Plendil, or felodipine, is a calcium channel blocker used by doctors to help reduce patients blood pressure.

Does beer clog your arteries?
Beer contains alcohol, when digested the body turns alcohol (ethanol) into acetaldehyde (toxic to the liver), which is oxidized into acetate. Also produced are lactate, malate, fatty acids, and ketone. This cause a problem with protein synthesis and causes fatty deposits in the liver. This leads to fatty infiltration and scarring of the liver, which can lead to alcoholic hepatitis and/or cirrhosis. So the major damage to the body is to the liver from prolonged excessive drinking. Cholesterol is the primary cause of clogging or hardening of the arteries and excess alcohol consumption has no direct effect on cholesterol levels. Triglyceride levels are generally elevated as well as liver enzymes (from liver damage), this can lead to other health problems such as pancreatitis, and liver failure.

What can cause high AST and LDH in liver function test?
In my case, I was told "non-alcoholic fatty liver." High blood cholesterol may cause high SGOT/AST and a specific LDH "type" (they can tell from whence the LDH originates) may be elevated. If they said liver, then fatty liver is usually the culprit. Habitual alcohol or certain medication use may cause fatty liver as well. Losing weight is said to help lower those two. Lowering blood cholesterol is important to help the "fatty liver" lessen it's load. In my case, years pass and more bloodwork reveals the same, plus leukemia and lymphoma. I am in poor general health, so I think the high AST & LDH are from the fatty liver and not the cancers. A CBC will inform your doctor if there are abnormalities that would point him/her away from fatty liver.
