Comic. PERSON 1: That movie was so good. Maybe even the greatest movie of all time question mark? PERSON 2: Yeah comma, but you said that about italics *Charlie’s Angels Colon: Full Throttle* period. Paragraph break. I question your judgement period. [caption] When people say “question mark” out loud as a rhetorical device, it always makes me want to say my other punctuation and formatting too.

We found that aldosterone induces atrial myopathy and increases the risk for #Afib, likely involving atrial stretch caused by LV diastolic dysfunction www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

#Aldosterone alters cardiomyocyte states and changes cell-cell interactions, finally leading to atrial myopathy and atrial fibrillation.
