Cannabis ≠ harmless? Excited to share that our paper is now published @JAMACardio! Our findings suggest an association between both marijuana smoking and THC edible use and vascular endothelial dysfunction. #CANDIDEStudy @UCSFCardiology @mattspringer63 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…
.@LeilaMohMDPhD and collaborators performed a cross-sectional study and found that chronic cannabis smoking and THC ingestion were associated with #endothelial dysfunction similar to that observed in tobacco smokers. 🚬 @JAMACardio | bit.ly/4jCB9Ou

I couldn’t join the #AHA24 meeting this year to celebrate its 100 years of incredible science and service, but I was there in spirit! Huge thanks to my amazing colleague for bringing back goodies to ease the FOMO. Looking forward to next year! @American_Heart @AHAScience

Dr. Nanette Wenger dispelled the myth that heart disease is a man's disease. She spent seven decades convincing researchers to take a deeper look at women’s heart health. And she still has something to say about it. #AHABoldHearts

Definition of racism… Are you still a Trump supporter? Shame on you…
"Black guy carving watermelons." "Puerto Rico is a floating island of garbage." "Latinos love making babies, they don't pull out... they just come inside." Two things: If you still support Trump you're a racist piece of shit. This guy may not get out of New York alive.
