291376 - Increased exercise explained on 140814 1530, ref SDS 69 I17G, may have
291377 - stimulated bone marrow to produce more new blood that increased WBC
291378 - 30% in VA blood test on 140814, per above, ref SDS 69 FK6I, explained
291379 - by Doctor Johnson during a meeting at Kaiser on 030606. ref SDS 1 JP7G
291380 - However, this effect was significantly less, WBC 9.5, in prior lab on
291381 - 140508, and at that time exercise was more than twice the level of
291382 - effort that occurred during the several months prior to the lab on
291383 - 140814.

291386 - Recent infection on left big toe may have elevated WBC 12.8 in VA lab
291387 - on 140814 1530. ref SDS 69 PS6G This was noted in letter to Primary
291388 - Care later today on 140814 2227, ref SDS 70 K055, citing possible side
291389 - effect from treatment for regression of atherosclerosis.
291391 - ..
291392 - On 140819 0800 Doctor Sandhu in Primary Care examined blister on big
291393 - toe left foot, and determined healing was occurring; no treatment was
291394 - prescribed. Ordered follow up CBC lab to re-check WBC for indication
291395 - of continued infection. ref SDS 72 318I
291397 - ..
291398 - On 140826 follow lab for CBC shows WBC 13.8 went up instead of going
291399 - down, ref SDS 73 FK6I, as expected. This might indicate continued
291400 - mild infection of toe blister, and compounded with acalasia symptoms
291401 - of swallowing difficulties, shown in the record of vomitting the past
291402 - few months possibly due to omitting injections of triamcinolone
291403 - steriods during EGD dilation reported on 140509 0900. ref SDS 60 O36G
291405 - ..
291406 - Prior to Heller Myotomy surgery to recover from achalasia on 091216
291407 - 0600, ref SDS 8 KE9U, WBC was elevated for several years. On 050816,
291408 - Doctor Sandhu reported WBC elevated and ordered retest. ref SDS 2 G540
291409 - CBC retest was ordered and WBC remained high on 050818, so the doctor
291410 - prescribed antibiotics. ref SDS 3 BM8O Initial diagnosis of achalasia
291411 - cited persistent elevated WBC part of patient profile, reported on
291412 - 051202 1430. ref SDS 4 H26M
291414 - ..
291415 - Work plan - perform EGD dilation scheduled at VA in Sacramento on
291416 - 140907 0800 with Doctor Lee, and evaluate if resolution of swallowing
291417 - problems resolves elevated WBC.

810694 - Analysis....
810695 -
810696 - 1. NMR LDL-P 997 reported in lipid re-test today on 141106,
810697 - ref SDS 0 U45J, appears to correct evident error and further
810698 - eliminates negative discordance in prior lab 2 weeks ago on
810699 - 141021, reporting LDL-P 1586. ref SDS 76 U45J Since negative
810700 - discordance with LDL-P high > 1600 and LDL-C low < 100
810701 - indicates highest risk for CVD, shown in research on 131125
810702 - 0005, ref SDS 46 FI3G, this lipid re-test on 141106, represents
810703 - complete reversal from dangerous to favorable lipid blood
810704 - chemestry. LDL-P 997 on 141106, rising 17% from LDL-P 851 on
810705 - 140508, reflect 50% decline in hiking due to injury from 1153
810706 - miles during prior period from 140201 - 140514, to only 566
810707 - from 140520 - 141106, shown below. ref SDS 0 9T5M
810709 - ..
810710 - 2. VA advised LDL-P can be "assumed" from TG/HDL ratio, reported
810711 - during the meeting at the Medical Center in San Francisco on
810712 - 140213 0830. ref SDS 55 WQ8L This aligns with research on
810713 - 131125, ref SDS 46 338N, and in PubMed article. ref SDS 46 VR5N
810714 - Assumption of LDL-P from TG/HDL ratio implies stable
810715 - calculation, otherwise "assumptions" are not reliable. In
810716 - this case, the record shows...

810733 - ..
810734 - What research supports "assuming" LDL-P from TG/HDL ratio?
810736 - ..
810737 - 3. Research indicates healthiest cardiovascular condition occurs
810738 - with lowest risk for CVD, when lipids are discordant, with
810739 - LDL-P low and LDL-C high. However, greatest risk for CVD is
810740 - LDL-P high and LDL-C low, shown in the record on 131125 0005.
810741 - ref SDS 46 FI3G
810743 - ..
810744 - VA published goal LDL-C <= 131; Labcorp published goal LCL-C <
810745 - 100. ref SDS 62 5C7M New AHA guidelines show LDL-C < 190,
810746 - reported on 131112 1422. ref SDS 44 HT87
810748 - ..
810749 - VA lowering goal to HDL > 35 from > 40 seems conflicting with
810750 - patient history of CABG +4 on 091022 0700. ref SDS 7 PQWU
810751 - Since HDL 30 was found at that time (see Lipid history below,
810752 - ref SDS 62 W25L, setting the bar at HDL 35 has little tolerance
810753 - for genetic variation to avoid and repair endothelium lesions
810754 - causing atheriosclerotic plaque.
810756 - ..
810757 - 4. Resting heart rate getting up in the mornings remains slightly
810758 - above 50, though sometimes falls below 50. Blood pressure
810759 - averages about 120 65; however, Diastolic often falls below 60.
810760 - After 11 mile hikes blood pressure drops to about 105 55.
810761 - Systolic on occassion falls below 90. Dystalic has fallen
810762 - below 50 - e.g., see Saturday, 141018, reported in case study
810763 - on 120101 0900, ref SDS 21 V83O Heart rate now recovers well
810764 - after strenuous exercise, often falling back below 60 within 20
810765 - minutes or so.

810776 - Ezetimibe 10 mg for 12 months, varying between 157 - 174.

810781 - LDL-C......................... 67................ ref SDS 0 U45J
810783 - ..
810784 - 19 unit decline of LDL-C from prior Liposcience test on 141021,
810785 - and 23 point deline from VA test the same day, accomplishes VA
810786 - goal to lower LDL-C < 70 reported in Progress Notes on 140519
810787 - 0800. ref SDS 64 OW3K Since LDL-C is calculated and so can be
810788 - "assumed" from the Friedwald equation...Cholesterol - HDL -
810789 - TG/5 (reported on 140213 0830. ref SDS 55 Z37L), the 20 point
810790 - decline in cholesterol, results in 20 point decline in LDL-C,
810791 - because TG and HDL remain relatively stable.
810793 - ..
810794 - Liposcience (Labcorp subcontractor) will be contacted to
810795 - reconcile 20 unit decline in cholesterol in just 2 weeks, which
810796 - conflicts with stable cholesterol past 12 months, shown in

810807 - on 141021. TG rising 5 appears conflicting with increasing
810808 - exercise hiking 150 miles, while diet and medication remain
810809 - constant. Ordinarily hiking 150 miles in 2 weeks would lower
