Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School
|
September 8, 2001
Ask the doctor. I am a 73-year-old woman and just found out that I have very high LDL cholesterol (197 mg/dL). I don't have any symptoms of heart disease and I hate taking pills, so I am reluctant to take cholesterol-lowering drugs. One doctor told me I should have a special CT scan of my heart to help decide whether to take medications, but I learned I would have to pay $750 for the test since it isn't covered by insurance. Should I do it?

By the way, doctor... My father-in-law has leukemia, and we all know that he's dying. The family is trying to solve some pretty complicated financial and legal problems that require his involvement, but he can't seem to focus on them. Leukemia's a blood disease, so I don't understand why it seems to be affecting his mental functions

Ask the doctor. I'm a 42-year-old man with no health problems, except for the fact that I'm a bit overweight. I recently had an exercise test because of some chest pain. The good news is that it showed no evidence of heart problems, but during the test my blood pressure quickly shop up to 190 mm Hg. Usually, it's about 35/90 mm Hg. The doctor doing the test didn't seem too alarmed, but I'm concerned

By the way, doctor... Drugs for atrial fibrillation. I had atrial fibrillation and was zapped back into sinus rhythm several weeks ago. It seems like I'm going to have to take either aspirin or Coumadin. Which is better, and why?

By the way, doctor... Antibiotics and heart disease. I have a question about the use of antibiotics as a treatment for heart disease. It seems like people would use them on a continuous basis. Yet isn't widespread antibiotic use now being discouraged because it may breed antibiotic-resistant germs?

Ask the doctor. Recently, I read that the ACE inhibitor ramipril is very good at preventing heart problems, particularly in people with diabetes. I'm diabetic, and for years I have been on a different ACE inhibitor (lisinopril). Should I be taking ramipril instead?

I take Zocor for high cholesterol. My doctor checks my lipid levels every six months and they have been pretty good for a few years now. But he also checks my liver-function tests, because liver damage is one of the side effects of this drug. How worried should I be about this problem, and is checking my liver tests every six months often enough?

Ask the Doctor: I am a woman, age 48, in generally good health, although I've gained about 10 pounds over the past two years. My LDL cholesterol us 142 mg/dL and my HDL cholesterol is 58 mg/dL. I looked at the news reports on the new cholesterol guidelines and was extremely unhappy to see that my LDL is "borderline high". My doctor says I don't need drug therapy. What do you think?
