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. Doctor Warick Bishop, a cardiologist, author, and keynote speaker, discusses heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF PEF) in this podcast episode featuring Dr. Fiona Foo, a cardiologist in the Sydney Cardiology Group. They delve into HF PEF diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies, focusing on managing blood pressure, weight, and other risk factors like diabetes and kidney disease. They elaborate on medications such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists, which have shown benefits in reducing HF PEF hospitalizations and cardiovascular risks. By emphasizing lifestyle changes and pharmaceutical support, their conversation underscores the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and managing related conditions to reduce the risk of heart failure. It's a comprehensive discussion aimed at empowering listeners to prioritize heart health and make informed choices.
