Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School

Ask the doctor. In your May article on blood sugar control, you kept talking about hemoglobin A1c. I measure my blood sugar all the time, but my meter doesn't have a setting for a percentage reading. Is there a simple connection between blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c?

Ask the doctor. I had a stent put in several years ago, at age 59. Thanks to a better diet, more exercise, a statin, and niacin, my LDL, HDL, and triglycerides are excellent. My latest nuclear stress test showed some ischemia, even though I am not having any symptoms, and the follow up angiogram showed several new blockages requiring two additional stents. I think my cardiologist should order tests like apolipoprotein A, LDL particle size and number, etc., to dig more deeply into why my coronary arteries keep getting clogged despite my best efforts. Is that a good idea or a waste of time and money?

Ask the doctor. I'm a fit 61-year-old who had bypass surgery 15 years ago. Recently, I've been having rapid heart-beats (what my doctor calls supraventricular tachycardia) during or just after vigorous exercise. Should I tone down my exercise?

Ask the doctor. I read that angiotensin-receptor blockers cause cancer. I take one (Diovan) for my blood pressure. Should I stop?

Ask the doctor. My daughter gave me a pedometer and told me to walk 10,000 steps a day. When I wore it for a while, I realized I was taking only about 3,000 steps a day. Is 10,000 a realistic number for someone my age (70 years)?

Ask the doctor. On my last blood test, my triglycerides were 280. Should I be worried about that? My doctor wants me to start taking something called Lopid. Is there another solution?
