Fresh Faces has always been somewhere I've wanted to be, so getting a personal invite means more to me than people know.

After everything I've been through with my heart, I know things could've turned out so differently. But God has carried me through it all. I've missed out on a lot, but I've learned it's HIS timing, not mine. I'm just grateful to still be here playing the game I love. 🏀

Athletes, please don't take your health for granted. Get your hearts checked! ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, @mrgemsinthegym for this opportunity. You don't know how much this means to me.🙏🏾

Wherever you see me, just know God put me there. ✝️

See you in Oakland! 🫡🏁

Women heart health : Menopause and heart disease: it’s one of the most understudied and under estimated risk of heart diseases. There is ample data for both peri and post menopausal state that show a clear correlation with heart disease furthermore the visceral fat storage also has a major shift too. All too often the symptoms or hot flashes are the same as heart disease and the recognition is important

❤️‍🩹👑 THE HEART WARRIOR 👑❤️‍🩹

A FIRST OF ITS KIND! 🫀🔥

Introducing THE HEART WARRIOR, my first full-body designer resin figure, bringing heart disease awareness and the battles of Heart Warriors into the world of collectible art!

👑 FOUNDERS EDITION — LIMITED TO 3!
Only 3 individually numbered, hand-painted resin figures in Cardi’s original signature colorway!

🔥 1 SOLD! ONLY 2 REMAIN! 🔥

Making its debut at my first-ever vendor booth alongside @zeroproductivity at @collectedcon! 🗽

His battle-damaged crown tells a story. Every crack and scar represents years of surgeries, procedures, and battles I’ve faced as a Heart Warrior. A king wears a crown, but a warrior earns his through survival. Scarred, but still standing! 👑❤️‍🩹

“Life, will it take me under? I don’t know.” 🎶

I specifically chose these lyrics from Queens’ finest, @nas , because every Heart Warrior understands the uncertainty of tomorrow. Yet we keep fighting! ❤️

THE FIRST OF MANY! More figures, new colorways, and plenty more to come! 🎨🔥

🙏 SPECIAL THANKS:

🎶 @mosesmixedit at @asylumdistro for creating this incredible track and bringing my vision to life with a little Queens flavor from @nas 🗽

What kills your heart more? 💔 Here’s the final ranking 👇

🏆 1. Smoking: nearly 3× the risk of a heart attack. At 40+ cigarettes a day, it’s 9×.
🥈 2. Chronic stress: 2.7× heart attack risk (work, home, money worries, low mood)
🥉 3. Ultra-processed food: 50% higher risk of dying from heart disease
4. Sleeping under 6 hrs: 48% higher risk of heart disease
5. Alcohol: the more you drink, the higher the risk (about 40% more coronary disease). No amount is “good” for your heart.
6. Sitting all day: 18% higher risk of dying from heart disease, even if you exercise

📌 Ranks 3–5 are very close, so treat them as equally bad.
💡 Remember: the losers in this small game are also harmful for your heart. Losing to smoking doesn’t make them safe.

📖 How to read this: 2× means double the risk. “50% higher” means 1.5 times the risk.

🔍 Not in the video, but you should know:

🚬 Chewing tobacco or gutkha doubles heart attack risk.
💨 Second-hand smoke (22+ hrs a week) raises risk by about 45%.
🍺 Heavy drinking (about 3–4 drinks every day) cuts 4–5 years off your life at age 40.
🩺 Silent drivers: high BP (about 2×) and diabetes (about 2.4×). Get checked even if you feel fine.

➕ These risks add up. Nine risk factors explain about 90% of first heart attacks.

✅ The good news: quitting works. Light smokers return to near-normal risk within 3–5 years of quitting.

⚠️ These numbers come from large published studies, so the ranking is a close approximation, not a head-to-head trial.

👇 Your turn:
💬 Comment which habit you’re quitting first. Make it public, make it real.
📤 Send this to someone who needs to see it: the smoker, the night owl, the stressed-out friend.
🔖 Save it as your reminder.

$When is the right time to put an electrical wire into the heart? CASE: The above visuals are from one of the patients who presented to the ED with sweating, palpitations and syncopal attack. She had high-grade AV block with hemodynamic instability, refractory to initial medical therapy. We started transcutaneous pacing and proceeded to temporary transvenous pacing. After sometime failure of capture was noted. The chest X-ray showed something not so unexpected.. the pacing electrode had advanced into the pulmonary artery. X-ray on the screen shows migrated electrode. There were pacing spikes, but no ventricular capture. Under echocardiographic guidance, we gradually withdrew the catheter. As the electrode returned into the right ventricle, ventricular capture appeared 🌟 The learning point? A pacing wire being inside the heart doesn't mean it will pace. The electrode needs to be positioned against viable ventricular myocardium to achieve capture. Have you ever paced someone's heart?$
