He doesn't miss a beat!

According to an 80's hit by Feargal Sharkey, "a good heart these days is hard to find", but with the likes of Dr David Burke about the place, those odds are getting better all the time.

Dr Burke is Consultant Cardiologist and Head of Cardiology at The Beacon Hospital, who joined Dermot and Dave for a very educational #AskMeAnything

Dave answered questions like: "What is like having the pressure of someone's life in your hands?" and "Do you think robotic surgeries are  the way of the future?". He also reveals how you can medically die of "a broken heart".

The single most helpful test to do is the CT cardiac angiogram. That one is probably the one test that will give you a full sign off, or an 'NCT'

When asked what his top 3 tips would be, here's what he said:

Everything in moderation - avoid fads like quick weight loss/diets

Keep check - blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, heart trouble in the family

Listen to your body - "the best test of yourself IS yourself"
