#Interdisciplinary PhD at Egid: develop #AI models to evaluate #cardiac (from ECG), #epigenetic (from DNAm), and #metabolomic (from UHPLC-HRMS) ages. Colab between Marc Dumas and @nicgambarde in Philippe Froguel’s research unit. Contact us for more info. https://tinyurl.com/AIECGmet
How is the length of actin-based thin filaments in the human #heart maintained? This study shows that #cardiac leiomodin regulates the length of thin filaments by protecting newly formed units during systole & promoting #actin polymerization during diastole #plosbiology https://plos.io/3CtG84I
An #OpenSource #cardiac measurement tool with a #RaspberryPi (Pico W) : Milos Rasic did this "Open Cardiography Signal Measuring Device" and plublish all the plans and files on his Git repository (and 3D printing files on Printables).
The device can record, store and analyze data from an arm cuff, stethoscope, electrocardiograph and pulse oximeter … can be used for monitoring blood pressure.

"Consistent with prior studies, COVID-19 at all levels of severity was associated with significantly higher risk of MI [myocardial infarction, known commonly as a heart attack], stroke, or all-cause mortality over 1003 days [2 and 3/4 years] of follow-up."
Masking and keeping vaccinations current are good for your heart.

This article describes an experiment testing how the body reacts to sitting in a cold room of 10C. One thing it affects is blood flow to the #brain along with slower reasoning.
I'd like to see this repeated in offices where the a/c is kept so cool that people need to wear sweaters and their hands are cold.
Story from @BBCNews #medicine #medmastodon @medmastodon #physiology #cardiac #neurology
A troubled #heart #pump that has now been linked to 49 deaths
and dozens of injuries worldwide will be allowed to remain in use,
despite the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to issue an alert about the risk that it could puncture a wall of the heart.
The tiny #Impella pumps, about the width of a candy cane, are threaded through blood vessels to take over the work of the heart in patients who are undergoing complex procedures or have life-threatening conditions.
The F.D.A. said the manufacturer of the device, #Abiomed, should have notified the agency more than two years ago, when the company first posted an update on its website about the perforation risk.
Such a notice, the F.D.A. added, would have led to a much broader official agency warning to hospitals and doctors.
The alert is the latest of concerns raised in recent years about the deadly side effects of #cardiac #devices, especially those that take over the heart’s role in circulating blood.
It is the third major F.D.A. action for an Impella device in a year.
#OpenSource approach to affordable 3-D printed #heart models:
-personalized #medicine
-most extensive series of #3Dprinted #cardiac models published to date
-production cost: ~€85.7 / model
