Social Media in Cardiology: A Race against Time

Human beings need social interactions to maintain a healthy life and mind. Letters are the earliest methods of communicating across great distances delivered by hand from one person to another. Social media use contribute to enviromental and genetic factors. The sharing of medical scientific information is moving from on-site presentations to digital online publication (webinars, etc.). In todays world, the first European supercomputers will support researchers, industry and bussines in developing new applications in domains such as personalized medicine, bio- engineering, drug and material design. The ideal platform for this development is social media, and the leader in this form of communication is the field of cardiology. The patients are very active on social media, and the numbers of electronic patients continues to grow. The seniors go online, more than young people, every single day and more than half of these seniors go online, in order to access health information. On the other hand patients can be harmed by misinformation or by misplaced trust. These effects will contribute to a better understanding of potential benefits and challenges for both patients and healthcare professionals. Great potential for use of social media are recognized by healthcare providers, medical institutions, medical societies, scientific journals and clinicians in order to improve health outcomes. Social media in cardiovascular care should be used like: engaging directly with patients about a particular disease process, treatment options, and cardiovascular care, it should be provided generally and not specific to a particular patient ; provide timely and credible information and disease-speicific education to patients as well as colleagues ; share medical information and disease-specific knowledge with colleagues around the world, develop a network to engage with colleagues and discuss best practices ; market- share your expertise and abilities with the world, establish a national/international reputation and influence policy and practice guidelines. 22 Social media have positive impact in both the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Social media opens the opportunity for fast- sharing of information. There are some points that we have to keep in mind when using social media: best practice, strive accuracy, never identify a patient, ask permission, assume beneficence, be respectful. The future of cardiovascular care will be transformed by advances in artificial intelligence, digital health technology and mobile devices as a means to prevent and treat heart disease. Cardiologists on social media have entire world to discuss new ideas
