Brilliant ! You just listed all the meds I was given at my local hospital after my recent heart attack, including dapagliflozin. I found this very reassuring.
With all the meds for heart failure, I could not get out of bed. I slept almost 24/7. Now I eat free range chicken eggs every day, real butter, grass fed and finished beef, wild caught salmon, etc. I'm walking 30 min a day, cutting my grass and growing my own vegetables. I could use more energy but feel alot , 80 percent better. Praise our Heavenly Father!!
I thank you so very much for the time you take to do these videos….I hang on to every word… ❤️ I am 66 and just had a major heart attack. 100% blockage in the main artery … my doctor put a stent in and it saved my life…🙏❤️
... in today's world there is so much advise. CHF here Dr.put me on entresto small dose ...says he wants to build up the heart muscle ... he did a panarametic of the heart as well ... I think he is on to something ...
Thanks again Dr Gupta I'm recovering from Stroke (6 months) with Left side Paralysis.I was in hospital for 3 months.During investigations it was found that I have a heart failure..Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction I'm also Type2 diabetic. I'm on the drugs mentioned in your clip.. THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining it all.Im 74years old. God bless you
Recently my father was prescribed "Dapavale" by our cardiologist even though he wasn't diabetic. I had certain doubts about this tablet. You've cleared it very nicely. Thankyou!
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.
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.
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
Amazing information well spoken and informative I usually skip these videos because they're usually repetitive and I don't gain anything from them with you I am reminded to address heart disease and you've made it abundantly clear that you have a lot of the answers that I have been earnestly seeking thank you for the presentation and the new medication that you have provided I will speak to my cardiologist and I'm sure he's aware for him as well as well as all that you are healthy to live a better life with heart problems thank you
I wish you would include the script under 'More' for all your videos. I always find the printed text immensely helpful and particularly when it comes to the names of pharmaceuticals and medical conditions. I know this happens with many or most of your videos but I really miss it when it is not there.
I am Norwegian and I have chf. Less than 30% erf….large scarring after major heart attack. Am on the combo of drugs you mentioned including entresto and forxiga…made a significant improvement for me ……
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.
Thank you for this information. I have recently been prescribed Entresto, and it has been a game-changer for me. Very quickly too. I will keep the name of this new drug on hand to discuss with my cardiologist in the future.
My cardiologist has recommended for me to switch over to Entresto. Could you expand on your experience; in what way was it a game changer for you? Thanks.
This is great news. Sadly too late for my dad who passed away with this a year ago but great there are more options for CHF patients currently suffering this horrible illness.
Thanks for the update and show you are caring (a rare quality these days) Just an idea, have you looked into blood profiles of heart failure patients you are treating to see whether any raised markers for pre-diabetes or insulin resistance or hypertriglyceride status?
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.
@@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.
@@opal777 You are mixing sugar intake and vegan diet. You could still be vegan, eat lots of french fries and vegan cupcakes, and load up on weight. So, understanding the root cause is important. Vegan lifestyle has improved my life tremendously.
Dr Sanjay: would you do a video on how to improve ejection factor with diet and exercise. I am not fond of meds as almost all have intolerable side effects, for me. I've been on my own heart improvement regimen with exercise diet meditation and prayer and deep breathing and can now walk for an hour at a brisk pace most days, after being exhausted after a 20 minute walk. The vaccines greatly worsened my heart health. I listen to your channel every day and wish you were here in the USA. God bless you and thank you!!!
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!
An amazing video doctor. You give hope to the hopeless. I have a cardiologist who is very funny. Not really worried bout what happens to patients. I am on entresto. 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. I cant even take the recommended 1g vit C, vit D 50000iu and zinc 50mg to help my immunity because I did and the blood pressure further very very low and am very dizzy.
Am on Entresto as well the side effects are a challenge to deal with. Correct!! It causes low blood pressure, dizziness, diahrrea and some more effects. Doctors swear by it that this medication is the top notch for heart condition. Only time will tell with the side effects. Much blessings 🙏 and be well.
I am a healthy 65Y man and yet very happy to have listened to all your videos and specially to this new video that brings the news of this hopeful medicine. Kindly prepare some videos in the future on how to stay healthy
Natural supplements can also significantly increase ejection fraction in patients with HF. CoQ10+D-Ribose+L-Carnitine+Magnesium Taurate to increase EF taken along with Boron to reduce inflammation and C Reactive protein by up to 40%. Consult with your physician to get clearance especially if you are on blood thinners.
@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.
@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?
@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.
@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.
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.
Tony that is exactly what I was thinking while watching this. However, I am staunch fan of Dr Sanjay Gupta; his reliably thorough yet concise honest presentations far surpass any cardiologist's communication that I've actually seen in clinic.
If most people could easily control themselves including their appetites readily in this world with pockets of plenty, the world would be inhabited by a different species, one perhaps more Swiss- or Japanese- like. Certainly not like me, my family, my friends or neighbors or countrymen who eat heartily just waiting for the famine
Diabetes type 2 is linked with heart attacks, insulin resistance, inflammation, heart disease, plaque build up in the arteries. Is it possible that people suffering from heart failure may be suffering also from direct side effects of Diabetes type 2. It is now very well proven that a low carbohydrate diet, high good fat, no sugar, no vegetable oils diet will reverse diabetes and the high levels of glucose and insulin that cause so many other health problems! Thank you for discussing a pharmaceutical drug that shows incredible promise for patients that will not eat a healthy diet or those that have done so much to weaken their heart that they may have a chance at some semblance of decent heart health. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us on You Tube!
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.
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. This is a video by the guy promoting FASTING explaining why people like York Cardiology pushes meds: th-cam.com/video/z6IO2DZjOkY/w-d-xo.html
I have CHF I’m 67 years young but I have never had a heart attack or stroke but my blood 🩸 test indicated that I was low on vitamin B12 and my doctor never told me anything I found out on my own and a look up on google indicates that lock of B12 can cause a week heart ❤️ my doctor had no clue 🕵️♀️ therefore if you have CHF check your blood test thoroughly because they don’t know anything but to prescribe, prescribe and prescribe! They even told me that I had asthma in the beginning. Just keep the hope alive that’s the dream 😮
Thank you so much for this ray of hope. My husband takes ramipril, bisoprolol, epleronone and amlodipine but he suffers from breathlessness and fatigue. His heart failure symptoms worsened significantly six months ago after a fall which resulted in a subdural haematoma. I wonder if you have ever come across a case of this happening.
Thank you AP. D3k2 sounds especially appropriate as he also has a severely calcified artery (LAD) and is waiting for a stent, which he can’t have just yet as he would need blood thinners first, which his neurosurgeon won’t allow yet because of the risk of another bleed on the brain. Thanks again.
THIS VIDEO INFORMATION MADE MY DAY!!! Thank u Dr for such cutting edge information!!! I have a call into my cardiologist and pharmacist as well to share what u said and to add Dapa to my already 3 heart meds. I have been on Entresto since Novartis came out with it. Seems very effective for me. But, optimal health is always my goal. Thank u thank u for sharing♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼
Is Dapa different from Entresto? My Dr. was about to Rx Ozempic to me and I'm not diabetic. It's 1,400 in USA and my insurance is pitching a fit. American health care is sooo out of working people's reach.
My dad has 50/55% left ventrical. He is on Furesimide, 3 tablets, spirolactone, and a few others you mentioned. But he can loose too many salts, his are 1.32. His legs are big and his feet, can't get shoes on. He had to go to hospital in April to have water drained off him as it went to his groin area and up to his chest. He isn't too bad now, but the swelling is still there on his feet/legs. If he takes too many diuretics then it mucks his kidneys up
Sadly my father developed CHF a few weeks after getting his second booster. He was walking 4 miles daily and now can barely walk 1/2 a mile. His cardiologist surprisingly hasn’t mentioned SGLT inhibitors. We see him in a week and I will definitely bring it up since dad is only decling on metoprolol, lisnolpril and amlodipine. I’m praying the SGLT works.
My uncle is 77, had a heart attack, diabetic, and once he started on empaglifozin, which is another sglt2 inhibitor like dapa, he is doing significantly better. 4 months now and still alive.
Doc there are reported side effects of the gliflazines to pancreas, kidneys etc not to mention severe thrush, can these drugs be taken as a preventive measure for patients with none heart failure ?
💕💕💕 I'm taking 88 MCG. Levothyroxine every morning. On my last visit to the doctor's office, I was asked (when he was headed out the door) if I've ever thought about stopping this medication because my latest test shows my thyroid is normal. Question: Under the circumstances, could this medication be the cause of my heart palpitations at night? 💕💕💕
My father is a heart failure patient, doc said nothing much can be done, just wait God to call him, thanks for ur recommendation, I have bought the medicine for my father, regardless of the result I would like to said a big thank to u
So to access this drug, would it just be clinician awareness when getting to use the drug for heart failure? As it’s already approved for diabetes, I think it’s called “off label” prescribing in the US when you use an approved drug for a condition or age group other than what it was intended. The doctor has to state it is medically necessary.
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!
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?
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.
Would you please spell out the medication you talking about.. Also this week had echo- normal sinus rhythm with biaterial enlargement and ST andT wave abnormalities. He says one of bottom chambers is doing extra beats. Did prescp of Diltiazem HCL ER Coasted BE 120 CP24 I think its for high blood pressure. Would this clear up the extra beats, Thanks
Leona Owen diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker which does lower blood pressure. But it also slows conduction through the AV node and bundle of HIS, so it will slow your lower chamber contractions. It can definitely stop or slow the extra ventricular contractions.
I have heart failure and diabetes type 2 and take both Entresto and Forxiga (dapagliflozin) and Metoprolol, Digoxin and Spironolakton. Afternoon adding E Entresto there was a difference, don't k ow about Forxiga because have had that longer. Heart has become a little better, doctor thinks I have right medicines. I live in Stockholm, Sweden.
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.
I used entresto for 2 and half years very expensive even with insurance and it didn't me any good still my EF 25 I will try the dapagliflozin hopefully it will work thank DR
I am on dapa entresto eplirinone and Ivabradin for a year now and he’s restored me to normal and my heart failure with reduced ef has reversed its miraculous I’m in my 50s with lv cardiomyopathy
My husband had chf, EF 40%, was on lisinopril cardiologist switch to farxiga, he’s not diabetic but had side effect of burning sensation on urination, so he stopped it then was switch to entresto the lowest dose he was ok for 2 weeks but on the 3rd week, he has a lot of muscle pain, 8/10 scale n severe bronchi spasm coughing so he called the cardio n stopped the meds for 3 days now after 3 days switch back to his usual lisinopril
Brilliant ! You just listed all the meds I was given at my local hospital after my recent heart attack, including dapagliflozin. I found this very reassuring.
With all the meds for heart failure, I could not get out of bed. I slept almost 24/7. Now I eat free range chicken eggs every day, real butter, grass fed and finished beef, wild caught salmon, etc. I'm walking 30 min a day, cutting my grass and growing my own vegetables.

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!
I wish that the spelling of some of these meds were printed on the bottom of the screen.

An amazing video doctor. You give hope to the hopeless. I have a cardiologist who is very funny. Not really worried bout what happens to patients. I am on entresto. 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. I cant even take the recommended 1g vit C, vit D 50000iu and zinc 50mg to help my immunity because I did and the blood pressure further very very low and am very dizzy.
Am on Entresto as well the side effects are a challenge to deal with.
Correct!! It causes low blood pressure, dizziness, diahrrea and some more effects. Doctors swear by it that this medication is the top notch for heart condition.
Only time will tell with the side effects.
Much blessings 🙏 and be well.
This is exactly how my Cardio is treating me. I feel better after 2 weeks. More energy and able to do more
Ok it has to be said. Love the shirt! 😁👍
I am a healthy 65Y man and yet very happy to have listened to all your videos and specially to this new video that brings the news of this hopeful medicine. Kindly prepare some videos in the future on how to stay healthy
Natural supplements can also significantly increase ejection fraction in patients with HF. CoQ10+D-Ribose+L-Carnitine+Magnesium Taurate to increase EF taken along with Boron to reduce inflammation and C Reactive protein by up to 40%. Consult with your physician to get clearance especially if you are on blood thinners.
@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.
@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?
@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.
@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.
@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.
Obviously, you have to be good at tongue twisters to be a Cardiologist!!😀 Great informative video, thank you.
Very important information. Thank you Doctor.
You are remarkable! Ten thousand thank yous!
THANKS VERY INFORMATIVE.
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.
Tony that is exactly what I was thinking while watching this. However, I am staunch fan of Dr Sanjay Gupta; his reliably thorough yet concise honest presentations far surpass any cardiologist's communication that I've actually seen in clinic.
If most people could easily control themselves including their appetites readily in this world with pockets of plenty, the world would be inhabited by a different species, one perhaps more Swiss- or Japanese- like.
Certainly not like me, my family, my friends or neighbors or countrymen who eat heartily just waiting for the famine
Kkkkkkkkkkkk
Kkkkkkkkkkkk
Bingo!
I'm due a consultation from my cardiologist. I will mention Dapa. My EF is 39. I'm on beta blocker but no Ace inhibitor. Great education..thankyou...
Me too. On a blocker but no inhibitor. Good luck🙏
Diabetes type 2 is linked with heart attacks, insulin resistance, inflammation, heart disease, plaque build up in the arteries. Is it possible that people suffering from heart failure may be suffering also from direct side effects of Diabetes type 2. It is now very well proven that a low carbohydrate diet, high good fat, no sugar, no vegetable oils diet will reverse diabetes and the high levels of glucose and insulin that cause so many other health problems! Thank you for discussing a pharmaceutical drug that shows incredible promise for patients that will not eat a healthy diet or those that have done so much to weaken their heart that they may have a chance at some semblance of decent heart health. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us on You Tube!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you.
great news … thanks for sharing it!
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.
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.
This is a video by the guy promoting FASTING explaining why people like York Cardiology pushes meds: th-cam.com/video/z6IO2DZjOkY/w-d-xo.html
Eat once or twice daily
@Axel Just like exercising increases cortisol.
Thank you Dr Gupta great information .
I have CHF I’m 67 years young but I have never had a heart attack or stroke but my blood 🩸 test indicated that I was low on vitamin B12 and my doctor never told me anything I found out on my own and a look up on google indicates that lock of B12 can cause a week heart ❤️ my doctor had no clue 🕵️♀️ therefore if you have CHF check your blood test thoroughly because they don’t know anything but to prescribe, prescribe and prescribe! They even told me that I had asthma in the beginning. Just keep the hope alive that’s the dream 😮
Thanks sanjay your a legend mate bless you 🙏
Thank you so much. I am going to see a cardiologist. I’ll let you know. 🙏
Thank you so much for this ray of hope. My husband takes ramipril, bisoprolol, epleronone and amlodipine but he suffers from breathlessness and fatigue. His heart failure symptoms worsened significantly six months ago after a fall which resulted in a subdural haematoma. I wonder if you have ever come across a case of this happening.
- ubiquinol supplement
- d3 k2 supplement
- magnesium
- eliminate sugar and salt from diet
- take daily walks
Thank you AP. D3k2 sounds especially appropriate as he also has a severely calcified artery (LAD) and is waiting for a stent, which he can’t have just yet as he would need blood thinners first, which his neurosurgeon won’t allow yet because of the risk of another bleed on the brain. Thanks again.
Kkkkkkkkkkkk
THIS VIDEO INFORMATION MADE MY DAY!!! Thank u Dr for such cutting edge information!!! I have a call into my cardiologist and pharmacist as well to share what u said and to add Dapa to my already 3 heart meds. I have been on Entresto since Novartis came out with it. Seems very effective for me. But, optimal health is always my goal. Thank u thank u for sharing♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼
Is Dapa different from Entresto? My Dr. was about to Rx Ozempic to me and I'm not diabetic. It's 1,400 in USA and my insurance is pitching a fit. American health care is sooo out of working people's reach.
Great information..gd job!
God bless you doctor
Really great news to hear !
Doctor, please include the names of the medications you mention in the description of the video.
Dapagliflozin
@@limmoblack in America sold as Farziga.
Very useful information, thank you.
My dad has 50/55% left ventrical. He is on Furesimide, 3 tablets, spirolactone, and a few others you mentioned. But he can loose too many salts, his are 1.32. His legs are big and his feet, can't get shoes on. He had to go to hospital in April to have water drained off him as it went to his groin area and up to his chest. He isn't too bad now, but the swelling is still there on his feet/legs. If he takes too many diuretics then it mucks his kidneys up
"Metabolic cardiology" Life saver
What wrong with coq10, ribose, taurine with no side effect
Excellent thank you
So Informative thank you! My brother has heart failure so I try to stay educated on this illness. 😊
What is the symptoms before heart failure for ur brother?
Metabolic cardiology google it
Arsath Ahamed shortness of breath. Fatigue. Swollen legs. I hope this helps 🙏
Kkkkkkkkkkkk
Sadly my father developed CHF a few weeks after getting his second booster. He was walking 4 miles daily and now can barely walk 1/2 a mile. His cardiologist surprisingly hasn’t mentioned SGLT inhibitors. We see him in a week and I will definitely bring it up since dad is only decling on metoprolol, lisnolpril and amlodipine. I’m praying the SGLT works.
Question ... "second booster" of what ... a Covid 19 vaccine, a seasonal flu vaccine, shingles vaccine, or?
My uncle is 77, had a heart attack, diabetic, and once he started on empaglifozin, which is another sglt2 inhibitor like dapa, he is doing significantly better. 4 months now and still alive.
thanks doctor
Doc there are reported side effects of the gliflazines to pancreas, kidneys etc not to mention severe thrush, can these drugs be taken as a preventive measure for patients with none heart failure ?
Great news doc
💕💕💕 I'm taking 88 MCG. Levothyroxine every morning. On my last visit to the doctor's office, I was asked (when he was headed out the door) if I've ever thought about stopping this medication because my latest test shows my thyroid is normal. Question: Under the circumstances, could this medication be the cause of my heart palpitations at night? 💕💕💕
Thanks for sharing
really useful information thanks
My father is a heart failure patient, doc said nothing much can be done, just wait God to call him, thanks for ur recommendation, I have bought the medicine for my father, regardless of the result I would like to said a big thank to u
Name the 💊 medicine
Thx for the video
It gave some positive thougts
Great video I have heart failure with reduced ejection cardiology have recommended dapagliflozin are the side effects bearable
Lovely shirt, SG
When you wear floral shirts, it reminds me of the male Indian movie stars of yesteryear.
So to access this drug, would it just be clinician awareness when getting to use the drug for heart failure? As it’s already approved for diabetes, I think it’s called “off label” prescribing in the US when you use an approved drug for a condition or age group other than what it was intended. The doctor has to state it is medically necessary.
Nice informative video' ' Thank You Doctor''
can Entresto cause bubbly urine?
Hi great Dr.
Does beta blockers cause Thyroid?
I’m just watching this informative video now. Are there any updates, Dr Gupta??
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!
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?
Farxiga is an expensive diuretic. It has the same side effect as Thiazide-- low Sodium in the blood.
Doctor, you either missed Eplerenone mention in your talk or is it that it is not considered useful now.
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.
Wat is it
What's the name of the natural pill? Thank you.
Hello Ooooh? You gonna leave us hanging like that?
I haven't got a clue where I got that from. 3 years down the line and Im as confused as you are lol. @@cfoster6804
Would you please spell out the medication you talking about.. Also this week had echo- normal sinus rhythm with biaterial enlargement and ST andT wave abnormalities. He says one of bottom chambers is doing extra beats. Did prescp of
Diltiazem HCL ER Coasted BE 120 CP24 I think its for high blood pressure. Would this clear up the extra beats, Thanks
Dapagliflozin
Meldonium
Leona Owen diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker which does lower blood pressure. But it also slows conduction through the AV node and bundle of HIS, so it will slow your lower chamber contractions. It can definitely stop or slow the extra ventricular contractions.
@@bimiup1 thanks much for reply
Kkkkkkkkkkkk
I have heart failure and diabetes type 2 and take both Entresto and Forxiga (dapagliflozin) and Metoprolol, Digoxin and Spironolakton. Afternoon adding E Entresto there was a difference, don't k ow about Forxiga because have had that longer. Heart has become a little better, doctor thinks I have right medicines. I live in Stockholm, Sweden.
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.
How would dapa affect your sugar levels if you are not diabetic?
I used entresto for 2 and half years very expensive even with insurance and it didn't me any good still my EF 25 I will try the dapagliflozin hopefully it will work thank DR
I am on dapa entresto eplirinone and Ivabradin for a year now and he’s restored me to normal and my heart failure with reduced ef has reversed its miraculous I’m in my 50s with lv cardiomyopathy
Wow!, thanks to the Lord. You are also one of the positive testimonies reversing HF.
Fantastic news....
My husband had chf, EF 40%, was on lisinopril cardiologist switch to farxiga, he’s not diabetic but had side effect of burning sensation on urination, so he stopped it then was switch to entresto the lowest dose he was ok for 2 weeks but on the 3rd week, he has a lot of muscle pain, 8/10 scale n severe bronchi spasm coughing so he called the cardio n stopped the meds for 3 days now after 3 days switch back to his usual lisinopril
Hello Doctor, Thank you so much for such information, please share your view on Regenerative medicians also
