Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School
|
November 11, 2011
Ask the doctor. My 69-year-old husband has had cardiomyopathy and diabetes for several years. Lately his ankles are always swollen. At his last doctor's visit, my husband's cardiologist said his heart has leaky valves and his ejection fraction is 10%. What would be the best plan for him?

Ask the doctor. My blood pressure has wide swings each day. It can go as high as 210/110 with even minor stress like grocery shopping, then fall to 100/50, which makes me tired and needing rest. I take 15 mg of isosorbide dinitrate and a slow-release nitrate for angina. I also take 10 mg of atenolol (Tenormin) to slow my heart rate. My doctor says I'm just a "reactive person." My diet is excellent, and I try to keep active. Could my adrenal glands have anything to do with this?

Ask the doctor. My doctor and I are confused by my cholesterol levels. My good cholesterol is extraordinarily high, at 94, but my bad cholesterol is on the high side, too, at 154. To resolve this good news/bad news story, my doctor ordered a C-reactive protein test which, of course, came back right in the middle of the normal range. I don't smoke or have other factors for heart disease. Would you advise me at start a statin or some other drug?

Ask the doctor. I'm worried that someday I will confuse my heartburn with my angina or a heart attack and end up in the emergency room for nothing. How do I tell the difference?

Ask the doctor. Since having a heart attack, I have been taking lisinopril, Zocor, Plavix, aspirin, a multivitamin, fish oil, calcium, vitamin D, coenzyme Q(10), chia oil, B-50 complex, grape seed extract, Nu-Zymes, Natural Energy supplement, Super C22 and astragalus. I am thinking of taking a brain booster called Procera AVH. Will it interfere with my heart medications?

Ask the doctor. Several years ago, a friend in my sewing circle was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. My doctor just told me I have heart failure. Are these the same condition or different ones?

Ask the doctor. I know that exercise is good for my heart, which is one reason why I took up long-distance running. But I have heard that marathon running damages the heart. Is that true?
