Ask the doctor. I've been taking vitamin E for years in hopes that it will prevent heart problems. Now the news is that it is of no help at all. Can you shed some light on this?

Ask the doctor. I had a heart attack last year, and afterwards learned that my homocysteine level is elevated. I wanted to start taking vitamins to lower it, but before I make myself swallow another two or three pills per day, is there any proof vitamins will make me live longer?

Ask the doctor. My chest x-ray report said that I had an "uncoiling aorta." My doctor told me that it just means that my aorta is getting longer as I am getting older and that it was normal. But if it was normal, why did they mention it in the report?

Ask the doctor. Recently I read that aspirin can actually increase a person's risk for a stroke by causing bleeding in the brain. I have atrial fibrillation and my doctor wants me to take a blood thinner - if not warfarin, then at least aspirin. I've already had a heart attack and I don't want to run the risk of a stroke, so I have refused. What should I do?

Ask the Doctor. I'm 45 years old. At the doctor's office, my blood pressure readings are usually pretty high (the top number may reach 150 or 160), but my home monitor shows numbers more like 130/90. My doctor calls my problem "white-coat hypertension" and reassures me that it isn't dangerous. But it bothers me that my pressure shoots up like that. I have plenty of stressful moments every day, and my blood pressure must be going up then, too. Should I be on medication?

Ask the doctor. A hospital near me is advertising electron beam CT scanning of the heart to detect coronary artery disease. I don't have any symptoms of heart disease, but I did undergo this test--paying my own money, I would note! It came back with a fairly high calcium score, and the testing people told me to tell me doctor about it. My doctor says he doesn't know what to do with the information. Do you?

Ask the doctor. I am a 40 year old lawyer, and am generally healthy and fit. However, I get a crushing chest pain every now and then... I go to the emergency department to be sure I'm not having a heart attack. After the last visit, I had a coronary angiogram to try to see whether I had heart problems, but it showed no evidence of atherosclerosis... I am still nervous that the test might have missed something
