I finally have an appointment to see a cardiologist about my systolic
click on April 27.
I'm a little freaked out in the meantime, though. I'm still having
dizzy spells, chest pains and difficulty breathing.

I had Angioplasty on April 4 and will return to work without restrictions on
the 19th is this about the normal time-frame? I actually feel pretty well
with the exception of the groin area where they inserted the wire, it left a
very bad bruise. I work as a letter-carrier and am ...

I am taking a capsule that has 600 mg and 30 mg of CoQ10.  It suggests
taking two of these daily but I am only taking one.  I do need to bring
my cholesterol down.  I am wondering
if taking a lower dose has any effectiveness.

Dear S.M.C,
Since the age of sixteen, after using many energy drinks, I've
struggled with angina-like chest pain and bouts of tachycardia. I've
had many tests, including a stress SPECT scan, echocardiogram, and

I just got my hCRP back today. It was 3.2. How abnormal is that? My
total was cholesterol and my blood suger was normal. I do suffer from
much chest pain, but have a normal heart cath and MRI with no past MI.

I have this condition for last 5 years. Now my cardiologist suggesting
that I undergo T Wave Alternans test and based on that test he wants to
use ICD. I would appreciate if anybody explain in depth what advantage
and disadvantage of  ICD.Thanks.

A revolution in medicine?

If he has not already been given the lifetime achievement award, at the
very least I would like to nominate the ubiquitous Dr. A. Chung for
April. His tireless ranting about a global earthquake for 3/29/06 was
then followed by further admonitions that the catastrophe was imminent,

A little over an hour until "The Big One"...
I just wanted to say goodbye to everyone, especially Chung.  One solace
is that he will finally stop posting... unless they have Internet
connectivity in Hell.

Atorvastatin Appears Safe at High Doses
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Feb 20 (updated Feb 27) - A high dose of
atorvastatin (80 mg) has a safety profile similar to that of a lower dose of
the drug (10 mg), results of a meta-analysis show.

I had my dual-chamber DDDR pacemaker, Medtronic KDR701, implanted in
year 2002 against AV block and bradycardia.
Last december I underwent ablation of paroxysmal afib, with only
partial success so far.

maybe those individuals who feel atorvastatin at 80 mgm/day is so safe
would be well advised to cease all exercise.......
