Hi, I’m Dr. Warrick Bishop and welcome to my consulting room. Today I'd like to talk a little bit more about atrial fibrillation and one of the things that people often ask is "who gets it?." Well, men and women get it. Men - probably slightly more if you look at the numbers.
Women interestingly when they suffer the condition run a higher risk of complication. So although there are more men in numbers actually suffer with atrial fibrillation, women have a higher rate of complication and therefore are impacted equally. This is particularly the case as people get older because one of the things that we see with atrial fibrillation is an increasing incidence of the condition as people age. We do see a genetic predisposition and there are certain families where a genetic link can have a significant up regulation of the likelihood of someone within their family developing that condition.
This is not the most common situation but it certainly is important to be aware of. When we think about the things that are likely to increase the likelihood of atrial fibrillation, then we can think of “aetiologies” or causes that impact the structure and function of the atrium, the top chamber f the heart. Simple things like high blood pressure where the back pressure has a stretching effect on the atrium, over time will change the shape of the atrium and by changing the shape of the atrium, increase the likelihood of developing an abnormal rhythm within.
The change of shape is often associated with scarring - microscopic scarring nonetheless but scarring that affects the way that electricity flows through the atrium and again starts to push that risk of developing atrial fibrillation up. So age, with a little bit of micro scarring, general wear and tear with time, high blood pressure leading to pressures affecting the atrium. The valves being abnormal can also have an effect on the pressures within the heart and so abnormality of the valves and how they work can lead to back pressures that again impact on the atrium and therefore the structure and subsequently the function. Of course things like cardiac failure or abnormality if the muscle of the heart can also be implicated and associated with an increased likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation.
So be aware of atrial fibrillation and who gets it, I hope that all make sense. Thank you very much for your time. You have been

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 discusses various topics related to heart health in this episode. He talks about coenzyme Q10 and how exercise can help increase levels of it, even for those taking statins which are known to lower Q10. He also discusses the drug metformin, how it is commonly used for diabetes but is being studied for other potential benefits like reducing cancer and Alzheimer's risk, though these benefits seem mostly applicable for those who are overweight or prediabetic.
The podcast aims to educate listeners about lifestyle factors like weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure that can impact heart health. Dr. Bishop encourages listeners to join his Healthy Heart Network for support and information on improving heart health and reducing heart attack risk.
Takeaways:
• Statins can lower coenzyme Q10 levels in the body and muscle, which some suggest may contribute to statin side effects like muscle aches and pains.
• A study found that while statin use lowers muscle CoQ10 levels, levels did not differ between those with and without statin side effects.
• The study showed that exercise training increased muscle CoQ10 levels across statin users and non-users, and may help counteract oxidative stress from statins.
• Metformin is commonly used to treat diabetes by reducing insulin resistance and lowering blood sugar levels.
• Some research suggests metformin may reduce cancer and Alzheimer's risk by lowering insulin and glucose levels.
• Metformin is also used to treat conditions related to insulin resistance like PCOS, gestational diabetes, and weight gain from antipsychotics.
• Most of metformin's benefits seem to be in overweight, pre-diabetic individuals by reducing hyperinsulinemia.
• The podcast discusses increasing heart health through understanding risk factors like blood pressure, weight, cholesterol.
• It encourages exercise and reviews studies on supplements like CoQ10 and drugs like statins and metformin.
• The host, Dr. Bishop, is a cardiologist who founded the Healthy Heart Network to help people reduce heart attack risk.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale. If you like this podcast, I would be honoured by a 5-star review and appreciate if you let your friends and family know about this podcast; you may even save the life of someone you love!
