"I had a heart attack when I was 33 - not an age that one usually associates with heart attacks. I am Ram and I am going to tell you what it was like to have a heart attack.

I am in a typical corporate job, and it had been a year of many changes; my wife delivered a baby, and with that came a huge change in our regular schedule.
I was constantly feeling restless and lethargic.

I attributed it all to a lack of proper sleep, given that there was a new baby in the house.
Not for once did I stop to think that this could be something else.
It was a Monday morning, and I woke up as usual and started getting ready for work.

I'm thrilled to share our story about the cellular crosstalk in the developing heart, regulated by TGF-β from the endothelial cells. Below more details and some beautiful #zebrafish hearts ⬇️. Coincidentally, it was out @elife exactly on #WorldHeartDay! ❤️elifesciences.org/articles/57603
When we mutated tgfbr1/alk5 in zebrafish, we found a very specific dilation of the cardiac outflow tract (OFT), resembling mammal aortic aneurysms...while all the other vessels and the heart looked unaffected. Occasionally, we even found ruptures and holes in the OFT!
In contrast with the literature on aneurysms and on TGF-β (focus on smooth muscle cells), we observed that the earliest defect in the increased proliferation of endothelial cells, when we did not even observe any morphological defect yet. Is it here where Alk5 plays a role?

According to @WHO, heart disease is the number 1 cause of death worldwide for both men & women of all races. Heart disease puts people at higher risk of complications from COVID-19, but the virus can also trigger heart issues.

Here's how 👇 #WorldHeartDay
@WHO In a study of 191 patients from Wuhan, China, 8% of hospitalised COVID-19 patients had cardiovascular disease.
35% of the patients who died from COVID-19 had a history of high blood pressure and 17% had a history of coronary heart disease aje.io/55aev #WorldHeartDay

@WHO This suggests that underlying heart disease can increase the severity of symptoms for those who catch COVID-19, resulting in a higher death rate.
There are three main risk groups these heart patients might fall in to: aje.io/we9zw #WorldHeartDay

Heart is considered to be one of the most important vital organs in human body by #Ayurveda. It is called as 'Marma’ (vital point)
Susruta mentions shape of heart (along with the aorta) is just like a lotus bud. Was that precision possible without dissecting cadaver?
