Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School

November 28, 2002
Ask the doctor. I try to exercise every day to raise my heart rate. The standard formula of 220 minus age (I'm 79) times 0.9 gives an excessively high target for me. Because my resting heart rate is under 50, I would need to more than double my heart rate to reach a target of 128. Does the standard formula apply to people like me?

Ask the doctor. I have had heart failure since my heart attack a year ago. My physician initially prescribed lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky people who got a cough with this drug that was so annoying I had to stop taking it. Now my doctor wants me to try a newer drug called valsartan. Is it likely to help me?

Ask the doctor. I am 73 years old and have had a heart murmur for years. Now my doctor tells me that I have moderate narrowing of my aortic valve. I feel perfectly fine, but he says I may need heart surgery some day. Is there anything I can do to avoid having surgery?

By the way, doctor. My husband is 72 and had a bad heart attack six months ago. He is so depressed and some days barely wants to get out of bed. He says, "Of course I'm depressed. I have a bad heart." My son thinks he ought to be taking an antidepressant

By the way doctor. Last fall, my mother went into a deep depression. The same thing happened about five years ago, but she took an antidepressant for a few weeks and it went away. This time she's been depressed for nearly a year. No medication has helped. Now her doctors want her to try electroshock therapy, but that scares her--and me

By the way, doctor. I remember reading that bacteria might be the cause of heart disease, but I haven't seen anything about it lately. Did that research reach a dead end?

Ask the doctor. I am an 80-year-old woman who had a triple bypass many years ago. The veins of my legs have closed, and my feet and legs are swollen and painful. My doctor explained that the blood flows down the legs but does not flow back up. She also said that nothing can be done for it. Is this true?
