Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School
|
July 6, 2001
Ask the doctor. I've read that defibrillators are being placed on airplanes and in other public places. They cost just a few thousand dollars, so I was thinking about buying one for my home. Is that a good idea?

Ask the doctor. I've had a leaky mitral valve for many years. My doctor thinks I should have the valve replaced fairly soon. Is there anything I can do to delay this surgery?

Ask the doctor. I read that Vice President Cheney received an implantable defibrillator because of some extra beats on his electrocardiogram. I've also had some extra beats, but I've never had a heart attack or any other heart problems. My doctor told me not to worry. Is the Vice President getting better care than I am?

By the way, doctor... I like my doctor, but I can't help but notice that he doesn't seem to wash his hands before or after he examines me. Should I say something to him?

I have aortic regurgitation (leaking of the aortic valve), and my physician says it is time to think about surgery. I feel pretty well - I can ski, play tennis. What do I have to lose by putting the surgery off?

Ask the doctor. Just two years ago, my total cholesterol was 175 mg/dL, and my LDL cholesterol was 128 mg/dL. This week my doctor told me that my cholesterol was 240 and my LDL was 170. I haven't gained any weight or changed my diet--what's going on?

By the way, doctor... I recently had a hacking cough, and my doctor told me that I had bronchitis. He told me I didn't need antibiotics. is this some managed-care attempt to save money at my expense?

By the way, doctor... A local hospital is advertising that I can get a CT scan of my entire body for $700. If it's negative, they say that shows that I don't have cancer. My insurance company won't cover this, but it seems like it might be worth the money if one of these scans can find something. Do you think it's a good idea?

By the way, doctor... I'm 78 and have a long history of heart valve trouble - a leaky aortic valve, to be exact. But now it looks like my creaky left hip needs to be replaced. My husband is worried that my heart won't be able to take the operation. My doctors think I should be okay. Who's right?

Ask the doctor. I am 68 years old and had a heart attack last year. I think I am doing fine and passed my last exercise test with flying colors. But about a month ago I had a fainting spell, which occurred when I went to the bathroom after a big meal. In addition, I frequently feel lightheaded for a few seconds when I stand up. I think that problem has been there for years. Do you think these spells are related to my heart?
