Cardiology professionals have used social media platforms such as Twitter to gain exposure to new research, network with experts, share opinions, and engage in scientific debates. The power of social media to communicate openly, with wide-reaching access worldwide, and at a rate faster than ever before makes it a formidable force and voice. However, evolving individual and institutional use has resulted in uncertainty for all parties on how to optimally advance this newer digital frontier. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to: 1) introduce the basics of social media usage (with the focus on Twitter); 2) provide perspective on best social media practices in academic and clinical cardiovascular medicine; and 3) present a vision for social media and the future of cardiovascular medicine.
心脏病学专业人士已经在使用社交媒体平台，如 Twitter，来接触新的研究、与专家建立联系、分享观点并进行科学辩论。社交媒体的力量在于其能够以比以往任何时候都更快的速度进行公开、广泛的全球交流，这使其成为一股强大的力量和声音。然而，个人和机构使用方式的不断发展，使得各方对于如何最佳地推进这一新的数字前沿都感到不确定。因此，本文的目的是：1）介绍社交媒体使用的基础知识（重点是 Twitter）；2）提供学术和临床心血管医学中最佳社交媒体实践的观点；3）为社交媒体和心血管医学的未来提出展望。
