FULL COLOR EDITION What if you could plan NOT to have a heart attack? Dr Warrick Bishop, a widely renowned practicing cardiologist, is on a mission to help patients do just that. He's spoken on TEDx stages and sat on countless interviews, including 60 Minutes and ABC Radio, delivering eye-opening insights that have enabled patients to have meaningful conversations about their heart health with their doctors and valuable information on life-changing technological advancements that could impact patients' health. A number of years ago, a patient Dr. Warrick treated, wasn't informed about heart attack prevention... He died from a heart attack, on the side of the road, and Dr. Warrick felt responsible for his death which ultimately leads to his work in heart attack prevention. Dr. Warrick was driving to work one day when he stopped at some commotion by the side of the road. A runner had collapsed on the road from a heart attack. Dr. Warrick tried to resuscitate the man but he died. After trying to resuscitate this man, Dr. Warrick realized, in shock and horror that this was a patient that he had spoken with a few years back. A couple of years before this incident, Dr. Warrick had reassured this man, after a series of tests, that he didn't have to worry about a heart attack. In hindsight, Dr. Warrick realized that he could have saved this mans life if he had to know more about heart attack prevention. This experience started him on a journey to inform and help the world prevent heart attacks... By using both advocacy and the latest in emerging technologies for earlier detection and assessment of those at risk for heart attack. If you or someone you know is near the age of 40, have a family history of heart attacks, or are worried about a heart attack then you should read this book... It just may save your life or the life of somebody you love.

Working predominately in private practice. In 2009 Warrick undertook training in CT Cardiac Coronary Angiography, being the first cardiologist in Tasmania with this specialist recognition. Doctor Warrick Bishop shares his unique perspective on using non-invasive imaging technology and provides a concise plan in preventing a heart attack.

A number of years ago something incredible, an amazing coincidence, happened that started Warrick 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. Building on that success, Warick has decided to create a program to help people manage their risks better. It's called "The Healthy Heart Network." With The Healthy Heart Network he can now help reduce heart disease as a major killer in the world
