Personal Letter from Doctor Warrick Bishop

Well, thank you for getting this far in your journey about heart attack risk and precision around your own heart attack risk. I'm going to tell you a bit about the Virtual Heart Scan consultation I've put together and why it may be of benefit to you. I've written a few points out. I don't want to miss any of them, because they're all pretty important. We've got a summary list below anyway, if I do miss any and if you want to check them out again for yourself. 

Well, first of all, on drawing from 10 years of experience of scanning nearly 3000 patients to pull together this Virtual Heart Scan and distil the essence of what I've learned, which you'll get the advantage of.

Remember, most local doctors and many cardiologists won't have had anywhere near that experience in recommending, interpreting, and acting on the results of CT imaging of the heart. So I believe I'm offering you experience that you will find it hard to find anywhere else. One of the other advantages of the Virtual Heart Scan is that it's going to save you time and money.

You don't have to leave work to go and see your local doctor or a cardiologist. You can do this at your own time; after hours, on the weekend, on your lunch break, whenever suits you. You don't need to pay for a consult with your local doctor. You don't need to pay for a consult with a cardiologist. You don't even need to find a park.

This is convenient and geared up to help you. I've developed my own approach to the language and description on the findings. I can't go into too much detail about that because it's a little bit technical, but the point of it is that I'm very careful and precise about that language to make sure that the best information from that scan is relayed back to you and the doctor who's going to be acting on that scan. It's really important. 

We also include as part of the Virtual Heart Scan consultation package, a free ebook and audiobook for my best selling book "Know Your Real Risk of Heart Attack",  And lastly, we organize your referral for a CT scan with directions to the local CT provider anywhere in Australia.

I'll also mention that if you're interested, I will offer those who are interested, the opportunity for me to personally look at your scan and provide you with a personalized, short video of exactly what I found and what my recommendations would be based on your heart scan findings, and your own characteristics that you've entered into your risk calculator score, plus any of the enhancers that may be relevant. More on that later. 

I really hope the virtual heart scan is something that is helpful for you if you choose to do it. If not, that's absolutely great either way. Thank you so much for getting this far and genuinely having an interest in your own heart health.

What's My Real Risk of Heart Attack?

Within cardiology terminology, we define the risk of a coronary artery event as “low”, “intermediate” or “high”. A low risk is considered a less than 10 percent chance of a coronary event within 10 years. A high risk is considered a greater than 20 percent chance of an event within 10 years. An intermediate risk is between 10 and 20 percent risk of an event within 10 years.

This means that, if we were to take a group of 100 people who were high-risk and follow them for 10 years, 20 or more of those people would have a coronary event or symptom.

But you still don't know precisely which group you're in!

About the Founder - Doctor Warrick Bishop

Practicing Cardiologist, #1 Best Selling Author, and Keynote Speaker

Doctor Warrick Bishop is a practicing cardiologist, best selling author, and keynote speaker and who has a passion to help prevent heart disease on a global scale.

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.

What is a "CT Heart Scan" ?
It’s fast, accurate and safe

Cardiac CT scanning is a fast, non-invasive CT imaging scan that provides you with a complete and accurate assessment of the coronary arteries of your heart. It’s a fast, accurate and safe way to exclude the presence of coronary artery disease or provide you with the earliest possible evidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). This is the term given to atherosclerosis, a hardening of the coronary arteries as a result of a build-up of plaque inside the artery wall. Cardiac CT scanning combines the expertise and knowledge of a Radiologist and a Cardiologist working as a specialist team.

How Cardiac CT Scanning Works

The latest technology allows doctors and specialists to see what previously could not be seen. Cardiac CT scanning uses a fast CT scanner to take a series of cross-section X-Ray pictures of your heart. These individual X-Rays are then combined to create a complete 3D picture of your heart and all its arteries. From a Cardiologist and Radiologist’s perspective, viewing this 3D picture is like seeing inside your body.

A key element to any new approach to primary prevention and risk assessment is the availability of, and accessibility to, imaging the coronary arteries using CT scanning. This is a non-invasive, safe way to evaluate the build-up of cholesterol, or atheroma, to give an indication of the health of the coronary arteries in an asymptomatic person. Central to this, we must understand that a build-up of cholesterol within the arteries generally leads to associated deposits of calcium in the artery, so that calcium can be used as an indicator of plaque build-up.
