@oldkarl- Nice to see your post again. Have missed them Karl!. When you mention getting a good screening of the whole genome such as a Echocardiography, do I need to request this in addition to say having an Echo? I'm tentatively scheduled to have another Echo in 2 months after bringing my Lisinopril up to 40 mg. over this past year. Thanks much! Jim@thankful

I’m using a cocktail of Lisinopril, Amlodipine, Carvelidol, to keep my blood pressure low. Please research how these meds works and ask your cardiologist. Inflammation in the arteries is another cause of high blood pressure and plaque creation. Ask for a test. Most Drs. uses the Framingham study results to compare your various lab results. This study is from the 1960’s and many things have changed since. Never be happy to be in the high end of the test limits, I rather be in the low end. Cardiologist make money when they intervene when you have a heart attack not when they do prevention. Just my opinion. Research, research. Good luck
