About this listen

 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 heart health and two specific conditions: Commotio Cordis and nocturnal leg cramps. Commotio Cordis, a rare but serious condition caused by blunt force trauma to the chest, can lead to cardiac arrest, particularly in young athletes. It is essential to have automated external defibrillators available at sporting events to improve survival chances. In contrast, nocturnal leg cramps are common, affecting around 40% of adults over 50, and can be linked to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and certain medications.
