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, Doctor Warrick Bishop, a practicing cardiologist, discusses various interventions and technologies used to help people with heart failure.
One of the tools used is a biventricular pacing device, which synchronizes both sides of the heart to bring it back to normal function. Defibrillators are also used to keep people alive in certain situations.
Another technology is the ventricular pump assist device, which is a small pump that helps the heart function properly while it heals or while waiting for a heart transplant. Heart transplantation is a major procedure, but there are also future technologies being developed, such as stem cells and xenotransplantation, which involves growing hearts in other animals that can be transplanted into humans. However, lifestyle modifications, exercise, and sensible diet are still the mainstays of cardiac failure treatment. Doctor Bishop emphasizes the importance of education for patients to understand their heart health and receive the best care.

Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
