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. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses women's heart health with guest Dr. Fiona Foe, highlighting the under-recognized risks and nuances for women in developing cardiovascular disease. They cover traditional risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes, emphasizing that these factors are often more problematic in women. Specific risk factors for women include adverse pregnancy outcomes, autoimmune diseases, breast cancer treatment implications, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. They stress the importance of recognizing these risks, getting heart health checks, and being proactive in prevention. Dr. Bishop also mentions a virtual platform for easy access to calcium scoring for arterial imaging as a preventive measure against coronary artery disease.
