Understanding heart failure

[@searchlessrawdiet]

Dr. Gupta is a wonderful doctor, and human being. I consulted with him several years ago by phone, and he perfectly helped me understand the heart diagnosis I had, and completely put me at ease, even though I have a serious health condition. Very grateful to him.

[@tonyoliver2334]

This man is extremely aware of peoples sensitivity and anxiety over heart health. Very comforting to listen to. Definitely gifted and caring.

[@ec3064]

Yes, he is knowledgeable and reassuring--even in his manner if speech. When I was in the hospital with uncontrolled afib, I listened to his videos to help myself keep calm. ❤

[@jennifer007007007]

i am a dentist by profession and understand how your work must be very demanding. i am impressed how you take time out of your busy schedule and help people. kudos !!!

[@YorkCardiology]

thank you!!!!

[@carinmalmqvist1787]

You are truly a hero! I have met dozens of heartdoctors but noone explains as good and informative as you. You are a relief to many people. Thank you!

[@a19patrol]

@@YorkCardiology what a gentleman you are.

[@abdulabdul8416]

So wonderfully explained the system of failure and symptoms and durations. And building confident to listener. Deep technical points. Explanation of medical terms so nice. I love your talk. Our prayers to your entire family.

[@mjenks85]

Will anesthesia affect my weak heart when I go to the dentist?

[@knuftobor]

This is more information than what I got from the cardiologists I have seen in the last 10 year's at Stanford. Thank you!

[@wendi2819]

I know. It's wonderful. I wish he was my dr.he's awesome!

[@peggymicsky8607]

Sanjay, your videos are PRICELESS! Doctors do not talk to their patients or explain medical issues the way you do and patients are hungry for information and reassurance. You're exceptionally knowledgeable and gifted with the ability to explain things in a simple way and with compassion. Thank you, Doc, and come to America! We love Indian doctors, especially handsome ones! 💖

[@Boracho7]

I am the “someone, somewhere” benefiting from your videos 6 years later. I’m a new paramedic in California and your videos offer a lot more than what I learned throughout school. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@CarolanneTitmus-Greene]

I am in the UK and spent two weeks hospitalized for Heart Failure...I had better treatment and received more information from The EMS than the doctors.The nurses and hospital staff were exceptional.

[@davedesmarais6262]

Thank you Dr. Gupta. You are becoming the world's cardiologist...the one we all wish we had.

[@PinkeeLee]

dr. gupta, you are keeping me from going to sleep. this information is better than a good movie. you are incredible. no dr. has the time to explain all of the intricacies. the heart is an amazing thing, isn't it?

[@zubeidaroberts7186]

Hi Docter I was diagnosed with heart failure ..your videos are so helpful much appreciated thank you

[@louisabartlett2307]

You are a gem. My brother suffers with this. I pray that Father God leads you into more truth. About sickness’s. I feel so loved❤️ Thank you Dr. So much🙅🏽‍♀️

[@fecpnr]

JOhn, aged 65. Thank you. The clearest explanation yet of a condition {diastolic heart failure} I have lived with now for five years. Most helpful.

[@dennislurvey3235]

heart failure snuck up on me, because there is a lack of information. Should be posters in every clinic and hospital corridor. I had all the outward symptoms but nothing to warn me. Your videos have been priceless !

[@garyolson2676]

I have heart damage from a heart attack almost 30 years ago. In 2012, I had quadruple bypass. My ejection fraction was the same before and after bypass surgery: around 40%. But here’s the deal - I was physically quite active for the 20 years before my bypass, and after the bypass and losing some weight I returned to my favorite form of exercise - cycling. Since then, I have ridden 10,000 miles, up and down hills, averaging about 13-14 mph. I am 72 years old and somewhat overweight. One cardiologist told me that an echocardiogram to check my EF at rest was very low mainly because I have an “athlete’s heart.” Some enlargement of ventricles or other endurance exercise induced changes. I did develop an atrial flutter, which was cured by ablation. I’ve always worried about my very low EF, but my fitness suggests that this may not be a seriously limiting factor.

[@franciscajohnson7501]

Thank you Dr Gupta I wish you are in Texas. You made my day today for your information

[@samanthadawson5389]

As a second year nursing student who is currently trying to write a case study on heart failure I have found this video so helpful in gaining a better understanding of knowledge before writing my essay.

[@drawwithchris5063]

Thank you so much again to this very important video especially to me,as a heart failure patient.Your the only Doctor explain well about my condition..kudos to you doc!

[@someone9608]

Thank you for the reference values to help make sense of the various heart test results. Wish all cardiologists were as compassionate and dedicated as you to helping patients and carers understand their health conditions.God bless you sir!

[@TheKevinkumar]

Dr., you are a great human being and the selfless service that u are providing to the needy people all around d world are just invaluable. You are blessing to d mankind. May d Almighty keep u healthy forever & give u all d happiness in the world. Thanks a ton n stay blessed at all times. Gratitude - gratitude - gratitude !

[@dauntiekay2768]

Very interesting and informative--thank you for taking the time to educate us on heart failure. You are a gift and your videos are an invaluable source of knowledge.

[@yvonnemvquire6349]

You explained it perfectly. I have never been so satisfied with an explanation as I have listening to you. Thank you😊

[@detailedinfinity]

Dr Gupta as a patient suffering from heart failure which was diagnosed last September I was placed on a medication regime--the usual potions etc . Last week I presented to my cardiologist for my definitive echo which will give my medic information from that echo if indeed I need to proceed to an implant. You explained in both your vids what info my surgeon will derive from my data in the decision for an implant. As a person with some understanding of organ activities etc you have enlightened me and given me an insight of the jargon and presentation of the if, buts and maybe's of the cardio system--the link to respiratory and renal feedback and so on. I was so pleased to see and listen to a medic sat in his office with no smoke or mirrors which are usually found on the American channels and walking me through the biology given by the echo data. Thank you so much for your time which currently in the NHS is in very short supply. Keep doing what you're doing. Doncaster UK

[@mmhervey3449]

Thank you very much Dr. Gupta. This video was of particular interest to me as I have a sister in the hospital right now with heart failure. She has all of the symptoms you talked about, swollen extremities, breathlessness and she’s very weak. She has diabetes and her blood glucose is very high. This information is very good and gives us hope that she can come through this and live a longer life. Thank you again. I’ve been watching you for a long time and you explain things so they are not difficult to understand. God bless you.

[@danh2310]

Wow this is the best explanation thanks doc. Long live all heart failure patients.. my dad had stents I'm worried it runs in the family.

[@renerobertson324]

Your explanation of heart failure has really helped me understand my condition .

[@reecetutini3098]

this was the best information on heart failure well explained very grateful

[@brandymoore7191]

Another wonderful video. Your message is saving people’s lives. That’s incredible. Thank you so much.

[@onyebuchiihejirikauche9213]

As a pharmacist who is practising in Nigeria, your videos have been amazingly helpful to me in taking care of my patients. They literally take me as a god

[@susansperry1418]

So glad I watched this . I have heart failure I it was never explained to me . Now I know what to ask I wish you were my doctor ! Thank you

[@Ski7440]

Thankyou Sanjay ! My father died of heart failure 2015 and got very breathless along with COPD asthma etc . Nothing could be done over many years , although his medications probably kept him going much longer. He finally passed away peacefully but “ feeling absolutely rotten “ , as he said ; with us by his side. I wish he had met you ...😢😪😊☺️. Best wishes xx🌹

[@beckythatgirl1578]

So sorry for the loss of your father. My husband was diagnosed in 2015 and it’s been a very bumpy road.

[@jameelharris5636]

Sorry to hear about your father, This video gave me alot of information, my heart doctor doesn't even have the time to discuss things like this. And I ask a million questions! All of you comments are valuable. I hope all is well with you and your family. Happy Holidays to you as well. 1luv Jenn we're in this together.

[@andrewheredia8049]

Thank You, Doctor Gupta!🙏🏻🫀🙏🏻

[@mimifunkee9508]

Coming across you Dr Gupta is one of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in 2021. Thanks so much for taking out time to educate us you don't know what you do to some of us you have given me in particular Hope. I am 30 years old and was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia and my ecg says I have early repolarization I have so many symptoms that make me feel I'll just drop off and die. I recently subscribed to your channel and I must say I check up on your videos everyday. Thanks for loving humanity this much . You are a God sent

[@carolthomas1561]

Thank you so much for the in depth information! I have recently being diagnosed with heart failure after a coronary artery bypass graft. I have been so worried and thought I would die in 5 years time, thank you for explaining this fully, you are amazing.

[@thefuzzfactor2989]

I'm the same. I was diagnosed a year ago. No infotmation. It's only.now that I have worse symptoms and am a bit scared. I too wish that Dr Gupta were my cardiologist.

[@kimanddeansrvlifewenzl3800]

Thank you! You are a blessing to this world! ✝️ you took away so many of my fears etc.

[@terricoffey6295]

Thank you for taking the time to put out this video. Just got my proBNP result of 797 and will have Echo day after tomorrow.

[@ellentewkesbury5936]

Your explanation has helped me so much, as I have been diagnosed with heart failure. So clear, so balanced, I feel I can accept this unexpected change, having better knowledge, and as a result, more insight into how I can help myself. Thank you so much.

[@C-Rocks]

You have a soothing demeanor on difficult topic

[@fruitloops3718]

Definitely appreciate your advice. I have aortic regurgitation which has caused 20 percent heart failure/damage. Your words confirm what is going on. I am still exercising but my recovery time has doubled since discovery of my problem. I will continue to follow and just wanted to thank for the clear explanation.

[@bw8966]

I was just diagnosed with heart failure with an EF of 35%. I am healthy and I'm only 33. I just had my twins 4 days ago. I am watching this video over and over in the hospital CCU. I am so scared but this video has helped me. Thanks for this video. 😭😭

[@humiliated_by_auberle]

How is it going now? I learn I was at 24% about a year ago. Too me feels like once I push my luck I hurt for awhile and feel weaker. However, most of the time I forget about it. The doctors told me mine didn't make sense either right after turning 40 (Bet that is still really old to you, lol.). The keep saying the best case was some kind of virus they aren't naming weakened my heart.

[@gtggj6851]

I went through MI in the age of 42 went out of hospital with ef 45%. Was going around with mi for two days before i went to the doctor. Im really worried about developing stronger heart failure but everybody here where im taken care of is talking about abilities of heart to regenarate especially in such a young age although don't feel very well. What you can not under appreciate is proper rehabilitation program.

Currently in Nursing school you explained it SO easy!

[@korsimms7886]

Brilliant video, very informative Dr.

[@lynnsullivan3156]

I so enjoyed your video, your explications are so clear. I had a heart failure incident once at the ER this past November and have a pacemaker now and heart medications …still very tired, but starting to walk more and for longer stretches. I’ll do some cardio physical therapy soon too. They aren’t sure why I had the heart failure, possibly a virus, but I do have type 11 diabetes and thyroid problems too, which could have caused my collapse. Anyway, thank you again, I’ve subscribed!

[@marysmith4811]

We are seeing more and more of this. Not sure if you are vaxxed, but I have to wonder if that is what brought my dad's on. We'll never know.

[@johnbasil7882]

Such a beautiful person. I deeply respect you.

[@braddsn]

My father passed away 6 months ago while getting treatment from post-myelofibrosis that had converted to AML. He began his decitabine treatment, and 2 weeks in, they called us in to tell us that his heart had been damaged, and it wasn't properly profusing his organs, and that there was nothing they could do. He passed away 2 days later. He was at Barnes Jewish Hospital, and it's a wonderful hospital. I often wonder if there is anything they could have done to treat his heart failure. But I believe that there must have been no options, or they would have at least tried. This video helped explain a lot. Thank you sir.

[@strollby4800]

Excellent explanation Doctor, you have put my mind at rest as I was told I had 'heart failure' but very little else. Thank you for taking the time to make the video.

[@samahf1669]
