Heat can make people seriously ill. Knowing the signs saves lives.
⚠️Here’s what to watch out for:
Headache, dizziness, nausea, cramps, palpitations, excessive sweating or unusual tiredness.
Heat and air pollution together hit harder and for people with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, the effects can be faster and more severe.
If you or someone you know starts to experience signs of heat stress:
❎ Slow down or stop activity, move to a cooling area, drink water. Seek help if your symptoms don’t improve.
🚨 Look for danger signs: severe headache, confusion, agitation, collapse, seizures, or not responding normally. This counts as a health emergency.
👀 If someone near you looks unwell, don’t leave them alone.
Move them to a cooling area immediately, and call for first aid or alert event staff.
🌡️ Check weather forecast and air quality levels.
Share to help more people recognize the signs.

New study in LMD: ABEI-based CA125 immunoassay evaluated in 108 HFrEF patients.
✅Strong agreement with reference method
✅Higher CA125 → lower LVEF, higher galectin-3/sST2, worse survival
ABEI-based CA125 may aid risk assessment & treatment monitoring in heart failure

#VitaminD deficiency, more than a metabolic issue. Emerging evidence suggests a link between low vitamin D and uterine fibroids.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is often called “the silent condition” because you may not feel it, but your heart does. 📈 #Hypertension puts extra strain on the heart, which over time can lead to heart failure.
Hypertension is a leading cause of heart failure; they are connected conditions 🔗.
Know your blood pressure numbers and encourage someone you care about to do the same.
May is Heart Failure Awareness Month ❤️, led by the Heart Failure Patient Network at @GlobalHeartHub — the international alliance of heart patient organisations. 🌐 Learn more: globalhearthub.org/heart-fai… It’s also #MayMeasurementMonth, a global blood pressure screening awareness event.

🆕 Optimal lifelong roadmap post-ACS
A new clinical consensus statement from the European association of preventive cardiology outlines a structured, lifelong care pathway after ACS.
From acute care ➡️ long-term prevention
Bridging gaps, reducing disparities, improving outcomes.

💬 Viewpoint by Canio Martinelli, MD, MSc, Vincenzo Carnevale, PhD, MSc, Alfredo Ercoli, MD, PhD, and Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD: #AI yields higher empathy scores in text assessments but cannot perform clinical examination or patient care. Clinician oversight and presence remain essential in #Medicine.

Personalised care and empowered citizens are key to improving #HeartFailure outcomes.
This #EuropeanPatientsRightsDay, we call for policy to ensure access to high-quality HF care for all. hfpolicynetwork.org/
H + A = B
Human + Artificial = Beneficial Intelligence
AI won’t improve patient outcomes alone.
--> Value = Human judgment + AI power
From automation → augmentation
From data → decision
🧠 AI informs
❤️ Humans decide
