Testosterone, Menopause, and Heart Disease

Written by Dr. Carrie Jones on November 17, 2009 - 9:40pm

Testosterone is an often overlooked hormone in the grand scheme of menopause but the truth is, it helps with hotflashes, nightsweats, bone loss, energy, self-esteem, sexual desire, and orgasm response. For many women, this important hormone decreases with age however for some, it actually increases leading to increased facial hair, acne, and an increased risk for heart disease.

A Woman’s Heart, Niacin and the HDL "Good" Cholesterol Connection

Written by Mary Kyle on October 27, 2009 - 10:21pm

Today, there is a lot of focus on lowering your “bad” LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) levels.

A Woman's Heart, What is Angina Anyway?

Written by Mary Kyle on October 12, 2009 - 3:24pm

I’ve often heard someone say that they had “angina” but have never really been clear on exactly what they meant. One friend in particular would shrug her shoulders when suffering from an angina attack and say, “Oh, it’s only angina.”

A Woman’s Heart, Are Statins Right for You?

Written by Mary Kyle on October 7, 2009 - 4:16pm

I’ve had high cholesterol for years. I’ve been thin and “pleasingly plump.” At times I’ve been active, and at others I’ve been the “Stay-Puft-marshmallow-girl.” Regardless of the state of my waist or how much I “glow” (In the South, women do not sweat. We “glow” and I’ve been known to “glow” profusely!), my cholesterol remains high. From time to time, it may be low for me, but is still high by the common medically accepted standards.

Coffee and Cardiovascular Disease: Time to Kick the Habit?

Written by Dr. Carrie Jones on September 1, 2009 - 9:00pm

I am asked almost daily by patients if they have to give up their beloved coffee in the morning. Caffeine consumption is a routine question I review during a visit along with amount of water, juice, and alcohol. Oddly, nobody has any problems telling me they ‘don’t drink enough’ when it comes to water, however coffee is a different story. I can tell the liars when they say “one or two” while looking down at their shoes, in a mad attempt at covering up their secret treat.
