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, explains what cardiac failure is and how it manifests in patients.
The symptoms of cardiac failure include shortness of breath and swelling, which are caused by the heart not pumping properly. The body's response to this is to retain fluid, which can overload the heart even further. There are two main ways that the heart can fail: reduced compression and failure to relax properly. Treatment for cardiac failure involves supporting the heart's function and removing fluid.
It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid cardiac failure in the first place. Doctor Bishop's website, drwarrickbishop.com, provides the latest news on heart disease.
