EP373: Coffee CACs and Questions

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 addresses various health-related questions from listeners, starting with atrial fibrillation and the comparison between AV nodal ablation and drug treatment. He explains that drugs are generally preferred for rate control in atrial fibrillation, with ablation considered a last resort. He also discusses cholesterol management, particularly the effects of statins on coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K2, indicating that current studies show statins do not significantly alter coenzyme Q10 levels in muscles. Additionally, he touches on the pleiotropic effects of bempedoic acid, noting its potential similarities to statins but with less potency in lowering LDL cholesterol.
