In episode #42, Paul talks with consultant cardiologist Dr Sanjay Gupta about a subject he specialises in: cardiac imaging.
Dr Gupta takes us through the various tools he uses, such as echocardiograms, computerised tomography (CT) scans, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans.
Dr Gupta explains everything about these techniques that patients need to know and also talks about how future tools may help prevent the main cause of sudden cardiac deaths – heart attacks.

After our first meet-up in February 2015, I realised I was not alone. It was the first time since my cardiac arrest the previous year that I had spoken face-to-face with someone who had experienced what I had. This was also true for my wife, who also happened to be my lifesaver. From that meet-up, the idea of SCA UK was born. Since then, we have achieved a considerable amount, primarily providing information, resources and support to others in a similar situation but also raising the profile of survivorship and the need for better post-discharge care. We are starting to get traction in this, and with the formation of the charity, I genuinely believe we have a bright future ahead and will make a significant difference in the lives of many who join our ranks.
