Heart Attacks are Preventable!
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, a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale. If you like this podcast I would be honoured with a 5-star review and let your friends and family know, you may even save the life of someone you love!

EP287: Heart Attack vs. Heart Failure and the Role of AI
Heart attack occurs when an artery to the heart is suddenly blocked, depriving the heart muscle of blood and oxygen. Heart failure means the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, causing fatigue and fluid buildup in the lungs and legs. Early detection of heart failure is important so medication can be started promptly. New AI tools show promise in speeding up diagnosis of heart conditions but privacy concerns must be addressed before widespread adoption. While AI could save doctors time, questions remain about data ownership and protection of patient information. While AI may revolutionize medicine, proper safeguards must be put in place to ensure patient privacy and integrity of care. Read more

EP286: Heart Anatomy and Function
The heart is the most important organ as it pumps blood to supply oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide waste. Blood returns to the heart through veins and is pumped to the lungs by the right side of the heart. In the lungs, blood releases carbon dioxide and takes up oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood then enters the left side of the heart which pumps it to the body tissues. The heart has valves to ensure blood flows in one direction. Each heart cell can generate its own electrical signal which coordinates the heart's pumping action. The electrical system acts like a timing mechanism for the heart's pumping function. Read more
EP285: Heart Related Problems and Symptoms
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. This episode discusses heart-related symptoms and how to think of the heart like a car engine with an electrical system, pistons and valves, and fuel lines. Problems with the electrical system can cause palpitations or blackouts. Issues with the pistons and valves often lead to shortness of breath and swelling. Blocked fuel lines can cause chest pain or angina due to lack of blood flow. Women tend to experience more shortness of breath rather than chest pain from coronary artery disease. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately. Read more
EP284: Risk Factors
This episode discusses strategies to prevent heart attacks and improve heart health. Many heart attacks could be avoided if people knew how to reduce their risk. The host, Doctor Warrick Bishop, talks about risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, age, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, depression and socioeconomic status that can increase the risk of heart disease and heart attacks. Other heart conditions like valve problems and electrical issues in the heart's atria or ventricles can also have genetic risk factors or arise due to infections, alcohol use and high blood pressure. Leading a healthy lifestyle with a good diet, exercise and managing stress can help reduce heart disease risk and enable people to live longer. Read more
EP283: Heart Disease - What is it?
This episode discusses ways to prevent heart attacks by reducing risk factors. Heart disease commonly refers to problems with arteries like atherosclerosis where cholesterol builds up in the arteries and can rupture causing a heart attack. Electrical issues, valve problems, heart muscle inflammation, infections, toxins and drugs can also cause heart disease. Amyloid protein can infiltrate the heart and disrupt its function. Read more

EP273: Aging and Red Wine
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 creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Doctor Warwick Bishop discusses two papers related to aging and red wine in this podcast. The first paper, published in 2013, identified molecular indicators important in assessing aging in mammals. Since then, approximately 300,000 articles have been published on the topic. The Mediterranean diet is recommended for slowing down aging, and eating nuts, fibre-rich foods, and a diet low in fatty meats and sugars is associated with less chronic disease. The second paper discusses a study on the effects of red wine on gut microbiota in men with coronary artery disease. The study found that red wine consumption possibly improved antioxidant levels in the blood, but there is no clear evidence that alcohol consumption is beneficial in this space. Read more
