Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jeffrey Rosen 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:
- Sick Sinus Syndrome: If you have sick sinus syndrome, your heart may beat too slowly or erratically; fortunately, treatment options such as medication or a pacemaker can help stabilize your heartbeat and reduce symptoms, enhancing your independence and quality of life.
- Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Damage to the heart's tricuspid valve from past rheumatic fever, known as rheumatic tricuspid disease, can be addressed through careful monitoring and treatment, often involving medication, to lessen symptoms and maintain your quality of life.
- Hypertensive Encephalopathy: Hypertensive encephalopathy is a medical emergency where extremely high blood pressure harms the brain, causing symptoms such as seizures or coma, and immediate treatment is crucial to protect the brain and prevent long-term disability.
- Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: If you have both high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, this combined condition requires careful monitoring and treatment to protect your heart and kidneys; this management can help you live a more comfortable life.
- Aortic Stenosis: Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve in your heart, making it harder for blood to flow efficiently, but with proper management and potentially treatment, you can maintain a good quality of life.
- First Degree Heart Block: In first-degree heart block, the heart's electrical impulses take a little longer to travel from the top to the bottom chambers, leading to a slightly slowed heart rate, but it usually doesn't cause symptoms and often requires no treatment.
- Arrhythmias: If you're experiencing an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), don't worryyour doctor can help. Treatment options, including medication or pacing devices, often improve symptoms and help maintain your independence.
- Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral valve disease affects the valve that controls blood flow between two chambers of your heart. This can cause issues like irregular heartbeat or fluid buildup. Managing this condition through medications, lifestyle changes, or, if necessary, surgery, can help you stay active and enjoy life.
- Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: Mobitz type 2 heart block is a heart rhythm problem where the heart's signals don't always reach the lower chambers efficiently, but it's often managed with regular checkups and may not require medication, preserving your independence.
- Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Developing a DVT, a blood clot in a deep vein, can be concerning, but effective treatments, often involving blood thinners, can prevent it from traveling to your lungs and improve your comfort and mobility.
- Mitral Valve Regurgitation: In mitral valve regurgitation, a heart valve doesn't close completely, causing some blood to flow backward. This can be treated with lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery to help you feel stronger and more active.
- 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.
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.

- Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a non-invasive test that helps doctors diagnose a wide range of heart conditions, ensuring you receive the appropriate treatment and management plan to maintain your well-being.
- Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: This painless test is a valuable tool to evaluate blood circulation and help detect early signs of peripheral vascular disease, allowing for timely intervention and preventing serious complications.
- Coronary Angiogram: A coronary angiogram is a specialized test that shows the flow of blood through your heart's arteries, assisting your doctor in creating a personalized care plan to manage your heart health and prevent future complications.
