Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) has been a hot topic at #AHAEpiLifestyle2023. Our recent paper compares concordance in cardiovascular health (CVH) status across LE8 and the former CVH construct, Life’s Simple 7, among 4-to-6-year-old children. Read here ➡️authors.elsevier.com/a/1gdmf3k7xFth…

Now Dr. Bige Ozkan from Johns Hopkins University is presenting on proteomic signatures of obesity-related heart failure with data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study! @BigeOzkanMD #EpiLifestyle23 @JHUWelchCenter @JohnsHopkinsEPI

The largest study on childhood obesity shows that there are some shared genetic factors with adult obesity, but also some important time-dependent factors. The trends are alarming! ⚠️#NHLBITraineeSession @AHAMeetings #EPILifestyle23

Let's get to the meat of it! Here you go from @catepward and the team @Stanford on vegan vs omnivore diets in twins, primary and secondary outcomes: in general, no significant differences were found in this study, but outliers and limitations discussed 🥗

Interesting findings about #ACS during the pandemic! Brandon Herbert found there was a decrease in diagnosed events - many questions remain unanswered and I personally saw many 'missed events' in patients who did not come in 🫀#NHLBITraineeSession @ErinMichos #EPILifestyle23

Take-aways from Dr. @BPolanka about the role of disordered eating and prevalent cardiovascular disease in middle-aged adults. Excellent questions again about potential inverse confounding and future directions for incident disease #NHLBITraineeSession @AHAMeetings @AHAScience

Katherine Copp @UMNews discusses the association of serum Magnesium and cardiovascular disease from the #ARIC study. Questions included: what could be the role of RBC-specific Mg and limitations of the dietary FFQ. #NHLBITraineeSession @AHAMeetings @AHAScience #EPILifestyle23

Excellent and important discussion on redlining and heart failure by Dr. Nicole Fields @EmoryUniversity . Such structural racism may serve as residual confounding in other studies and there is much more work to do @AHAScience #EPILifestyle23 @AHAMeetings #NHLBITraineeSession

Thank you for the opportunity to kick-off the #NHLBITraineeSession to discuss how we can use screening mammograms to improve CVD and HF prevention in women! @loridanielsmd @ErinMichos @AHAMeetings @AHAScience @GoRedForWomen #EPILifestyle23

Hello @AHAMeetings #EPILifestyle23 ! Let's learn how to better understand and prevent #CVD! 🫀@ErinMichos @AHA_Research @American_Heart @GoRedForWomen @AHAScience
