Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.

EP374: If It's Not My Genes, Then What Is Putting Up My Cholesterol?

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network.

In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses the factors influencing elevated cholesterol levels, focusing on various medical conditions and medications. He explains that elevated cholesterol can be genetic, with polygenic causes being more common than the monogenic condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia. Key conditions that can raise cholesterol include hypothyroidism, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, Cushing's syndrome, and menopause, each affecting lipid profiles differently.

EP375: What is the Glycocalyx?

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses the glycocalyx, a protective, microscopic lining within the endothelial layer of arteries. This layer plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of endothelial cells, which line blood vessels. Damage to the glycocalyx can expose these cells to harmful blood contents, potentially leading to conditions like coronary artery disease. Dr. Bishop highlights that turbulent blood flow, particularly at branch points in arteries, can disrupt the glycocalyx and contribute to plaque formation.

EP376: Dr. Foo and Cardiovascular Risk For Women—Really Important Episode

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses cardiovascular health, particularly focusing on women's heart health, with guest Dr. Fiona Foo, an interventional cardiologist. They highlight the alarming statistic that coronary heart disease is the second leading cause of death among women in Australia, often underrecognised compared to other health issues like breast cancer. The conversation covers traditional risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and how some of these pose a greater risk for women. They also delve into sex-specific risk factors, including complications from pregnancy and autoimmune diseases, which can significantly increase cardiovascular risk.
