" Cardiax Lab - Your Heart in Smart Hands" with Venus Chow

My Guest on the podcast this week is Venus Chow. Venus grew up in Hong Kong and at the age of fifteen went to the UK to continue her studies. She graduated from University College London in Applied Medical Sciences before graduating with a Masters in Cardiovascular Research from Kings College London. Venus is currently working as a health consultant at the Cardiax Lab in Hong Kong. Cardiax  Lab offers noninvasive cardiovascular screening and diagnosis and heart care management. Venus goes into detail on the noninvasive cardiovascular checkup using the “HOTMANTM SYSTEM” which can measure up to 30 different parameters related to heart health. A system that was originally developed by NASA to monitor astronauts blood pressure during space missions and has now been adapted for cardiovascular screening. In the podcast we go into detail of the “Traffic Light System” to classify different degrees of heart health and the associated actions that are recommended to her clients. We discuss widely and deeply the topic of Heart Health. Venus discusses some case studies to illustrate how Cardiax Labs works with clients to provide detailed information on their Heart Health and their recommendations to improve their associated conditions.  Timings03:19 I’m Venus I was born in Hong Kong … I completed a masters degree in Cardio Vascular Disease At Kings College London… 6:15I’m a Health Consultant at the Cardix Lab HK… we receive clients for Cardio Vascular(CV) Health screenings… I may refer clients to see a cardiologist…5:52 Everyone accept the fact  … high blood pressure… hypertensive pills… life long…8:57 Our heart and vessels are very smart… 10:28 What I do is a non- invasive CV Screening… with 8 electrodes … can measure 30 parameters… quicker…more efficient… safe approach…12:27 It takes time for hypertension,  CVD to develop… (Cardio Vascular Disease)14:52 [Serious cases – Red] … around 10%-12%15:27 CVDs are very dangerous… can be stroke … can’t predict it…16:19 Often the parents are healthier than their children… Athletes may have Ischemia…17:43 A silent killer…18:46 [Grandpa story] ….19:30 70% of Lung Cancer patients die from CVD… most common cause of death is “Heart Diseases”… Genetics may also contribute…20:46[Study of CVD and pregnancy] 22:32  Technology... originally from NASA… astronauts CV Health…23:12 [30 CV Parameters]Heart performance … Heart failure signs…Blockages… Output… Dysrhythmia … AI capabilities…novel technology…28:22 [Recommendations] Monitor diet, exercise, CV Health – screening, …Before and after measurents28:44[Case Study] BMI >30 … Was in Red zone – moved to Green zone…33:07 [Case Study]We use the AI system to recommend and calculate dosage… types… 59 year old diabetic male….
