  • Summary

  • 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, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses the importance of understanding heart health, particularly in relation to heart disease, which is a significant issue in Australia. He emphasizes that many heart attacks could be prevented with better knowledge of blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol. The episode focuses on advanced imaging technologies used to detect plaque in arteries, specifically intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These methods allow for detailed internal imaging of arteries, helping interventional cardiologists accurately place stents and assess plaque characteristics.
