"Raptors game is Wednesday night. If we decide Eid is on Wednesday I will be forced to spend time with my wife's family. I already have a party with my fellow Molanas from Scarborough" - #TRUESTORY young Molanas chiming in for the City! #Rapsin6
@chris_4180 This article only further supports the movement of organizations such as St. Johns ambulance saying that in most cases, compression only CPR is just as effective! #biom4180
@mikella_cardio@mnt Wait, is this study saying that regular coke is better for you than diet coke or coke zero, in terms of CVD risk (sugar sweetened drinks vs. artificially sweetened drinks)? Thats real interesting! I'm deffs gonna have to look into that! #biom4180
@LaylaCardio Yeah! I mean on paper, it sounds like a great idea! I think it'd also be interesting to see the privacy concerns associated with sending medical information to 3rd parties, and the legal ramifications of a breach or something #biom4180
The modern era is so cool. This article talks about the use of HeartFlow in the UK to create 3d mock-ups of the heart based off of a coronary CT scan, allowing Docs to see blood flow, occlusions, and determine the best course of action! #biom4180

@RawalNishi I've read similar stuff about Aspirin, but idk about the fish oil stuff. I've heard some conflicting info that Fish Oil actually helps people who have suffered from cardiac events previously as it reduces the risk of recurrent events #biom4180#whoknows?

Diet induced heart problems during pregnancy can follow for up to 2 generations (and possibly more). This is especially important for those who give into all cravings during pregnancy. Stay safe everyone! #biom4180

This is legit the coolest #cardiology thing I've read in a while. Using piezoelectric materials that produce electricity when bent, they're using heartbeats to power pacemakers. Mind = blown #biom4180

For those who might not be aware, @ACCinTouch held the Annual Scientific Session reporting the latest in #Cardiology news! This is a good summary of the major topics presented! #biom4180

Apparently the new drug Brinavess is quite effective at reducing Afib; allowing people to go home after 3-4 hours since admission, feeling much better. Definitely gotta look into this more... #biom4180

Fascinating new invention coming out of RIT: a toilet seat programmed with sensors measuring HR, BP, SV, blood oxygen, and pt's weight, with the hopes of reducing congestive heart failure readmission rates by detecting signs early #biom4180 https://t.co/j7IWqOyp67
@Tiana_4180 LOL this is actually really funny. As @keshumi_chan said, it would be really good for people who lead sedentary lifestyles as it would test them during potentially "stressful" "intense" situations where CO could be increased #biom4180
According to Dr. Carl Lavie, many clinicians dont feel confident enough to prescribe exercise to improve longevity. He also mentions that it'll give you the best bang for buck (because its free!) #ExerciseIsMedicine#biom4180

Would you wear an ECG earring? Seems like researchers from @escardio are looking into the ear as a novel location for a portable 1lead ECG checker that would leave one hand empty. Anyone else thinking of AirPods right now? #biom4180 https://t.co/ixkscOC8rD
@hannahcardio This is so intense! I mean, who would've thought? I'll take this as an excuse to take a nap for "adjusting purposes". But in all seriousness, I wonder if theres some way of mitigating this. Maybe we change the rhythm by transitioning into DST over a few days? Thoughts? #biom4180
Is this the beginning of Apple's inevitable foray into medical devices? A study conducted by Stanford showed an 84% accuracy in the apple watch series 1, 2, & 3 in detecting atrial fibrillation! Lets see what else they can "pump out" #biom4180

@Tiana_4180@American_Heart@ACCinTouch I never took pharm, but it makes sense! Why put people through the risk of adverse effects from bleeding? Especially when it doesn't seem to do as much as we once thought it did? #biom4180
Seems that a daily aspirin for healthy adults has been shown to do absolutely nothing! A recent study has changed the @American_Heart & @ACCinTouch guidelines of when to prescribe daily aspirin #biom4180

Technology is wild! Using cardio concepts such as photoplethysmography to look at the change in blood volume in a blood vessel to diagnose diabetes! So cool! #biom4180

Citing a recent publication in JAMA, this article talks about the quality of evidence (or I guess lack thereof) used to create cardiology guidelines by @ACCinTouch & @escardio. Only 8.5% of guidelines are based on RCTs! #biom4180
