[quote=Anonymous]So I have a terrible family history of heart disease. I'm 52 years old and have been on Lipitor and lose dose aspirin for 20 years since my dad and brother died. Mother died when I was little. One sister died about 18 years ago. Another sister had a triple bypass about 15 years ago. However, my lifestyle is drastically different than theirs. They were/are over weight/obese/morbidly obese. Inactive. Terrible diet. Alcoholism. Heavy smokers. etc etc. I'm very active, eat way better, etc. But my family doctor thought that it was time that I get a CTA scan of the heart and it came back with my LAD being 50%-69% blocked. I have a follow up appt with the family doctor in less than two weeks then I'm sure I'll go to a cardiologist. But, man, I thought lifestyle would have overcame genetics, but it seems not the case for me. I'm wondering...anyone out there get these similar results? What next steps did the doctors have you do? Thanks [/quote]
