I think you are very wise and I believe you will receive a quick reply from the cardiologist. I had a case in July 2008 where a surgeon said he could put me into theatre, perform an arterectomy on my left coronary artery, and this would remove all the disease giving me a normal life again. He actually offered to do the procedure a week later. I researched this procedure and told him that I would let him know in due course because I was...

I think Spike put it very well; "What is it that is Good in your life? I know there must be something. I can think of at least two things myself, 1, You beat cancer! 2, You survived a heartattack! " You're two for two! If you can pull that off I would say you can do anything, just keep thinking positive and let us know how we can help. Jon

Thanks for the info, Ken. The computerized systems work well if the doctors and hospitals are all interconnected. Our doctor here is in the same system, but if another doctor sees us who does not have access to the same system, they cannot pull up any records at all.

according to Dr. Ben Balzer, grains were never meant to be used for human consumption and our bodies don't react well to them. i feel better without grains as well... http://www.earth360.com/diet_paleodiet_balzer.html Article by Dr. Ben Balzer on diet.

I put incompetence of doctors under the unbrella of unsuitability.  That not only includes improperly trained but not able/fit to practice effectively.  It can include in house pressures to meet a quota,  pressure to reduce costs, etc.  As an example is HMO insurance.  The policy includes their own doctors under contract as well as some...

You start now by eating healthy, keeping your weight down and exercising.  Stay away from fatty Xanthoma , greasy, foods containing trans fat.  Heredity also plays a role in cholesterol.  Statins do improve cholesterol levels, but not sure if they have any affect one existing plaque. I think it just keeps it from getting worse. When you have your cholesterol checked the number they...

2nd, 3rd, and 4th day you should still have been in the hospital and should have asked about it there.  Grendslori is right but there is also the medication, anesthesia, and probably a slew of other things.  Unfortunately I had overdosing problems so I can't give a good review in this regard but I will say I felt very week for the first First progesterone mc10 First progesterone mc5 First-progesterone...

My cardiologist probably thinking a non English background patient wouldn't have any knowledge of HEART.  He hide my wpw for 20 years.  He told me the wpw has fixed.  I can feel my chest is not right since 2005.  I tell him everytime when I see him.  He told me it is nothing wrong.  My heart is perfect.  It is...

I am a heart patient w9ith history of ischemic MI. I always had my cholostral under control and I was all along very active. I never attempted heavy exercise regime, but I used to do 45 minutes of brisk walking five days a week. I am a non smoker. My diet was mostly vegeterian. Still I had clogged arteries. As I phisically recover from effects of MI (weakness, SOB, worry, recovery from heart enlargement), I have started believing that it is...

Frequent persistent pvc's [bigeminy & trigeminy] can cause sob if frequent enough  or that's how my EP explained it to me.  They can lead to cardiomyopathy (which I developed) and the CP may have been due to the over 54,000 pvc's I kept having; Sinus bradycardia (51 was my average on ekg's); Short QT intervals <360 ms [330-350]; short RR's and wide...
