Compassionate, Comprehensive Cardiology for Adults 60+

Comprehensive Heart Care for Seniors

At Buena Park Heart Center, we help seniors stay active, independent, and safe by diagnosing and treating heart conditions early using advanced testing, experienced cardiology care, and a patient-first approach.

If you or a loved one is experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, swelling of the legs, or palpitations, we are here to help with a thorough cardiovascular evaluation and a clear plan.

Call (714) 821-8588 to schedule a senior heart evaluation.

Why Seniors Choose Buena Park Heart Center

Senior-Focused, Patient, and Thorough

We take time to listen, review medications, and explain results in simple language—so patients and families feel informed and confident.

Advanced Testing in One Place

Many seniors need more than a quick office ECG. We offer a full range of diagnostic testing and heart monitoring to identify problems accurately.

Experience Matters

Our care is led by an experienced interventional cardiologist with decades of clinical practice, including both non-invasive and invasive cardiology.

Clear Plans and Close Follow-Up

Seniors do best with consistent follow-up, medication optimization, and prevention strategies that reduce ER visits and hospitalizations.

Frequent Ask Questions

What are the warning signs of heart disease in seniors?

Common signs include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, and leg swelling—especially if symptoms are new or worsening.

What heart tests are common for older adults?

Many seniors benefit from ECG, echocardiogram, stress testing, rhythm monitoring, vascular ultrasound, and advanced imaging when needed.

Can heart disease symptoms be “atypical” in seniors?

Yes. Some seniors do not feel classic chest pain and may present with fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness, nausea, or confusion—especially during reduced blood flow.

If I can’t walk on a treadmill, can I still be evaluated?

Yes. We offer alternatives such as advanced imaging and monitoring that do not require treadmill exercise.

Do you manage pacemakers and ICDs?

Yes. We provide pacemaker implantation (hospital setting) and ongoing device checks and follow-up in our clinic.
