Interested participants can enroll online via a Twitter link. Patients will consent to having their electronic health records accessed to validate clinical data. Participants will complete short surveys. The project Twitter account would follow tweeters with high impact CV messages and tweet daily high impact and accurate CV health messages (identified in aim 3). Participants will follow the study team \& may receive daily private heart health messages via Twitter. This would allow participants to see CV health messages posted in the words and context of patients that may be similar to them, participate in online CV health discussions, and access CV health networks that they may not otherwise know about. Participants will also tweet heart health messages weekly.
