Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Ethan Siev 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:
- Atrial Septal Defect: An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart, which can sometimes cause shortness of breath or fatigue, but often requires no treatment and can be managed with regular checkups.
- Acute Coronary Syndrome: Experiencing chest pain or discomfort? It could be acute coronary syndrome, a condition requiring immediate medical attention; early diagnosis and treatment can lessen the severity of the condition, potentially helping you remain active and healthy.
- Pulmonary Valve Disease: If your pulmonary valvethe gatekeeper of blood flow to your lungsis narrowed or leaky, it might affect your breathing and stamina; thankfully, many treatments are available to alleviate these effects.
- Hypertensive Heart without Failure: Even though your heart is under pressure from high blood pressure (hypertensive heart disease), it's still pumping well. Focusing on controlling your blood pressure with treatment can help avoid future problems and improve your overall health.
- Sinus Bradycardia: Sinus bradycardia means your heart's natural pacemaker is slower than normal; with proper management, such as medication or a pacemaker, you can maintain your independence and enjoy life to the fullest.
- Heart Disease: Heart disease can impact your ability to enjoy daily activities, but with proper treatment and care, including medication and healthy habits, you can significantly improve your quality of life and continue doing what you love.
- Cor Pulmonale: Cor pulmonale is a heart problem caused by lung disease; managing the underlying lung condition is key to improving heart function and overall well-being.
- Heart Attack (STEMI): A STEMI is a serious type of heart attack where a main blood vessel to your heart is completely blocked, leading to heart muscle damage; fast treatment with procedures like balloon angioplasty often restores blood flow and reduces the risk of complications, keeping you active and independent.
- Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: If you have rheumatic tricuspid disease, stemming from past rheumatic fever, know that it's manageable. Your doctor can work with you to develop a personalized approach, including medication and lifestyle changes, to help you feel better and live a fulfilling life.
- Secondary Renovascular Hypertension: Secondary renovascular hypertension is high blood pressure caused by narrowed arteries in your kidneys, and managing it with medication or procedures can help keep your heart healthy and improve your overall well-being.
- Pericardial Disease: Pericardial disease involves inflammation or infection of the sac surrounding your heart, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath to improve comfort and daily living.
- 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.
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. Ethan Siev offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:

- Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac imaging uses advanced technology like ultrasound or X-rays to create detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels, helping your doctor assess your heart health and guide your treatment plan.
- 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.
- Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Cardiac myocardial perfusion imaging is a non-invasive scan that helps your doctor assess how well blood flows to your heart muscle, aiding in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
- Cardiac Ultrasound: Cardiac ultrasound helps doctors detect potential heart problems early, allowing for timely interventions and improved long-term care.
- Cardiovascular Stress Test: A cardiovascular stress test helps your doctor assess your heart's ability to handle physical exertion, revealing potential problems like narrowed arteries.
- Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): As part of your comprehensive heart health assessment, cardiac catheterization can provide crucial information about the health of your heart's blood vessels, enabling your doctor to develop the most effective care plan for you.
- Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: This advanced imaging technique allows for early detection of heart problems, enabling timely intervention and improving your long-term heart health outlook.
- Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: By using medication to simulate exercise and imaging your heart, a pharmacologic nuclear stress test aids in diagnosing coronary artery disease and guiding your doctor's decisions on next steps.
- Coronary Angiogram: If you're experiencing chest pain or other heart-related symptoms, a coronary angiogram can help your cardiologist pinpoint the location and severity of any blockages in your coronary arteries, leading to targeted treatment.
- Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a procedure that uses electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm, helping seniors manage irregular heartbeats and improve their overall heart health.

Here are answers to some common questions about Cardiovascular care with Dr. Ethan Siev:
- What is a Cardiologist, and why might a senior need to see one?
- Dr. Siev and his team are cardiologists, specialists in heart and blood vessel health. Seeing a cardiologist is important for seniors with existing heart conditions, new symptoms, or to manage risk factors and maintain a healthy heart for a longer, more independent life. This partnership helps seniors stay active and enjoy their golden years.
- What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Ethan Siev?
- Your first visit with Dr. Siev will be a comprehensive conversation about your heart health, reviewing your medical history and medications. A physical exam and EKG will follow, all to create a personalized care plan that respects your goals.
- What are the most important heart health tips for seniors?
- Dr. Siev and his team encourage seniors to prioritize regular, gentle exercise like walking, take medications as prescribed, maintain a heart-healthy diet, and recognize warning signs of heart issues. By partnering with your doctor and making these lifestyle choices, you'll be empowered to take control of your heart health.
- What is a pacemaker for?
- A pacemaker is a small device that helps the heart maintain a steady, regular rhythm when it's beating too slowly. This can reduce symptoms like dizziness or fatigue, allowing for a more active lifestyle.
- What is an echocardiogram?
- An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a painless ultrasound of the heart, similar to what's used in pregnancy. It uses sound waves to create moving pictures of the heart, helping Dr. Siev check its pumping strength and valve function.
- What is Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.)?
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition where the arteries in the legs narrow, reducing blood flow. It's often linked to overall heart health and is a significant risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Common symptoms include leg pain when walking, which typically improves with rest.
- What is the difference between 'good' (HDL) and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol?
- Good" (HDL) cholesterol is like a helpful cleaner, removing "lousy" (LDL) cholesterol from your arteries. Dr. Siev helps manage both to keep your heart and circulation healthy. LDL can build up and cause problems, while HDL helps keep your arteries clear.
- What does a 'heart failure' diagnosis mean?
- A heart failure diagnosis means the heart isn't pumping blood as effectively. It's a manageable condition, and Dr. Siev will work with you to use medications and lifestyle changes to improve symptoms like breathlessness and swelling, allowing you to live more comfortably and actively.
