I"m on the real near side of 70. Five years ago I had my first angioplasty with a stent. Cardiologist said that if I could get through six month without the stent clogging I"d probably be ok. Big time wake up call. What I"d had was a light heart attack a few months earlier and hadn"t really done much about it.

After the angioplasty I reduced the fats: no butter, cheese, only non fat milk, no hamburgers, and on and on and on. Made it through the six months. I"m on Zocor at 40 mg a day. It reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver. I also eat hot oatmeal for breakfast 28 days a month. I"ve relented on some of the fats. My LDL in November last year was 87.

But, cholestrol level is not the sole factor in cardio vascular problems. Information and data is emerging that inflamation in the arteries is a significant factor in heart attacks.

As far as work is concerned, you need to get the heart rate up.

Do some searching on the web for cholestrol and heart problems.
