[@Bubbagoose18]

Dr Gupta, thank you so, so much for this video. I have an almost lifelong case of Afib, which seems to have gotten worse after every ablation surgery I had (four of them). After two of those surgeries, which obviously never worked, I actually got worse, which eventually resulted in heart failure. For several years I had doctors arguing about whether or not I even had heart failure, even though my cardiologist was treating me for heart failure. Finally, someone decided there was an actual thing called HF-Pef......Finally, finally acknowledging that HF-Pef was not only real heart failure but actually represents more of heart failure than the traditional type. But there was still no medication to help HF-Pef patients. Now there is! I am so hopeful now that this might actually help my symptoms, and maybe make life a little easier! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@wendi2819]

I am HF-pef too. It can make it hard to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Gupta seems to be the only Dr who even addresses it!

I just want to say, for the last 2 weeks, for some reason I’ve had PVCs every 3-5th beat. It has been the worst 2 weeks of my life. I’ve never been more anxious or miserable. Thankfully they’ve subsided today and I’m really hoping they never come back, or at least as bad as this. Dr. Gupta, your videos have helped me get through the last few weeks. Thank you so much for giving us some peace of mind.

[@MrMelvinkennedy1]

And the more anxious it makes you the more they stick around. I know because I'm the same way. I have panick disorder and anxiety disorder and have weeks and even months with ectopic beats every couple beats but once I stop worrying about it I noticed they get less frequent. I also have rbbb that I developed at 27 years old

[@rachelcronin916]

WOW! What timing to come across this video! Feb 10 guy goes into cardiac arrest, shocked 3x, brought back eventually 3x. (Told died 10 mins, 5 mins and a few minutes) VT (V-Tach) for 7 hours, plus awake, alert, responding by eyes open or a hand squeeze or slight head gesture, during the entire ordeal. Both ICU doctors verified what they were seeing was real ie monitor alarms/readings vs patient status. They'd never seen such. At hour 4 the hospital ICU doctors reached outside to a cardiac electrophysiologist who specializes in treating rhythm disorders of the heart, and by hour 7 he was out of VT, because those doctors were told to reverse SOP for heart attack patients. They did a take down and it worked. In a couple days the breathing tube (in this non-aggitated calm 61 year old patient) came out, and in which a balloon pump was put in through groin by cardiac cath lab. They've done double testing to see if he is a candidate for open heart or stent placement / (pacemaker). He is a diabetic (hyperglycemia) with pretty normal Blood Pressure, except for new USA guidelines along with added white coat syndrome which occurs with every doctor except his Primary Care Doctor. We are still awaiting careful Thoracic Cardiac Doctor decision on what the end result will be to rectify his issues, as 6 days later it is still undecided, but hoping for something concrete in the next couple days. After all that, I have done a lot of reading on the studies associated with Farxiga / Dapa-hf and Entresto, of which I've never heard of until your more than informative videos! Thank you for that! But, wondering if anything "new" could be beneficial in respect to the prior mentioned person, that we could talk to his cardio or endocrinologist about, in future?... (Heck at this point they are considering stent, but I think why wait till something happens again and you are perhaps 20 years older and in worse shape, so why not be done with it and have the open heart since the main artery was 100% occluded and the other 2 nearly as much again. I think the number 55 was for the main and 40 was the other two which actually created Collateral Circulation (amazing I must say)! / Arteriogenesis / Fluid Sheer Stress. Patient guessed could have been 1.5 yrs since was heart cleared for last surgery. Fascinating! I'm trying to recall the number count by those whose care he was under at both facilites and stated they had no idea why or how he could even be alive, let alone functioning normally without current impairment. Astonishing journey this week with this person. Hoping the future outcome proves impressive. There were several not so great things but I think the worst was being in VT so incredibly long which I am quite sure had to have had a significant further impact on heart quality which was already obviously somewhat diminished. Almost shocking really!

[@aussiesam01]

Dear Doctor. When I saw the title I hoped that you had good research on diet and lifestyle, not new drugs. Have you seen Ivor Cummins research on the links between sugar and carb intake, and CVD, diabetes, cancers, and alzheimer's? Ivor has a wealth of great information and is well worth listening to.

[@LokeshGidra]

Sir can you please come up with a video on impact of low-carb high-fat diet on cardiovascular health, including hypertension.

[@opal777]

Though I am not in any medical field, out of desperation to get my spiked BP down (meds were not working)...I gave up all sugar sources aside from occasional watermelon or blueberries. Within one week, I lost 10 lbs...BP remained high. After 2 weeks, I lost 5 lbs...bp came down slightly. After 2 1/2 months, I have lost 28 lbs and my bp is normal. My heart rate is in the sixties again. The weird thing is that I had gone vegan about 3 years ago and that was when I gained most of my weight and when my bp started climbing. I still cannot eat meat but eat seafoods occasionally. It just goes to show that veganism isn’t for everyone.

[@LokeshGidra]

@@opal777 I have the same intuition that sugar is the root of all problems, including BP. But if a cardiologist like Dr Sanjay confirms this, then nothing better.

Consult with your physician to get clearance especially if you are on blood thinners.

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

@It's Highway Time Yes, I also add in the acetyl version as well to help with the brain. Dr. Sinatra is definitely the go to doc when it comes to HF and he has documented studies on the supplements we mentioned.

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

@It's Highway Time I've tried R lipoic acid and always makes me feel sick. After doing some research some docs say it causes a release of toxins and you have to use a binder with it or the toxins can float around in the bloodstream and cause adverse effects and/or the toxins get reabsorbed. Have you ever heard of that?

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

@It's Highway Time My doc said I had high levels of lead and arsenic so more than likely why I felt like crap when taking the R lipoic acid.

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

@It's Highway Time Yea, doc put me on a product called Blackbox by QuickSilver and I took it for 30 days. I told him I wanted to try the sauna for 30 days as well and then retest because honestly I don't feel too much a difference after the Blackbox. Still lightheaded, dizzy, and waking up 3-4 times per night. Been going on for the last 6 years. I've also just recently increased my caloric intake and good fats to see if that will help with sleep and being lightheaded. I think my caloric intake was too low because every time I would exercise it would get worse. Just started the increase a couple of days ago. I'm in the health and fitness business for the last 27 years and know a ton about the human body but this has been throwing me for a loop for the last 6 years along with several other doctors I've seen because other than the heavy metal toxicity all other blood markers are perfect.

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

@It's Highway Time Yes, doc wanted to do IV chelation which if I am not mistaken contained EDTA. I was a little nervous about it so wanted to try the blackbox instead. Now I will do sauna and then if blood tests still show high metals I will more than likely do the IV chelation. Dr Garry Gordon has a vitamin C formula that contains EDTA, but my doc said it would take years to get it out of my body compared to IV chelation because it takes so long to get the lead out of the bones. Frustrating for sure.... Appreciate your input.

Boy, the side effects of that medication on me were challenging. Drops blood pressure very much. Abdominal pains. Just pains in your back arms neck dizziness etc. I told her and she said everyone who has heart failure like yours feels like you do coz the heart is bigger than normal. Asking bout the side effects of entresto there was no answer. I hope most wont be like me.

[@redicoverearlychildhood]

Hi Jill I am also trying to avoid medications. And incorporated a few supplements with life style changes.

[@tonygorman9462]

This video would indicate that the root cause is Heart Failure patients that benefit from this use of this game changing drug are consuming too much glucose and therefore, rather that taking a drug they should go on a low carb diet and do moderate exercise., like going for walk after each meal to burn up some of the glucose consumed during the meal. Cardiologist like most medical specialists got to where they are because they are great "rote learning machines", not because they are good at problem solving.

[@joshpembers]

Question ... "second booster" of what ... a Covid 19 vaccine, a seasonal flu vaccine, shingles vaccine, or?

[@keylimepie210]

Hmmm seems to me that the solution would simply be not to consume any sugar, if what you're saying is that this new medicine flushes out glucose from the body.

[@iroulis]

That's because there's no money in not consuming sugar (and carbs in general). Actually, the complete solution (AS IN CURE) is FASTING and FASTING MIMICKING diets (like KETO) since Heart Disease is part of Metabolic Syndrome whose primary symptom's are Obesity and Diabetes. But again, YOU CAN'T SELL FASTING. LDL isn't bad: SUGAR COATED LDL is bad, because the body doesn't recognize the LDL anymore (lost it), and can't use it so the body makes more LDL: Where do you think all that lost LDL winds up? York Cardiology is only in it for themselves. They should move to the US and stop destroying the UK health system.

[@soonilrangoo2972]

Very important information. Thank you Doctor.

[@tmcche7881]

[@lulielawry]

So many people take steroids so I have a question from my recent experience. I had 6 days iv steroids ( 500mg I believe) for autoimmune disease and now over a week later I have developed tachycardia.never had it before. Can iv methylprednisolone and other steroids cause (sinus tachycardia) after you stop taking it?....and will it progress to Afib? Sorry to be cheeky with a question Doc? But its freaking me out!

[@joycejune64]

great news … thanks for sharing it!

My cardiologist gave me a 2 week supply of Jardiance yesterday to try out, I hope it's better than Entresto because Entresto did absolutely NOTHING for me. I will check back as soon as I know something, wish me luck I could use some. My question is, how does Jardiance improve life, what should I expect if it indeed is working for me? TheReaper!

Do I need this drug? My chest X ray says: Aortic Atherosclerosis is 170.0, so how bad is that? Is there a chart that shows what that means? I have eleminated any supplements with calcium phosphate. Is it too late?

Hello Doctor, Please update the Dapagliflozin information with explanations of WHY it works for CHF patients who do not also have diabetes. If the method of action is by washing out glucose from the bloodstream then why is is this beneficial for heart patients ? If blood glucose levels are not an issue for us would Dapagliflozin reduce blood sugar to a dangerous level ?

[@cfoster6804]

Exactly

[@anneburich3913]

It would be helpful to have the name of the medicine spelled out. I have no idea how it is spelled. Also I would like to see the study you are referring to; can you provide a link? Thanks.

Thanks very much.

Entresto is called Sacurise in India, and I take both Sacurise and Dapa. But Dr your Heart Failure playlist has irrelevant videos in it 😢 could you please make a playlist again so we can understand more of it?

[@spoildangel221]

Can you write the name of this medicine so I can tell my cardiologist please 🙏

[@shoppysharp9355]

The agent is called DAPAGLIFLOZIN and Dr Sanjay Gupta presents the information at 3:17 after first providing the context of his current cardiac medications protocol.

[@californiausa7622]

Nice informative video' ' Thank You Doctor''

[@Davetg01]

Great Vid thanks. My friend has an issue with his heart rate. He went to his Cardiologist and he said "we have a new drug, it's natural, farmed in the Amazon" apparently it's a new drug on the market and sounds promising.

[@hotlatino7220]

[@picking4acause492]

What's the name of the natural pill? Thank you.

[@cfoster6804]

[@lauramcd953]

I’m in Northern Ireland if just been put on dapa and entersto doing well

[@chateau7]

That was a wonderful video. However, I would recommend working on your graphics: put up the names of the drugs, etc., that you are referring to as you speak of them.

[@dlk1dlk1]

Foxglove flowers are medicinal for the heart apparently, but is their scent or smell beneficial too?

[@davemacleod9623]

Great information..gd job!

[@mary-vb7fm]

Thank you for doing this video.

[@nicholaswilson1216]

In your personal view, which do you think is a better devise CCM Impulse dynamic or Barostim?

[@kuldeepjamwal6423]

Doctor, you either missed Eplerenone mention in your talk or is it that it is not considered useful now.

[@k.k9581]

Than you --heart attack on oct 2nd 2022, using bisoprolol right now---now i know not to resent my increased urination levels though i wonder wether they factored in my anaemia as my carers noticed a total absence of red blood vessels tho my blood tests have proved ok.
