As a doctor passionate about heart health, I am excited to share with you some vital insights. Our recent analysis of over 1,400 health assessments has uncovered surprising trends in heart risks, prompting us to act for your well-being. These findings highlight trends in heart risks that are crucial for everyone to understand.

We know it's a huge problem and turns up everywhere. It makes the front page of magazines. It's in social media and articles come up regularly on the news. So we know obesity is really a crisis. It is linked to type two diabetes. It is linked to cardiovascular disease. It is closely linked to high blood pressure, and clearly, it's a growing problem.

I am very excited to announce the World-Wide release of my new #1 International Selling Book "Cardiac Failure Explained: A Guide to Living with Heart Disease" The human heart is one of the most powerful muscles in our body. It can pump blood through your entire circulatory system and do it more than 100,000 times a day! Cardiac failure is when the heart cannot effectively pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, leading to dizziness, shortness of breath, swelling and fatigue. By arming yourself with knowledge about strategies for both short-term relief and long-term prevention, we hope to empower you to take charge of your own care so that you can live well despite having this condition.

I'm hoping to cover some questions that are coming from the group. I'm looking to share with you a little bit of teaching and some stuff to think about. And I'm also going to share with you a patient case that just popped up this week. So tonight, I'd like to start off by talking about fats and the role of fats in coronary artery disease, which is really common and people constantly ask me about, "what should I eat, doc and gee, if I've got coronary disease, should I cut down fat or should I increase fat? And what if I'm Keot or what if I'm not? And what if my carbs are down and is olive oil good or avocados good? And so forth.

Practising Cardiologist and author Dr. Warrick Bishop explains when too much exercise can put strain on your heart and the difference between isotonic and isometric exercise.

In my practice as a cardiologist, many of my patients are unaware that not all types of exercise are created equal. It turns out that some exercises are better than others... http://www.drwarrickbishop.com/

You may be surprised that fitness is no guarantee of heart health and that arteries in your heart are in good shape. For instance, in recent years, I had an extremely fit patient come to see me for a stress test. At that time, he was training for an endurance event and by all accounts, he was in fantastic shape. Several years earlier we had scanned his heart and we found that he had a build-up of cholesterol in his arteries for which he was already receiving therapy.
