Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Angel Martin provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Chest Pain: Don't hesitate to contact your healthcare provider if you have chest pain, as it could be a sign of a treatable heart condition, improving your quality of life and reducing the risk of future complications.
- Hypertensive Heart Disease: Hypertensive heart disease means your heart is working harder than it should because of high blood pressure, which can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes to protect your heart's health and maintain your independence.
- Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg, and can cause pain, swelling, and potentially serious complications if left untreated, but with prompt medical attention, you can get back to enjoying your life.
- Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral valve disease happens when the mitral valve in your heart doesn't open or close properly, affecting blood flow and potentially causing fatigue or shortness of breath, but treatments like medication or surgery can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
- Sinus Tachycardia: If you experience sinus tachycardia, it means your heart's natural pacemaker is sending out signals too rapidly; managing this often involves identifying and treating the underlying cause to improve your overall well-being.
- Mitral Valve Regurgitation: Mitral valve regurgitation happens when your heart's mitral valve doesn't close tightly enough, allowing blood to leak backward, which can be managed with medication or, in some cases, surgery to improve your energy levels and overall well-being.
- Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease: Hypertensive chronic kidney disease means high blood pressure is damaging your kidneys over time, but managing both conditions with medication and lifestyle changes can help you stay healthier and more independent.
- Heart Attack (Acute Myocardial Infarction): Heart attacks can be serious, but with advancements in medical care, effective treatments are available to restore blood flow to the heart, minimizing damage and improving your chances of a full recovery and maintaining your daily activities.
- Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a condition where the heart beats irregularly and too quickly. While this may sound concerning, effective treatments are available to help regulate your heart rhythm and minimize symptoms, promoting independence and well-being.
- Atrial Flutter: Atrial flutter is a type of heart rhythm problem where the top chambers of your heart beat too fast, potentially leading to dizziness or weakness; however, medication, and in some cases procedures, help regulate the heartbeat and improve your well-being.
- Cardiomegaly: An enlarged heart, known as cardiomegaly, can affect how well your heart pumps blood, but with proper medical care, you can maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
- Tricuspid Valve Disease: If your tricuspid valve, one of the heart's four valves, isn't working as it should, it can cause symptoms like swelling in your legs or abdomen, but thankfully, there are various treatment options available to help manage these issues and enhance your overall well-being.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
To provide comprehensive and person-centered care, Dr. Angel Martin offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:
- Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: This procedure involves placing a small device under the skin to detect irregular heartbeats and deliver therapy (such as shocks) to restore a normal rhythm, thus improving survival rates in high-risk individuals.
- Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): Cardiac catheterization, often involving angiography, can help determine the severity of heart disease, guiding your doctor in deciding if you need medication, angioplasty, or other treatments.
- Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: This heart scan helps doctors evaluate the extent of any blockage in your heart's arteries, allowing for a more precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Cardiac Ultrasound: Cardiac ultrasound helps doctors detect potential heart problems early, allowing for timely interventions and improved long-term care.
- Cardioversion: As part of a comprehensive heart care plan, cardioversion can be used to treat certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, ensuring seniors remain stable and healthy.
- Electrocardiogram (EKG): As part of your comprehensive heart health plan, an EKG helps assess the overall rhythm and function of your heart, informing potential interventions and optimizing treatment.
- Impella Device: For seniors facing serious heart issues, the Impella device can temporarily take over some of the heart's pumping work, aiding recovery from heart surgery or other critical events.
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps open blocked arteries in your heart, improving blood flow and reducing chest pain.
- Peripheral Artery Catheterization: To help manage your peripheral artery disease (PAD), your doctor may use peripheral artery catheterization to visualize your arteries and identify areas needing treatment, ultimately improving your blood flow and quality of life.
- Thrombolysis: To aid in managing heart attack symptoms, your doctor might use thrombolysis, a treatment to dissolve the blood clot causing the blockage and restoring blood flow.
- Tilt_Testing: For seniors experiencing unexplained falls, a tilt table test can help pinpoint the cause, ensuring safer, more effective management of balance and mobility issues.
- Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: As a key part of your cardiovascular health assessment, vascular duplex ultrasonography and plethysmography help determine the severity of blockages in your arteries and veins, guiding choices for medication or further procedures.

Here are answers to some common questions about Cardiovascular care with Dr. Angel Martin:
- What is a Cardiologist, and why might a senior need to see one?
- Dr. Angel Martin and her team of cardiologists specialize in the heart and blood vessels. Seeing a cardiologist is important for seniors with existing heart conditions, new symptoms, or to manage risk factors, partnering with you to maintain your heart health and independence.
- What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Angel Martin?
- Your first visit with Dr. Martin will be a comprehensive discussion about your heart health. We will review your medical history and medications, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. This is the first step in creating a personalized care plan that respects your goals and preferences.
- What are the most important heart health tips for seniors?
- Dr. Martin's practice emphasizes heart-healthy habits for seniors, including regular, gentle exercise like walking, taking medications as prescribed, and eating a low-sodium diet. Knowing the warning signs of heart problems and promptly reporting them to Dr. Martin empowers seniors to be active participants in their heart health.
- What is Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.)?
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition where arteries in the legs narrow, reducing blood flow. This circulatory issue is linked to overall heart health and is a significant risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Common symptoms include leg pain when walking, often relieved by rest.
- My heart valve is leaking. Does that require surgery?
- Dr. Martin will closely monitor your leaking valve, often with echocardiograms. Many people live well with mild or moderate valve issues for years, and surgery is only considered if the problem worsens. We'll plan the best course of treatment together.
- What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)?
- Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common irregular heartbeat that often occurs in older adults. It is highly manageable, and our primary goal is to prevent stroke through blood thinners and to control symptoms with other medications.
- What is a heart stent?
- A heart stent is a tiny mesh tube that acts like a scaffold to hold open a narrowed artery in the heart. It's placed during a minimally invasive procedure to restore blood flow and relieve chest pain.
- What is an echocardiogram?
- An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a painless ultrasound of the heart, similar to those used in pregnancy. It uses sound waves to create moving pictures of the heart, helping us check the heart's pumping strength and the function of its valves.
