Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School

July 19, 2013
Ask the doctors. I recently had a drug-eluting stent placed in one of my coronary arteries after an episode of severe chest pain. My doctor told me I had to take Plavix every day. Now I feel perfectly fine-except for my right hip. I need a hip replacement, but my orthopedist wants to wait until I'm off Plavix before operating. How long is long enough to be on this drug?

Ask the doctors. I am 71 years old, have chronic kidney failure, and am on dialysis. I know my overall outlook is not good, and I wonder whether it is worth it to take a statin to control my cholesterol

Ask the doctor. I need surgery for a gastrointestinal problem, and my question is how to handle my antiplatelet therapy, which I have been taking for two years since I had angioplasty. I take aspirin and clopidogrel, which were started after I had a heart attack and a stent was placed to keep the narrowed artery open. Things have been going just fine. But I know the surgeon wants to stop the clopidogrel during the period around the surgery, and that worries me

Ask the doctors. My doctor suggested I consider getting a left ventricular assist device [LVAD], and I am overwhelmed at the idea. I have severe heart failure and get short of breath with virtually every activity--sometimes just sitting in a chair. But the idea of having a device inside me forever scares me. Should I do it?

Ask the doctors. I am 58 years old and in pretty good health, but at 120 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), my blood glucose test was a little high on my last routine physical. My physician told me not to worry about it, but I am wondering if I should get screened for diabetes with some other test

Ask the doctors. I once had Hodgkin's disease and was cured with radiation to my chest and neck. Now, 30 years later, I have shortness of breath. Is there any way to reverse the radiation damage to my lungs and heart?

Ask the doctor. I am a healthy 52 year old who likes to stay fit. Recently, I have occasionally fainted after doing eight or 10 chin-ups. My physician did an EKG and stress test the first time this happened and found my heart is normal. He had me wear a monitor for 24 hours, and it indicated nothing was wrong. Your thoughts?

Ask the doctor. I am a 47-year-old man with diabetes being treated with insulin and high blood pressure treated with lisinopril and low-dose hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). I have read that HCTZ can actually cause diabetes. My physician says not to worry about it, but I do

Ask the doctors. I am 90 years old and have had severe heart failure for seven years after having a heart attack. I have an implantable defibrillator. It has never gone off. It is near the end of its lifetime, and the cardiologist asked me if I want it replaced. What would you advise?
