Warrick graduated from the University of Tasmania, School of Medicine, in 1988. He completed his advanced training in cardiology in Hobart, Tasmania, becoming a fellow of the Royal Australian College of Physicians. A number of years ago something incredible, an amazing coincidence, happened that started Doctor Warrick Bishop on the mission to prevent heart attacks rather than try to cure them. He was driving to work one day when he stopped at a commotion by the side of the road. A fun runner had collapsed during a fun run with a heart attack. He helped in his resuscitation only to find out that had seen the very same man two years earlier and reassured him that he was fine. Warrick had missed the chance to make a difference and it nearly cost a life!! . Based on risk calculation and the best practice of the time, he shouldn’t have been at high risk…..but he was! That meant that he had reassured a patient based on treadmill testing, the best care available at the time that he was fine, only to be part of the team that resuscitated that man when he dropped dead during a running race, this was just not good enough, and he asked himself could this be done differently? This important question started him on a journey which meant he was open to looking more closely at new and emerging technology to help in being more precise about risk of heart attack. It became clear to Warrick the more precise we can be in the information we have in regard to a patients heart health and real risk of heart attack, the better we can look after that person, it seems so obvious when you say it like that, but that opportunity is still only new and not broadly utilised in the medical community. read less

EP366: LDL is a Remnant or a Waste Product of Lipid Metabolism

EP366: LDL is a Remnant or a Waste Product of Lipid Metabolism

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 discusses the movement of lipids and lipoprotein particles in the body, emphasizing their role in delivering energy sources. He explains that dietary fats absorbed in the gut form chylomicrons, which enter the bloodstream and release triglycerides to tissues via the enzyme lipoprotein lipase. As triglycerides are removed, these particles become denser and transform into intermediate and low-density lipoproteins (IDL and LDL), which are remnants of energy delivery. The liver produces very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) to perform a similar function.

EP356: Impact of Statins on Ubiquinone or Coenzyme Q 10

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, Warrick Bishop discusses the biochemical processes involved in statin therapy, particularly how it affects cholesterol production. He explains the conversion pathway from acetyl CoA to HMG CoA, mevalonic acid, and ultimately cholesterol.
