[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3848078, member: 3099"] I'm certainly not saying he's wrong, but bear in mind that your numbers aren't as bad as he's making them out to be. His HDL/LDL numbers are best case scenarios because cardiologists gonna cardiology. <--- cheesy pun Look at it as a goal. From your posts here it sounds like he's just trying to get you to improve your numbers as much as you can. Between that and the Lipitor he is "pushing the can down the road" for that blockage in your small arteries. I have no personal experience but my dad had 9 angioplasties before his first surgery. Yes NINE, that's not a typo. He eventually had a triple bypass that was supposed to be a quad (couldn't on one, as it was a total loss), a carotid bypass on one side, a carotid on the other side and then a 2nd carotid bypass on the original and then a couple of stents after bypass. Dad had all kinds of arterial disease and it was seen in his early '40s in the military. Dad's cardiologist's retirement was made on my dad. Lol. He was under his care for almost 30 years. Dad wasn't really ever overweight, his problem was mainly smoking and a sedentary lifestyle. I follow quite well in his footsteps but haven't had any issues yet that dad had. I think it's in the genes we inherit and I take after my grandfather on my dad's side. Thankfully! Gramps had a bypass at 89 years old. [/QUOTE]
