  • 1. On call. I reread your articles on congestive heart failure when I was diagnosed with the condition last month. My breathing is back to normal, and I feel well. My doctor has prescribed all the medications you recommended, but he disagreed with one. He said that since I'm taking Vasotec, I should stop my aspirin. Do you agree?

  • 2. Ask the doctor. I have had heart failure since my heart attack a year ago. My physician initially prescribed lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky people who got a cough with this drug that was so annoying I had to stop taking it. Now my doctor wants me to try a newer drug called valsartan. Is it likely to help me?

  • 3. On call. I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I reread your articles from December 2003 and January 2004 and found them very helpful. I was hoping that my doctor would prescribe a diuretic, but she said it would not be safe because I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. What do you think?

  • 4. I'm a 57-year-old man with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I had a hard time regulating my pressure until I went on Vasotec, which was great. But I developed a cough, so my doctor switched me to Cozaar. My cough stopped and my pressure seems okay, but I'd like to know what you think of the switch.

  • 5. Ask the doctor. In October 2007, I had three Cypher stents placed in my left anterior descending artery. My doctor told me to take Plavix and aspirin indefinitely. Now I need to have a hernia repaired. My surgeon refuses to operate while I'm taking Plavix and aspirin, and said I would have to stop taking the two drugs five to six days before the operation. My cardiologist says that stopping the Plavix and aspirin, as well as the stress of the operation itself, would throw me into a "hypercoagulable state," greatly increasing my chance of developing a blood clot inside one of the stents. What should I do?

  • 6. On call. I'm a 76-year-old man with an enlarged prostate. I've been taking Cardura and it's helped a lot, but my doctor stopped it because he said a study found the drug could cause heart failure. Now I'm getting up three or four times a night again. Is Cadura safe?

  • 7. On call. My doctor prescribed Zestril for me because I have diabetes, even though my blood pressure has always been normal. I am 54, and my blood sugar came down to normal on pills. Do I really need another medicine?

  • 8. By the way, doctor. My husband takes an aspirin every day to reduce his risk of another heart attack. I'm 60 and healthy. Is there any reason I shouldn't do the same to avoid a heart attack or stroke?

  • 9. Ask the Doctor. I know that there have been a lot of studies showing that beta blockers help patients with congestive heart failure live longer. I have heart failure, and last year my doctor prescribed a beta blocker. In a few days, I became so short of breath that he had me stop taking it. I am upset that I can't use this important therapy. Is there any way I might be able to do so?

  • 10. Ask the doctor. My father has severe heart failure. The doctors say his ejection fraction is only about 10%, and he gets short of breath during any physical activity. I've read that beta blockers are useful for heart failure, but his doctors say they're too risky for my father. I'm worried that he's missing out on a beneficial treatment.

  • 14. I recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation. My doctor gave me pills to slow my heart, but I then had to go into the hospital to have my heart shocked back to its normal rhythm. I'm now taking Coumadin to prevent stroke. I feel fine, but worry that the fibrillation will come back. What brings on this condition?

  • 15. On call. In nearly every issue, you seem to discuss diet, exercise, or smoking - and in some issues you discuss all three. But my doctor has never asked me about my diet or exercise, though he does know that I hate smoking. Why don't I hear more about diet from my doctor?

  • 17. Except for high cholesterol, I've always been pretty healthy for my age (72). But I recently started puffing on the stairs, so my doctor sent me for a set of tests. After the echocardiogram, he told me I had congestive heart failure. He gave me Lasix and I feel much better. But now he wants me to take at least three other pills every day. Do I need all of them if I feel well?
