Review content:
I am a 73 year old retired Boeing Engineer. I have been under the care of Dr Raveen Arora for the last 10 years. I have seen my share of cardioliogist in my lifetime. I retired at the age of 70 from Boeing but while i was employed i ran over 100 miles a week (30 miles in one day on the weekend) preparing for marathons, 50 milers and the ultimate: 100 mile endurance run in the local mountain (AC100). One of my lifetime goals is to live 100+ years with no assistants. Both of my parent lived into there 90s so genetically i am ok. But both eventually had cardiovascular disease which caused there downfall. So my primary interest with a cardioligist is to establish a ""baseline"" then work with a doctor and attempt to improve on my overall cariovascular health (i.e. reverse any coronary blockage i had). When i first met Dr Arora we talked and he tried to understand what i wanted. I told him i want to live to be 100++ with no one assisting me (i.e. no wheel chair). I want to be very active at 100++. He told me about his mother and how he is caring for her. Then he said I am going to treat you the same way i treat my mother. My choloresterol, triglyceride and blood pressure has always been very normal (not a problem), because i ran over 100 miles a week, was pretty much a vegetarian, i was in excellent health to start out with. I did not have a cardiovascular problem but i wanted to improve on my baseline.\r
Long story short, Dr Raveen and i worked together on a drug regimentation that includes: statin drug (Crestor 10mg), niacin (Niaspan 2000mg) and baby aspirin 83 mg for about 3 years which lowered by LDL and trigliceride and raised my HDL. But what we were both after was to move from LDL Density (Pattern) B to Pattern A. Most people (including Dr 'Arora and his mother) are Pattern B which has a higher risk of of cardiovascular disease. The high dosage of Niacin over many years causes the change. Three weeks ago i had VAP Lipid Panel done at his office and to our surprise, i moved from Pattern B to A. Nothing is perfect in life and medicine is is a practice that requires years of patience and experience. I know what i want!. I know what my baseline heart data was when first met Dr Arora. I want to improve beyond the old baseline. After many years of effort we made the first big step in the direction i want to go.\r
100++.
