Could age-related changes in the gut microbiome be playing an imperative role in cardiovascular health? A study that suppressed the microbiome of old mice found that their vascular health was restored to that of a young mouse after 4 weeks! #BIOM4180

Best to put the Coco-Cola away and switch to water! Even when controlling for other dietary factors, physical activity and BMI researchers have found an association between sugary drink intake and higher mortality rates from CVD! #BIOM4180

Well this may just be the coolest thing I've read about this week! A team at the Rochester Institute of Technology has created a toilet seat that can detect congestive heart failure, in hopes of reducing hospital readmission rate. #BIOM4180

I'm excited to be game announcing at this week's @NBRobotics @CANFIRST competition in North Bay. Watch live: https://t.co/m3wQrzOpPo https://t.co/SCA9U86Exw #NorthBayFRC #OMGRobots

Scientists say thinking about mental and physical health in isolation needs to stop in order to create real change as a new study suggests inflammation could be the shared mechanism between cardiovascular disease and depression. #BIOM4180 https://t.co/LQzzA05Gkz

Looks like the food guidelines may need to be reevaluated as the great cholesterol and eggs debate continues. A new study has reported, adults who ate more eggs and dietary cholesterol had a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease. #BIOM4180

I can't even watch a movie without being reminded of cardiology! #LifeofBrian #BIOM4180
Oh! I think I'm about to have a cardiac arrest. - https://t.co/IWDt3mUtpf https://t.co/T2CpHUaskz

Definitely an interesting read considering the increasing number of people that are choosing to transition. #BIOM4180

[Emilie Nicholl @EmilieNicholl]

Important topic to bring to light as more people undergo gender transitioning and are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events in the process.

Need another reason to quit smoking? Here it is. A study has found that paternal smoking was associated with a 74% increased risk of congenital heart defects, as fathers are a major source of secondhand smoke for pregnant women. #BIOM4180

Interesting read! Yet another reason to turn your TV off (or close your laptop)! #BIOM4180

[Maura @Maura66734967]

#biom4180 Prolonged TV watching is not good for heart health and eating a healthy and proper breakfast is good for the heart's health. This study shows that even interacting with people rather then watching TV reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease

Interesting and relevant read for many university students. A 16 year study has found that the number of heart attacks occurring in people under the age of 40 is increasing and may be associated with substance abuse. #BIOM4180

I always wondered how Eric Forman kept his blood pressure down when surrounded by his crazy friends and even crazier, over bearing parents! Study shows taking a midday nap can drop your blood pressure! #BIOM4180 #That70sShow

Don't disregard your heart health because you are young and athletic! A study on university rugby players showed they are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea than a middle-aged man, which may be linked to increased risk of heart abnormalities. #BIOM4180

Very interesting article touching on the importance of considering blood pressure when it comes to cardiovascular health! #BIOM 4180

[Maura @Maura66734967]

The United States seems to be moving in the right direction with increase in exercise and decrease in smoking yet Cardiovascular is still on the rise. This article is a good read to see why that may be! #biom4180

The anticipated rise in maternal heat exposure as a result of global warming may result in an increase in infants born with congenital heart disease. It is not only our planet that is at risk but the health of future generations. #BIOM4180

Ya "minor" car trouble...okay then.

[Alex Wilcox @MonorailDriver]

My sister @wilcoxh11 and brother @camthewilcox were on their way to see Trevor Noah with me here in Ottawa when they had some minor car trouble on the 401... Luckily, they still made it in time

[wilcoxh @wilcoxh11]

As a music minor I love finding articles and areas of scientific research that relate music to health and disease. Here is a brief article about how music may affect your heart health for the better, so cool! #BIOM4180

[wilcoxh @wilcoxh11]

This is so cool! It would be interesting to see what the results would be for a different study population.

[Emilie Nicholl @EmilieNicholl]

How many push ups can you do? ... A new way to assess risk for cardiovascular disease. #biom4180

#biom4180 Really interesting read on ambient noise and the influence it may have on heart disease. May be something to take into account when looking at future careers! Will be very interesting to see future research published on this topic.
