system: Why should I be concerned about cholesterol?
output: Too much cholesterol in your body means that you have an increased risk of getting cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease. If you have too much cholesterol in your body, the cholesterol can build up inside the walls of the arteries that carry blood to your heart. This buildup, which occurs over time, causes less blood and oxygen to get to your heart. This can cause chest pain and heart attacks. Too much cholesterol can also increase your risk of stroke.
system: What is a good level of HDL (good) cholesterol?
output: A level less than 40 is low and is considered a risk factor because it increases your risk for developing heart disease. HDL levels of 60 or more help to lower your risk for heart disease. Remember, a higher HDL number is better, however.
system: At what age should people begin having their cholesterol checked?
output: If you have too much cholesterol in your body, the cholesterol can build up inside the walls of the arteries that carry blood to your heart. Total cholesterol should be measured at least every five years starting at age 20 and more often if you have a family history of high cholesterol. Note: If you have high cholesterol and your doctor has told you there may be an underlying genetic cause, you may want to have your children, under age 20, get their cholesterol levels tested. Talk to your children's health care providers about cholesterol testing.
system: How does kidney exchange work?
output: Another possibility is called paired kidney exchange in which recipients who have donors that are not compatible can enter programs where they are able to "swap" donors. Those who need a transplant often ask if they can buy an organ.
system: What is organ transplantation?
output: Organ transplantation -- the surgical removal of a healthy organ from one person and its transplantation into another person whose organ has failed or was injured -- is often lifesaving and gives the recipient a wonderful new lease on life. But organ transplantation is also a major surgery that carries potential risks and drawbacks, such as the chance of organ rejection.

Higher-strength steroids are best for areas of the skin that don't clear up with milder steroids or areas with thicker plaques.
system: What is mild to moderate psoriasis?
output: Mild to moderate psoriasis means that the red, scaly patches ("plaques") cover less than 10% of your body. But just because your psoriasis is called "mild" doesn't mean it's easy to live with. If the patches are in visible places like your hands or legs, you may be embarrassed to go out without wearing long sleeves and pants.

system: Do I still need to get checkups if my cancer is in complete remission?
output: Your doctor or health care center will continue to check for signs of cancer or health problems related to your treatment. It's crucial to get all recommended checkups, even if you have no symptoms. Follow-up care can include physical exams, blood tests, and imaging tests.
system: What does recurrence mean in cancer?
output: Some cancer cells can remain unnoticed in the body for years after treatment. If a cancer returns after it has been in remission, it's called a ârecurrence.â It's normal to be concerned that this will happen to you. Every situation is different, and there's no way to predict what will happen.
system: Does remission mean the same thing for everyone?
output: If you've been diagnosed with cancer, you're probably hoping to hear your doctor use the word âremission.â It marks a major turn in your care and long-term health.
system: Isn't complete remission the same thing as my cancer being cured?
output: There's no way for doctors to know that all of the cancer cells in your body are gone, which is why many doctors don't use the word âcured.â If cancer cells do come back, it usually happens within the 5 years following the first diagnosis and treatment.
system: What does follow-up care for cancer look like?
output: It's something you will need to continue to check. Complete remission means that tests, physical exams, and scans show that all signs of your cancer are gone. If a cancer returns after it has been in remission, it's called a ârecurrence.â It's normal to be concerned that this will happen to you.
system: How do I know if I have heartburn?
output: Your description of your symptoms may be all a doctor requires to diagnose heartburn, but sometimes additional testing may be necessary. The esophagus can be viewed through an endoscope, a long, thin, flexible tube inserted through the mouth, or by X-ray. Sometimes, your doctor may recommend a 24-hour esophageal p H probe study, especially if you have unusual symptoms, such as throat or chest or abdominal pain, coughing, or asthma-like symptoms. To detect if your heart is the cause of your symptoms, an electrocardiogram ( ECG), a recording of the heart's electrical activity, may be taken.
system: How long is the recovery after a Maze procedure to treat atrial fibrillation?
output: If it's with open-heart surgery, you should plan on staying in the hospital for about a week. Overall, it will take about 2 months to recover if there are no complications. If you have a robotic-assisted procedure, you may only need to stay in the hospital a day or two after the surgery. You will also be able to return to normal activities sooner than if you have open-heart surgery. It will take about 6 months for the scars to fully form. You may still have a few episodes of AFib during your recovery. But for many people, this procedure is successful at stopping their symptoms.
system: What are the risks of Maze surgery for atrial fibrillation?
output: Before any procedure, it's wise to discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery with your doctor. The possible risks are like those from other types of heart surgery: Heart attack Stroke Bleeding problems Infection New arrhythmias developing The main benefits are fewer or possibly no more symptoms and lower chances of blood clots and stroke. You may also feel more energetic and be able to exercise longer than you have in some time.
system: How does robotic-assisted surgery work in treating atrial fibrillation?
output: The doctor makes several small cuts between your ribs and uses a camera to guide catheters for another type of AFib treatment called ablation. Your doctor puts a thin, flexible tube into a blood vessel in your leg or neck. It'll guide the creation of scar tissue that may help keep your heartbeat at the right pace.
system: How does convergent procedure work in treating atrial fibrillation?
output: Mini maze: Most people with AFib don't need open-heart surgery. The doctor uses radio waves (radiofrequency ablation) in the pulmonary vein, and a surgeon makes a small cut under your breastbone to use radiofrequency energy on the outside of your heart.

Your doctor might want you to have it through an IV tube.
