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.
Doctor Warrick Bishop is a cardiologist, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network. He aims to help people live as well as possible for as long as possible.
Heart disease is a significant problem in Australia, with over 20 people dying from heart disease every day. Doctor Bishop's podcast aims to help people understand how blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, and general health literacy can help prevent heart disease.
Warfarin is a drug used to thin the blood, and it is commonly used in cardiology. Warfarin works by blocking vitamin K1, which is involved in the liver synthesis of proteins that trigger a response in the setting of a potential threat to blood loss and drive formation of a clot. Warfarin can be interfered with or have interactions with other drugs, which can lead to dangerous levels of internal bleeding. Patients on Warfarin should be aware of potential interactions, side effects, and consequences of new medications.
It is essential to carry a list of medications with you to provide good quality medical care.
Finally, Doctor Bishop encourages people to check their risk of heart attack and understand more about precision around that.
