Abstract

This study illustrates the emerging role of Twitter as a medium by which cardiovascular health information and education can be disseminated quickly, efficiently, and on a worldwide scale. Our study illustrates that Twitter not only encompasses health professionals but also professional organizations such as the American College of Cardiology, key journals, and patients themselves. Our current findings support the notion that Twitter can facilitate rapid and expansive dissemination of information.
