risk factor for coronary heart disease is LDL-C, and almonds have shown to ⬇️LDL-C in many clinical trials!
Further research on the incorporation of almonds in the diet would be interesting to see! #biom4180 🫀

Are you a #dog person? Their presence can have a positive impact.
This study shows that a student's base line #HeartRate is lowered when a dog is present in the #classroom.

@yelirtnarg Hi Riley, great tweet! I also posted about inflammatory conditions and how the risk of cardiovascular diseases is higher in younger adults. Here is the article I saw that also talks about other inflammatory conditions if you're interested! #biom4180

@masonthom_ I was surprised about this too Mason! Even though there was not a causal relationship it’s still interesting to see how they were able to find an association! I am going to check out some other articles on this as well. #biom4180

[Prina @Prina21]

Those with inflammatory conditions are given the same advice as the general population on how to prevent heart attacks.
- Healthy Eating 🍽️🧑‍🍳
- Physical Activity🏃‍♀️🏊
- Control cholesterol, BP and diabetes 🫀 🩺
- Avoid smoking 🚭

Young adults with inflammatory conditions such as lupus, psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis are twice as likely to have heart attacks that are fatal! 🫀 #biom4180

Air pollution and heart disease have a clear link!

Pollutants are interfering with blood flow which can cause heart attacks, strokes, and irregular heart rhythms.🫀🩺 This evidence calls for action! #biom4180 #AirPollution #heartdisease

@MayuriAshley It really is. I hope more people start to seek help for heart diseases, now that we know a lot more about COVID-19 than we did before! Following the guidelines can help reduce the fear in people as well. #biom4180

[Prina @Prina21]

People may not go in to get treated for heart diseases due to COVID-19. It’s important to encourage them to seek medical help as deaths due to heart diseases are increasing📈during the pandemic.

Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) overexpression in mice found to reverse cardiac hypertrophy and when MPC was eliminated cardiac hypertrophy was developed! #Interesting🤔Prescreening could be done based on MPC expression. #biom4180

This is so cool!! Minimally invasive maze procedure for atrial fibrillation! 🫀Advancements such as these greatly help improve patient care! #biom4180 #AtrialFibrillation #Healthcare #Advances

[Claire @cbatters3]

The Cardiac Surgery team at St. Michaels 🏥 has performed the first non-invasive maze procedure to treat atrial fibrillation! Using a catheter, they formed scar tissue that blocks the electrical signal, preventing irregular heart rhythms ⚡️🫀 #biom4180 https://t.co/XAlNRshbeN

@MayuriAshley I love the Flash connection. It’s so interesting to see just how much of the body is affected in victims of lightning strikes. I found this article here that takes a look at a case report (A 27 year old male who was struck by lightning) #biom4180
