Ask the doctor. I am an 85-year-old man with advanced aortic valve stenosis, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation. Otherwise, my general health is pretty good. My doctor said I should wait until I experience symptoms or signs of heart failure before having aortic valve replaced. Shouldn't I get it done before my heart gets so stressed that I go into heart failure?

Ask the doctor. When doctors interpret a blood pressure reading, should they also consider the heart rate? I am a 78-year-old man and have had high blood pressure (under control) for more than 40 years. I frequently monitor my blood pressure at home, resting for five minutes before I take the reading. My blood pressure is often higher when my heart rate is close to its usual resting rate (about 50 beats per minute) and lower when my heart heart is beating faster than that. Can the body's demands that cause higher blood pressure be partially satisfied by a faster heart rate?

Ask the doctor. I need to catheterize myself because of bladder problems. In April 2007, I had five stents put in my heart and started taking Plavix. Since then, I sometimes see a light tinge of blood in the catheter bag, though lately the blood flow has been more substantial. The book "Worst Pills, Best Pills" says Plavix should be used for only a limited time, but my internist tells me I should be on it for the rest of my life. I am 88 years old and take aspirin (325 mg) every day. How long will I need to take Plavix?

Ask the doctor. I am 70 years old, and since I started taking testosterone to boost below-normal levels of that hormone, my LDL and HDL levels have dropped. What's the cholesterol-testosterone connection?

Ask the doctor. I've heard you should take an aspirin if you think you are having a heart attack. I already take aspirin (325 mg) every day. Should I still take an aspirin if I feel a heart attack coming on?

Ask the doctor. Are the coronary arteries more prone to developing blockages than arteries elsewhere in the body? When arteries from other parts of the body are used in bypass surgery, does their tendency to become blocked change?
