Our tweetorial explains the findings⬇️👩‍🏫

@ESC_Journals @escardio #EPeeps (1/9)
#Atrial #myocytes were isolated from patients with & without #AtrialFibrillation

Sex differences in #risk factors & therapies were considered in the analysis (2/9)
To explore #SexDifferences in the mechanisms of #Afib, calcium handling was examined & calcium handling proteins investigated (3/9)

You may have heard about the viral abstract from the @AHAScience saying cardiac risks increase after Covid vax. Note- not everything the AHA produces is a well reviewed clinical practice guideline or meta-analysis. Lets think this through.
If you do a test looking for inflammation after a procedure designed to produce an immune response… you will find… inflammation. The results in the abstract do not mean what you think they do.
The author is a cardiac surgeon turned holistic health practitioner. He had a cohort of patients who had PULS blood tests pre vaccination done at baseline (probably in his clinic based upon the abstract). He got some patients vaccinated, and then he repeated the PULS afterwards.

Endothelial-derived microvesicles play a pathogenic role in vascular #inflammation, causing #endothelial barrier dysfunction by impairing adherens junctions and activating #neutrophils

#Microvesicles (MV) are formed from the outward blebbing of the plasma membrane and carry a diverse cargo that regulate multiple processes.

During #inflammation these are produced by activated endothelial cells and released into the #circulation. TEM image of plasma MVs: (2/8) Image
In this study the authors investigated whether endothelial-derived MVs (EC-MVs) contribute to #vascular dysfunction during inflammation.

The authors used an animal model of #sepsis (CLP) and found that this increased EC-MV production (3/8) Image
