Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Martin Zenni II 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:
- Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a dangerous blood clot in a deep leg vein that can be treated effectively with medication, significantly lowering the risk of severe consequences, keeping you comfortable and able to enjoy life to the fullest.
- Hypertensive Heart with Failure: Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure means your heart is weakened and struggling to pump blood effectively due to high blood pressure, but with proper management, including medications and lifestyle changes, you can improve your heart's function and your overall well-being.
- Long COVID Disorder: Experiencing ongoing health problems after a COVID-19 infection may mean you have Long COVID. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving your overall health, helping you stay as active and engaged as possible.
- Mitral Valve Stenosis: Mitral valve stenosis means your heart's mitral valve is stiff and doesn't open properly. This can cause problems like chest pain or dizziness, but thankfully, there are treatments available to help you feel better and live more comfortably.
- Aortic Valve Disease: Aortic valve disease affects the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the body, sometimes causing breathlessness or chest discomfort. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment—which might involve medication, surgery, or both—many people can live full and active lives.
- Mitral Valve Regurgitation: A leaky mitral valve, causing mitral valve regurgitation, can affect your heart's pumping efficiency. Various treatments, from medication to surgery, are available to manage the condition and help you maintain a comfortable and fulfilling life.
- Hypertensive Heart without Failure: High blood pressure is putting extra strain on your heart, but it's not showing signs of heart failure yet; by controlling your blood pressure through medication and healthy habits, we can keep your heart strong and prevent future problems.
- Congestive Heart Failure: Congestive heart failure (CHF) happens when your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, but with proper management, you can live a full and active life.
- Foot Infection: Foot infections are common, especially in older adults, but prompt medical attention leads to faster healing, reducing pain and the risk of more serious issues that could limit your independence.
- Atherosclerosis of Aorta: Think of your aorta like a main water pipe – atherosclerosis is like a buildup of gunk inside, slowing down the flow. However, through careful management and regular check-ups with your doctor, we can maintain a healthy flow and reduce risks.
- Typical Atrial Flutter: Atrial flutter is a heart rhythm problem where the heart beats too fast and irregularly, potentially leading to symptoms like palpitations, but treatment such as medication or cardioversion can help regulate your heart rate and reduce these symptoms.
- Coronary Artery Dissection: This condition involves a tear in a blood vessel supplying the heart; treatments, such as medication or surgery, aim to restore blood flow, relieving pain and reducing the risk of more serious issues, helping you stay healthy and independent.
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. Martin Zenni II offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:

- Cardiac Imaging: To help manage heart conditions, cardiac imaging provides crucial visuals of your heart, enabling doctors to detect problems early and tailor treatment effectively.
- Chest CT (incl. Heart and Lungs): If you're experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath, a chest CT scan can help doctors pinpoint the cause, guiding their decision on the best treatment approach for your comfort and recovery.
- Coronary Angiogram: To better understand your heart health and develop an effective management plan, a coronary angiogram provides detailed images of your arteries, showing where blockages might be affecting blood flow.
- Cardiac Ultrasound: To ensure your heart's health, a cardiac ultrasound provides detailed images of its chambers, valves, and blood flow, helping your physician diagnose and manage any underlying conditions.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): This simple test can help your doctor assess your risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), allowing for early intervention and better management of symptoms.
- HeartAware Online Risk Screening: As part of your overall wellness plan, HeartAware Online Risk Screening helps you and your doctor understand your heart health risks, enabling better management of your health.
- TCD Bubble Test: A transcranial Doppler (TCD) bubble test helps your doctor assess blood flow in your brain to identify potential blockages or problems with your circulatory system, improving your overall care plan.
- Cardiovascular Stress Test: This non-invasive procedure is a crucial step in understanding your heart's capabilities and helps guide decisions about your treatment and lifestyle modifications.
- Nuclear Stress Testing: Nuclear stress testing helps your doctor assess how well your heart is working during physical activity to diagnose potential heart problems and guide treatment decisions.
- Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: By showing how well your heart is pumping blood, a pharmacologic nuclear stress test helps your doctor manage and potentially prevent serious heart problems, contributing to a healthier aging process.
- Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: A cardiovascular diagnostic test helps assess the health of your heart and blood vessels, ensuring that your doctor is equipped to make informed decisions regarding your ongoing treatment.
