What tests should be included in an annual cardio checkup? I am 56, based in Toronto, where the standard of care appears to be blood pressure monitoring, an occasional but not annual EKG, and a stress test every few years. What additional tests should this checkup include based on the research? Thanks
OB/Gyn and ApoE 3/4 carrier here... Any information on uric acid in preeclampsia? Does avoidance of fructose/carbs help decrease risk? Long ago, we were more concerned about uric acid levels in preeclampsia. Although the elevated levels have been removed from diagnostic criteria, those of us who remember know all too well how dangerous an elevated uric acid level is in this disease. Also, in regard to the Pfizer drug that blocks fructokinase that was undergoing FDA studies: would that drug be potentially helpful in decreasing Alzheimer's Disease? Can you discuss? Thanks!
