Know what a heart attack looks like? Maybe not. Women tend to show different and much less obvious signs than men. Know what to look for. Know how to help.

"The burden of early onset CVD and risk factors is a major public health issue." A sobering end to today's presentation but an important reminder that much more work needs to be done to improve CV screening, prevention, and treatment in BC! #heartresearch #hearthealth

[SAVE BC @SAVEBCstudy]

According to current guidelines, 40-50% of SAVE BC index patients would not have been identified as high risk prior to their cardiac event. This underscores the importance of developing better CV screening strategies.

When people are asked why they aren’t more physically active, the most common answer is that they don’t have enough time. We have built a society that has purposely engineered activity out of our daily lives. Learn how to increase your daily activity with tips from @DrScottLear.

The rate of heart disease among younger people is not improving. That’s the finding in a new study by researchers, including some from Vancouver, published Monday in the Journal of the American Heart Association. @AMacOnAir has more: https://t.co/IwyxSTNhko

[Liam Brunham @LiamBrunham]

Thank you @CJC_JCC for highlighting this study, led by @UBCmedicine students Raymond Cho and Jian Weng. We learned a huge amount about patients' priorities for cardiovascular research, which will inform the next phases of @SAVEBCstudy.

Dr. Prabhakaran explains that reducing CVD burden must be addressed at individual and societal levels, and shows how tech innovations can be used to analyze and resolve both. “From bench to bedside to beyond!” @HLIStPauls

[SAVE BC @SAVEBCstudy]

Excited for today’s @HLIStPauls lecture presented by Dr. Prabhakaran: "Innovations to reduce CVD burden: Lessons from India"

For study participants: this is the brilliant person running all our genetic tests 🧬🔬Drop him a thank you if you've some time!

Have you ever been annoyed or hangry fasting before blood tests?

New research is suggesting that non-fasting tests might be useful too. Eat up (in the future, maybe)! 🍽
