DoctorOz: Howie Mandel Opens Up About His Heart Procedure | Dr. Oz

Who's here revealing a lot of stuff about his health. Terry, may I steal him for a second? Sure. Okay, come on over. He mentioned his heart problem. If you don't cut, I have a little surprise for you. Mentioned a heart problem so you have a surprise. Yes, I just happened to come up. That's an awkward segment. Oh my God, and there's gloves. Wait, you don't have to. Gloves are sterile, by the way. Gloves are sterile. I love this. The insides are clean. Nothing would make me feel, if you ever invite me over to your house, these should be at the front entry. Wow. Actually, I know. Wow. Wow. Oh, I used to do it on my head. You know that? That's how I made a living. Do you know about that? Well, how'd you do it? It's not these. I need the looser one. Let me see if I got it. In years, years and years ago. Oh, he got it. Wait. He got it. I got to take it away. He got it. Oh, my goodness. Wait. Oh, it broke. So I bought my first house by taking gloves like this, pulling them over my head and inflating them. That was my act. That was my act. I didn't have to go to all those years of medical school to make a living. Here's more gloves. Why? How many things do you have me touching? Just in case. Well, actually, I do want you to, you don't have to touch this, but I want you to look at this. What is it? This is a human heart. Why did you bring that? Because I want to show everybody. It's a real human heart? It's a real human heart. Where's the person? The person. Can you imagine? You find me your whole life. You want to be on the Dr. Oz show, and here you are. Are you on? No, I have a heart on. Come on. That's good. That's good. So, he has something called atrial fibrillation, right? I do have AFib. I had. You had. Well, I'm still dealing with it. Well, let's talk about for a second what it is. Because it affects almost 3 million Americans. Very common. People die from this, guys. If you don't figure it out and get it treated and get successfully managed. I'm successfully managed right now. So the blood comes into the heart from the top. That's the atrium, this part right here. And then it goes into the muscle here. You can touch if you want, but you don't have to. It's completely up to you. This sounds like my first date. Remember that? Okay. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You can touch if you want, but you don't have to. Yeah, I do. Remember, honey, these are the gloves. Thumbs. What am I touching? So that's the atrium. See how thin that is? Feel how thin that is. That's the atrium, yeah. And feel this. This is the muscle. Oh, that's tough. This looks like a healthy heart. This was a healthy heart. But in some of the atrial fibrillation, this atrium, this top part, gets thinned out. It sort of swells a little bit from pressure, blood pressure issues can cause. Many things can cause it. And then it becomes like a bag of worms. It begins to fibrillate like this instead of squeezing like it's supposed to. Right. And when that happens, blood can get caught in these little crevices here. Right. And that blood can fly off to your brain. A stroke. A stroke. And causes heart failure because if it beats too fast, your heart can't keep up with it. Alright. So both of those are... You think this is good for my anxiety issues? But you got treated a couple of times. So at first, I've been cardioverted a couple of times. So how did you find out you had it? Okay, so I went, I was doing a television show in Toronto, Canada. And when you go do a television show, you get a physical. And it's kind of a really easy physical. You go in, the guy put the stethoscope to my chest. And he goes, you might want to go over to the emergency room. And I go... Why? And he goes, you don't feel anything. This is the other thing. You always complain about this with me. My wife complains. I'm so not aware. Like I'm out. I was out of breath and I love the treadmill. And every two weeks I would be on the treadmill and pass out. But I'd always, that was my, I would run until I'd pass out. I have another friend here that would go to the gym with me and I'd be lying face down in the gym and he'd go, you want water? Like, I don't know. John Mendoza, thank you for saving my life. Where is he? Put your hand up. We got the whole team. There he is right there. You saw me face down in a public gym, and you just got me coconut water. Because I tried. But I don't know anything's wrong, and I was doing that a lot. You know, my resting heart rate, normal resting heart rate is what? 65, 70. So my resting heart rate when he checked me was like 180. Oh. So it's like I was running a marathon all the time. Yes. And then he goes, you know, you may want to have an ablation. He explained it to me. I said, I don't want any procedure. He goes, we'll cardiovert you. So for those that don't know, you know, the paddles, right? They shock you. They put me out and ding! And they put it, and then it went back into the rhythm. And then about 24 hours later, it was back, the AFib. And then I cardioverted like three times. And then I said, you can give me an ablation. And an ablation. ...was they go up through the groin. Who doesn't know that the way to a man's heart is through his groin? But anyway, I... I'm still laughing at the heart-on joke. Okay. Please. Why are you repeating it? It's going to be harder for your editors. And for people just tuning in now, they think you're making it worse than it was. Anyway. But they did... So they go up through that main artery, right? And then they just... They zapped it. They zapped the electronic... I was told it was like an electronic issue, right? So there's these cables that start to fray. Yeah. And that lets the electricity go the wrong ways. So they zap it with radio frequency as you burn it. And so no longer can the short-circuiting happen. So the blood's got to go, and the electricity's got to go the right way. So you want to hear a story? So he goes up. Of course you do. We should just sit quietly. Please. I watch this a lot. And there's no quiet time. We need some down time. People could say, did you see Dr. Oz yesterday? Yeah, we had some time to ourselves. It's just we should. I was thinking. If we just sat there and did nothing, turn it on. They're not talking. They're not doing anything. But anyway, so I had the ablation. So they go in through your groin. And in the morning, the guy says, you can go home now. And I'm sitting in the bed. And he gave me a glass of apple juice. And I had a glass of apple juice. And as I drink it, I swear to you, I thought, oh, my God, like, what's wrong? I think it's going right through me. I think I'm urinating. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So, so. So I open up the blanket. You know what's there? Blood. Blood. Yes. So I'm just soaked in blood. I look. I go, what is that? What is that? So I take my gown, not like an evening gown, like a nice little hospital gown, and I look, and every time my heart beats, it's shooting up to, like, the blood. Terrible. It's terrible. So I yell, help! And the doctor comes into the room. He says, help! No, he said, don't worry. He's very calm. He put on gloves like this. He goes, you know, I just need to put pressure on it, right? So he takes his hands. I'm sitting there. I'm covered in blood. I'm on my lap. He takes his hands on my lap, and now he's on my lap. His nose is touching my nose. It's just a man doing push-ups on my crotch with his nose. There's blood everywhere, and he's got to... I guess you need pressure on it for it to... To stop bleeding. To stop bleeding. So he's doing that, and then, like, it's just awkward. And he goes, so, uh, are you still doing your show? On that, on that, when we come back, we had a great game. We're going to turn the tables on Howie and play our own health version of Deal or No Deal. Are you all up for it at home? Deal or No Deal? Are you up for it, Howie? Yeah. All right, stay with us. You can hear the people at home. We're back with the very funny Harvey Mandel, who's hosting a big new version of Deal or No Deal on CNBC, which is Wednesdays at? 8 o'clock. He does know. Yes, CNBC, and I'll tweet along with you live. All right, we thought it would be fun to play our own health version of Deal or No Deal. You up for a little fun here? No, I don't want to have any fun. Yes, let's have fun. Only about the heart, though. Only about the heart. I'm going to give you options. Each of our audience members, you all see three of them here. Inside of them, they have, of the case, they have a remedy for the heart. Oh, these three. These three. Oh, I thought each of them has something inside of them. So, each of these, it's either a deal, which means it works for your heart, or no deal means it does not help your heart. It's completely made up. I get it. Okay? I get it. Pick one. You know the game. Oh, pick a number. All right. Ladies, please. I like saying that. They don't have to go. They're already here. But I'll pick, I'll start with number two. Number two. Ooh. Sex. Good for the heart. Really good for the heart. It's a deal. It's a deal. It's good for the heart. Leave it open. Keep it open. Wait, I'm talking to my wife right now. It's good for the heart. And I have heart issues. I'm going to need a lot of work when this show's over. It's over. All right. I should have just kept Terry out of here. So you are right. It is a deal. Yes. But here's the thing. Here's the ammo to use with your wife. Is what? That sex actually, when people have more of it, men especially, they live longer. Really? It makes a difference. It's the best way to get your heart rate up. Everyone knows that. Really? You can remind her now. Do you always have to be with someone else? Or can you get your heart rate up? You get half credit by yourself. Half credit? Half credit by yourself. You give yourself stickers? Yes, exactly. Okay, all right. So now, the next case. Number one. Case number one is sardines. Before you choose, I would say, before you choose. That goes with sex. Yeah, it does with sex. Or the inverse of it. Here's a little sardine sampling for you. I like the aroma. Do you have a problem with smells? Smells are okay, right? Well, there's certain smells I have a problem with, but not sardines. Sardines is not. Do you have a problem with smells? No, I love... You know, there's actually, it's genetic. Some people are genetically able to deal with all kinds of smells and stuff, and some people genetically can't, where 50% of how we perceive the world is actually genetic. Oh, really? Yes. Well, I love sardines. So does your heart love them? That's the question today. Deal or no deal for the sardines? I think protein, I would think it is a deal. I think it's a healthy food. I hope, ooh, ooh, no, no. You're going to say no? No, salt, because there's a lot of salt. Audience, what do you think? Sardines, heart healthy, deal? Deal? No deal. No deal. No deal. They are the smartest audience in television. They know. They say it's a deal. Oh. And they are right. It's a deal. It's good. Tell me why. It's got omega-3 fats in it. Omega-3 fats are the best fats for your heart. They actually help with irregular heartbeats, believe it or not. Really? Is this clean? It's clean. Okay. Oh, honey, I love you. Let's have sex. Relax. As soon as I finish the sardines, I'm having sex with the heart. All right. All right. Briefcase number three is vegetable broth. Could that go with sex too? I don't know. Well, I'm a Jew, and we eat chicken soup. Me, too. You're a Jew, too? Yes. Well, two Jews. Who knew? Welcome to an odd... Yes! Three Jews. Three Jews. All right. It's really not important. We love everyone here. Deal or no deal? Let me finish my sardine. I don't know. I think it's a deal. I think that's a deal. I do. I think broth, soup is good. Soup is good. Why don't you think deal or no deal? You know why they're split as smart as they are? I'm going to give you partial credit here. I think it's good for you except for the salt because when you buy it in the store, it's too much of it. Yeah. This is not that much salt compared to what's in that vegetable broth. Can I just say something? Please. When I was answering, I was answering considering non-salted broth. Then you're right. Then he's right. How are you guys doing? Fresh or Dump?
