Small, sustainable changes outperform dramatic short-term restrictions. Key takeaways The Mediterranean and DASH patterns have the strongest evidence for cardiovascular benefit. Replace refined carbs and processed meats with vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and fish. Sodium below 2,300 mg per day meaningfully lowers blood pressure. Consistency beats perfection — small daily choices compound over decades. The Mediterranean patternThe Mediterranean diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, olive oil, nuts, and fish, with limited red meat and refined sugar. Multiple large trials show reductions in cardiovascular events.It is a pattern, not a prescription — the goal is a mostly plant-based, whole-food way of eating you can sustain for life. Fats and carbohydrates that helpPrioritize unsaturated fats from olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish. Limit saturated fat (fatty red meat, butter) and avoid trans fats entirely.Choose complex carbohydrates — vegetables, legumes, whole grains — over refined starches and added sugar, which raise triglycerides and worsen insulin resistance. The sodium and processed-food questionAbout 70% of dietary sodium comes from packaged and restaurant food. Cooking at home even a few nights a week gives you substantial control over sodium and hidden sugar.Reading labels for sodium, added sugar, and ingredient lists is one of the highest-yield habits in preventive cardiology. Diet is one part of the plan. If your numbers are high, see our high blood pressure page. When to see a cardiologist A cardiologist can help translate general nutrition principles into a plan that accounts for your lipid profile, blood pressure, weight goals, diabetes status, and any medications.

Restoring flow gives the wound a real chance to heal. What to know first A wound open longer than 4 weeks needs a vascular evaluation — not just wound care. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic venous insufficiency are the two most common drivers. Minimally invasive, catheter-based treatments are aimed at restoring blood flow so the wound can heal. Why it matters Non-healing wounds are the leading cause of amputation in the United States. Early vascular evaluation identifies which vessels are the problem — and how to reopen them.For arterial wounds, restoring blood flow with angioplasty, atherectomy, or stenting improves the chance of healing. For venous ulcers, closing the diseased vein removes the pressure that keeps the wound open. Common symptoms A sore on the foot, toe, ankle, or shin that has not healed in 4 weeks Coldness, numbness, or pale color in the affected foot Pain in the leg or foot at rest, especially at night Slow-healing scrapes or blisters, particularly if you have diabetes Wound near the ankle with surrounding brown or leathery skin (often venous) If you have diabetes or known PAD, do not wait four weeks. Have the wound checked sooner. How we treat it Arterial workup (ABI, duplex ultrasound, angiography) Confirms whether an artery is blocked, where, and how tightly — so we can plan a targeted intervention. https://amavita.health/services/pad-screening About the leg circulation check Angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting Minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures that restore blood flow to the wound bed. https://amavita.health/services/leg-angioplasty-and-stenting About leg angioplasty and stenting Endovenous ablation for venous ulcers Closes the diseased vein driving pressure into the ankle, so wound care can actually heal the ulcer. https://amavita.health/services/vein-treatment About vein treatment Frequently asked How soon should I see a vascular specialist for a leg wound? Any wound on the foot or lower leg that has not shown clear improvement in 2–4 weeks should be evaluated. If you have diabetes or known PAD, evaluate sooner. Do you work with wound care centers? Yes. We coordinate with wound care teams and primary care physicians throughout Miami-Dade so the vascular workup and wound care happen in parallel, not sequentially. Will I need surgery? Most patients avoid open surgery. Modern endovascular treatment uses a tiny pinhole access at the wrist or groin, and most people go home the same day. Is the evaluation covered by insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Have the blood flow to that wound checked. Call (305) 249-5666 and tell us you have a wound that is not healing. We verify your insurance before your visit and work alongside your wound care team. --- ## About URL: https://amavita.health/about/ About Our Practice Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark & the amavita Heart and Vascular Health® Story amavita Heart and Vascular Health® is the Miami interventional cardiology practice of Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, MD, FACC — Harvard Medical School-trained, ABIM triple board certified, and Fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

Tres herramientas, una punción pequeña Un catéter es un tubo fino y flexible. Se guía por la arteria hasta el punto estrechado. Los médicos lo llaman tratamiento endovascular — trabajar desde adentro del vaso sanguíneo. Angioplastia Se infla un balón pequeño dentro de la arteria estrechada para ensancharla y luego se retira. Aterectomía Un dispositivo en el catéter raspa la placa (la acumulación de grasa) de la pared de la arteria. Stent Se coloca un stent — un tubito de malla — para mantener la arteria abierta. Para quién es Estos procedimientos son para personas con enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) — arterias estrechadas en las piernas — cuando los síntomas limitan la vida diaria o no mejoran con terapia médica — por ejemplo, un dolor en las piernas al caminar que no le deja hacer su rutina normal — o cuando la mala circulación impide que una herida en la pierna o el pie sane.No todas las personas con EAP necesitan un procedimiento. Muchos pacientes mejoran significativamente con un programa de ejercicio estructurado, medicación y control de factores de riesgo. La decisión se toma con usted después del chequeo de circulación en las piernas. Qué pasa ese día Esta es la secuencia habitual. Sus propias instrucciones se las da nuestro equipo antes del procedimiento. Antes de venir Recibe instrucciones sobre qué comer, qué beber y sus medicamentos — sobre todo los anticoagulantes y los de la diabetes. Pídale a alguien que lo lleve a casa. Anestesia local y sedación ligera El procedimiento se hace con anestesia local y sedación ligera. Usted está relajado, pero no completamente dormido. Una punción pequeña, no un corte El catéter entra por una punción pequeña en la ingle o la muñeca y se guía hasta la arteria de la pierna con rayos X y medio de contraste. Se abre la arteria El médico usa angioplastia, aterectomía, un stent o una combinación, según lo que necesite la arteria. Recuperación y regreso a casa Usted descansa mientras el equipo vigila el sitio de la punción. La mayoría de los pacientes regresa a casa el mismo día y vuelve a caminar pronto. Dónde se hace Los procedimientos se realizan en el centro de cirugía ambulatoria propio de amavita, ubicado en nuestro consultorio de Kendall — 9408 SW 87th Ave, Suite 303, Miami, FL 33176. Un centro de cirugía ambulatoria es una instalación para pacientes que no se quedan internados: usted llega, se hace el procedimiento, se recupera y regresa a casa, sin ingresar a un hospital.Para los casos que requieren ingreso al hospital, el Dr. Martinez-Clark tiene privilegios de médico tratante en HCA Florida Mercy Hospital y Jackson Memorial.Las consultas y las visitas de seguimiento son en cualquiera de los dos consultorios: Kendall o North Miami Beach. Después del procedimiento Abrir la arteria es una parte de la atención. Seguir controlando los factores de riesgo — no fumar, caminar y tomar los medicamentos que su médico le recete — protege el resultado. Las visitas de seguimiento revisan que la sangre siga fluyendo bien.Como todo procedimiento, este tiene riesgos, entre ellos sangrado o moretones en el sitio de la punción y efectos del medio de contraste en los riñones. El Dr. Martinez-Clark revisa con usted sus riesgos individuales antes de que decida. Qué traer Una identificación con foto y su tarjeta de seguro Una lista de sus medicamentos actuales con dosis Cualquier resultado o imagen cardiovascular previa (en disco si es posible) Una lista de preguntas o preocupaciones que desee discutir con el Dr. Martinez-Clark Un adulto que lo lleve a casa Una lista de todos los medicamentos y suplementos que toma, incluidos los anticoagulantes Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Preguntas sobre la angioplastia de piernas ¿Necesitaré cirugía? La mayoría de los pacientes evita la cirugía abierta. El tratamiento endovascular moderno usa un pequeño acceso puntiforme en la muñeca o ingle, y la mayoría de la gente vuelve a casa el mismo día. ¿Necesito un stent? No siempre. Muchos pacientes mejoran significativamente con un programa de ejercicio estructurado, medicación y control de factores de riesgo. Los procedimientos se reservan para síntomas que limitan la vida diaria o continúan a pesar de la terapia médica. ¿Qué es el tratamiento endovascular? Los procedimientos endovasculares usan pequeños puntos de acceso con catéter en lugar de cirugía abierta. La mayoría de los pacientes regresa a casa el mismo día, vuelve a caminar pronto y evita la recuperación larga y las cicatrices de la cirugía vascular tradicional. ¿Lo cubre el seguro? Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Vea los planes que aceptamos. Me dijeron que quizás necesite una amputación. ¿Puedo pedir otra opinión? Sí. Una evaluación vascular temprana identifica qué vasos son el problema — y si se pueden reabrir. Llame al (305) 249-5666 y díganos que es urgente. Traiga sus imágenes y registros recientes. Sepa si las arterias de sus piernas se pueden reabrir. Llame al (305) 249-5666 o deje su número y un coordinador de atención le devolverá la llamada dentro de un día hábil. Verificamos su seguro antes de su visita. La mayoría de los pacientes nuevos son atendidos en 5–7 días hábiles. --- ## Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) URL: https://amavita.health/conditions/atrial-fibrillation/ Heart Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular, often fast rhythm arising from the heart’s upper chambers. It ranges from silent to disabling — and it raises stroke risk when not properly managed. How AFib feels — and how it hides Some patients feel every beat: a fluttering, pounding, or “fish flopping” sensation in the chest. Others notice only exercise intolerance, fatigue, or lightheadedness. Many discover AFib incidentally on a routine EKG or wearable device.Because silent AFib carries the same stroke risk as symptomatic AFib, screening matters — particularly after age 65.Call 911 for palpitations that come with fainting, chest pain, or trouble breathing, or for any sign of stroke: sudden weakness on one side, a drooping face, or trouble speaking. Why stroke risk goes up The chaotic upper-chamber activity lets blood pool in a small pouch of the heart (the left atrial appendage), where clots can form. If a clot travels to the brain, it causes a stroke.Your cardiologist uses a risk score to decide whether anticoagulation — blood-thinning medicine — is right for you. How we check your rhythm EKG and rhythm monitoring An electrocardiogram records the rhythm at the visit. If the irregular beats come and go, longer monitoring may be needed to catch them. About the EKG and rhythm monitoring https://amavita.health/services/electrocardiogram Echocardiogram A heart ultrasound looks at the heart’s structure and pump function. About the echocardiogram https://amavita.health/services/echocardiogram Looking for what drives it Sleep apnea, high blood pressure, obesity, and alcohol can all drive AFib. Treating them is often as important as any procedure. More about the tests: EKG and heart rhythm monitoring · echocardiogram. Treatment options We provide long-term medical management and procedural treatment for atrial fibrillation and other rhythm disorders. Which path fits you is decided at the consultation. Stroke prevention Anticoagulation is the most important protective step for patients whose risk score calls for it. Rate control Medications that slow the heart rate so the heart works more comfortably. Rhythm control Medication or catheter ablation — a minimally invasive procedure — aimed at restoring a normal rhythm in appropriately selected patients. Questions about AFib My watch says I may have AFib. What should I do? See a cardiologist promptly if a wearable or clinician has detected an irregular rhythm, or if you have unexplained palpitations, fatigue, or shortness of breath. Bring the readings with you. I already have AFib. Can I get a second opinion? Yes. If you have known AFib and want a second opinion on your anticoagulation and rhythm strategy, bring your records and medication list to the consultation. Do you accept my insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Where can I read more? Our Learning Center has a patient article: Atrial Fibrillation Basics. An irregular heartbeat should be looked at.

It ranges from silent and incidental to disabling — and it dramatically raises stroke risk when not properly managed. Key takeaways AFib is an irregular, often fast rhythm arising from the heart's upper chambers. It may cause palpitations, fatigue, or shortness of breath — or no symptoms at all. AFib increases stroke risk five-fold; anticoagulation is the most important protective step. Rhythm control with medication or catheter ablation can restore quality of life. How AFib feels — and how it hidesSome patients feel every beat: a fluttering, pounding, or 'fish flopping' sensation in the chest. Others notice only exercise intolerance, fatigue, or lightheadedness. Many discover AFib incidentally on a routine ECG or wearable device.Because silent AFib carries the same stroke risk as symptomatic AFib, screening matters — particularly after age 65. Why stroke risk goes upThe chaotic upper-chamber activity lets blood pool in the left atrial appendage, where clots can form. If a clot travels to the brain, it causes a stroke.Your cardiologist uses risk scores (CHA₂DS₂-VASc) to decide whether anticoagulation — with modern DOAC medications — is right for you. Rhythm and rate controlMedications can slow the heart rate (rate control) or attempt to restore normal rhythm (rhythm control). For many patients, catheter ablation — a minimally invasive procedure — is now a first-line option because it outperforms medication for long-term rhythm control in appropriately selected patients.Treating the drivers of AFib (sleep apnea, hypertension, obesity, alcohol) is often as important as the procedure itself. For how we check your rhythm and the treatment options, see our atrial fibrillation page. When to see a cardiologist See a cardiologist promptly if a wearable or clinician has detected an irregular rhythm, if you have unexplained palpitations, fatigue, or shortness of breath, or if you have known AFib and want a second opinion on your anticoagulation and rhythm strategy.Educational content only — never a substitute for personalized medical advice.

It is often performed through the wrist (radial access) for greater comfort. What it is Cardiac catheterization (also called a heart cath or coronary angiography) is the definitive test for evaluating the arteries that supply your heart. A catheter — a thin, flexible tube — is threaded to the heart. Contrast dye and X-ray reveal blockages in real time.If a significant blockage is found, it can often be treated in the same session with a stent. See coronary angioplasty and stenting. Who it is for A cardiologist recommends catheterization: When non-invasive tests suggest significant coronary disease When symptoms such as chest pain are severe or unstable After a heart attack When an abnormal heart test needs a definitive answer If someone has recommended a cath and you want a second opinion, we routinely review outside imaging and stress tests. Before, during, and after Before the procedure Your cardiologist discusses why the test is recommended, the alternatives, and the specific risks. You will receive instructions about medications (particularly blood thinners and diabetes medications) and fasting. Bring a list of every medication and supplement you take. Risks discussed include bleeding, kidney effects from contrast, arrhythmia, and rare vascular injury. During the procedure You will be awake but relaxed with light sedation. The team numbs the wrist (or occasionally the groin) and inserts a thin catheter into the artery, guiding it to the heart using X-ray. Contrast is injected to image the coronary arteries in real time. If a significant blockage is identified, the team may proceed directly to angioplasty and stenting — a discussion that ideally happens with you before the procedure begins. After the procedure You will rest a few hours with a compression band on the wrist. Most patients go home the same day. Expect a small bruise, mild soreness at the puncture site, and instructions to avoid heavy lifting for a few days. Follow-up focuses on optimizing medications and lifestyle to prevent progression, regardless of whether a stent was placed. Where it is done Procedures are performed at amavita’s dedicated ambulatory surgery center, co-located at our Kendall office — 9408 SW 87th Ave, Suite 303, Miami, FL 33176. An ambulatory surgery center is an outpatient facility: you come in, have the procedure, recover, and go home, without a hospital admission.For cases requiring hospital admission, Dr. Martinez-Clark has attending privileges at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and Jackson Memorial.Consultations and follow-up visits are at either office: Kendall or North Miami Beach. What to bring A photo ID and your insurance card A list of current medications and dosages Any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible) A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark An adult to drive you home Results of any stress test, echocardiogram, or CT scan done elsewhere Questions about cardiac catheterization Why the wrist instead of the groin? Wrist (radial) access is preferred whenever possible for faster recovery and fewer complications. The groin is used occasionally when the wrist artery is not suitable. Will I be asleep? No. You will be awake but relaxed with light sedation, and the puncture site is numbed. When can I get back to normal? Most patients go home the same day and resume normal activity within a week. You will be asked to avoid heavy lifting for a few days. Is it covered by insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Where can I read more? See our Learning Center article Cardiac Catheterization: What to Expect Before, During, and After. Been told you need a heart cath? Talk it through first.

This guide walks through the most common catheter-based and minimally invasive procedures — what they treat, how they're done, and what recovery looks like. What you'll learn Why procedures are usedCardiac catheterization and stentingVascular procedures for the legsGenicular artery embolization for knee painRecovery, safety, and follow-up Why procedures are usedProcedures answer two questions medication cannot. First, they can definitively map the anatomy — showing exactly where and how much a vessel is narrowed. Second, they can restore blood flow or treat a source of pain in a single session, often with same-day discharge.The bar for offering a procedure is high: symptoms, imaging, and shared decision-making all have to line up. Not every narrowing needs a stent. Cardiac catheterization and stentingDuring a cardiac catheterization, a thin tube is guided from the wrist or groin to the heart's arteries. Contrast dye and X-ray reveal blockages in real time. If a critical narrowing is causing symptoms, a stent — a small mesh scaffold — can be placed to hold the artery open, often in the same procedure.Most patients are awake but comfortable. Recovery is typically hours, not days. Vascular procedures for the legsThe same catheter techniques treat blocked leg arteries in patients with PAD. Angioplasty (a small balloon), atherectomy (shaving plaque), and stenting can restore flow, relieve claudication, and help wounds heal.Venous procedures — including radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy — treat varicose veins and venous insufficiency in an office setting. Genicular artery embolization for knee painGAE is a newer, minimally invasive option for chronic knee osteoarthritis pain that has not responded to conservative care. Tiny particles are delivered through a catheter to abnormal blood vessels around the knee, reducing inflammation and pain — often without joint replacement.It is not right for every patient, but for well-selected candidates it can dramatically improve quality of life with minimal downtime. Recovery, safety, and follow-upMost catheter procedures involve a small puncture site rather than a surgical incision, which means low pain scores, short recovery, and quick return to daily activities. Serious complications are uncommon in well-selected patients.Follow-up matters. Medications after stenting or intervention protect the result, and a structured plan for risk-factor control is what makes the benefit last. For the day itself, step by step, see our cardiac catheterization page. When to see a cardiologist You don't have to wait for a procedure to be recommended by someone else. If any of the following apply, a second opinion is reasonable. Chest pain, pressure, or tightness — especially with exertion or shortness of breath. Palpitations, fainting spells, or a heart rhythm that feels irregular. Leg pain when walking, non-healing wounds, or new leg swelling. Family history of early heart disease, or personal history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. You want a proactive, preventive evaluation and a personalized plan.

Compara la presión de la sangre en su tobillo con la presión en su brazo y usa ultrasonido para ver las arterias. Qué incluye el chequeo Índice tobillo-brazo (ITB) Es la primera prueba para la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP, o PAD por sus siglas en inglés): arterias estrechadas en las piernas. Se colocan manguitos de presión en los brazos y en los tobillos y se comparan las lecturas. Una presión más baja en el tobillo sugiere una arteria estrechada en el camino. Ultrasonido de las arterias de las piernas Las imágenes por ultrasonido (también llamado Doppler o dúplex) muestran dónde están los estrechamientos y qué tan importantes son. Se pasa una sonda de mano sobre la piel con gel. Sin agujas y sin radiación. Quién debe hacérselo Busque una evaluación si tiene algo de lo siguiente: Dolor en la pantorrilla, el muslo o el glúteo al caminar que se alivia con el reposo Una herida en el pie o la pierna que tarda en sanar o no sana Frialdad, entumecimiento o cambio de color en un pie Diabetes más otro factor de riesgo cardiovascular, como fumar, presión alta o colesterol alto Muchas personas con EAP no tienen ningún síntoma. La enfermedad a menudo se descubre en un chequeo de ITB. Un dolor fuerte y repentino en la pierna, con la pierna fría y pálida, es una emergencia — vaya a la sala de emergencias o llame al 911.

This website and our office line are not for emergencies. What chest pain can feel like Cardiac chest pain (angina) is often described as pressure, tightness, or a heavy weight sitting on the chest. It may spread to the left arm, neck, jaw, or upper back, and it typically appears with activity or stress and eases with rest.Non-cardiac chest pain — from acid reflux, chest-wall muscles, or anxiety — is often sharp, positional, or reproducible when you press on the chest. But symptoms overlap, and self-diagnosis is unreliable.Women, older adults, and people with diabetes may have atypical symptoms: unusual fatigue, back or upper abdominal pain, or shortness of breath with normal activity. Why it happens Causes in the heart and blood vessels Coronary artery disease (partial blockage), heart attack (complete blockage), pericarditis (inflammation around the heart), and arrhythmia (rhythm problems). Aortic dissection is a rare but life-threatening emergency. https://amavita.health/conditions/coronary-artery-disease About blocked heart arteries Causes outside the heart Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), costochondritis (rib-cartilage inflammation), muscle strain, panic attacks, and lung conditions such as pneumonia or pulmonary embolism.

Why it happens Leg veins have small one-way valves that keep blood moving up toward the heart. When those valves leak, blood falls back down and pools in the lower leg. Doctors call this venous reflux.The extra pressure is what causes the heaviness, the swelling by evening, and — over years — the skin changes around the ankle. What it feels like Heaviness or aching in the legs, worse after standing Swelling that worsens by evening Visible varicose veins Brown or leathery skin, or itching, around the ankles A sore near the ankle that is slow to heal (a venous ulcer) Sudden swelling in one leg with pain, warmth, or redness can be a blood clot and needs urgent evaluation. With chest pain or shortness of breath, call 911. How we check your veins For venous disease, duplex ultrasound maps reflux and clots. These studies are quick, painless, and done in-office. Most patients get the vein-reflux study during the same visit when it is needed.Because leg swelling can also come from the heart or kidneys, the visit includes a physical exam and, where needed, basic bloodwork. Treatment options Compression and medical management Graduated compression and lifestyle guidance, coordinated with any heart or kidney care you already receive. Thermal vein closure Radiofrequency or laser energy closes the diseased vein from the inside through a tiny catheter. https://amavita.health/services/vein-treatment About vein treatment Non-thermal vein closure Medical adhesive or foam closes veins without heat — an option where thermal ablation is less suitable. https://amavita.health/services/vein-treatment About vein treatment What treatment is for We offer modern catheter-based treatments — including thermal and non-thermal vein closure — that are performed at our surgery center and require minimal downtime. Treatment is aimed at improving comfort, mobility, and the appearance of the legs, and at lowering the risk of long-term complications such as venous ulcers.Related pages: swollen legs or ankles · varicose veins.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about leaky leg veins What is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)? CVI occurs when leg veins fail to return blood efficiently to the heart, causing swelling, aching, varicose veins, skin discoloration, and venous ulcers. We offer modern catheter-based treatments — including thermal and non-thermal vein closure — that are performed at our surgery center and require minimal downtime. Is vein treatment covered by insurance? Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover vein evaluations and treatments when there are symptoms and documented reflux on ultrasound. Our team verifies benefits before scheduling. How long does vein closure take to work? Most patients notice reduced heaviness and swelling within a few weeks. Skin healing and discoloration improvements can take several months. Heavy, swollen legs are worth a look.

Doctors also call it PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention). What it is The procedure begins like a cardiac catheterization: a thin tube is guided from the wrist or groin to the heart’s arteries. A small balloon is inflated at the narrowed spot (angioplasty). Then a stent — a small mesh scaffold — is placed to hold the artery open. Who it is for It is for people with coronary artery disease causing chest pain, reduced blood flow, or risk of heart attack.The bar for offering a procedure is high: symptoms, imaging, and shared decision-making all have to line up. Not every narrowing needs a stent. Many are treated with medication and lifestyle changes. What happens on the day Preparation You follow the fasting and medication instructions our team gives you, and arrange a ride home. Local anesthesia and light sedation The procedure is performed through a small radial (wrist) or femoral (groin) catheter access site. Most patients are awake but comfortable. Balloon and stent The artery is imaged with contrast dye, the balloon widens the narrowing, and the stent is placed. Observation Most patients recover quickly with a short observation period. Follow-up Medication and cardiovascular risk-factor management follow. Medications after stenting protect the result. What to bring A photo ID and your insurance card A list of current medications and dosages Any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible) A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark An adult to drive you home A list of every medication and supplement you take Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. Questions about coronary stenting Am I a candidate for a stent at the surgery center instead of a hospital? ASC-based PCI is appropriate only for selected, well-screened patients. If you are being treated for stable coronary artery disease and want to know whether you may be a candidate for outpatient PCI at our Kendall facility, call our practice at (305) 249-5666. I was told I need bypass surgery. Can I get a second opinion? Yes. Amavita frequently provides cardiovascular second opinions for patients who have been advised to undergo open-heart surgery or coronary bypass — situations where a minimally invasive alternative may be available. Bring your imaging and recent records to your consultation. Will I need medicine afterward? Yes. Medications after stenting protect the result, and a structured plan for risk-factor control is what makes the benefit last. Your cardiologist tells you which medicines and for how long. Do you accept my insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Find out whether a stent is the right step for you. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Coronary Artery Disease URL: https://amavita.health/conditions/coronary-artery-disease/ Heart Blocked heart arteries (coronary artery disease) Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, often leading to chest pain and heart attacks. It is the most common form of heart disease. Why it happens In coronary artery disease, cholesterol-rich plaque narrows the arteries that feed the heart muscle. When flow is significantly reduced, patients feel chest pressure with exertion (angina). When a plaque ruptures and a clot forms, the result is a heart attack.You cannot change your age or family history. What you can influence is substantial: blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, tobacco exposure, sleep, physical activity, and diet. What it can feel like Heart and vascular disease often progresses silently for years before symptoms appear. When they do, patients describe: Chest pain, tightness, or pressure — especially with exertion Shortness of breath at rest or with light activity Unusual fatigue, especially with a known cardiac risk factor Jaw, arm, or back discomfort, nausea, or lightheadedness (more common in women, older adults, and people with diabetes) Sudden severe chest pressure lasting more than a few minutes warrants emergency evaluation. Call 911. Do not drive yourself. How we check for it Every evaluation starts with a careful history and physical exam. Depending on your symptoms and risk factors, your cardiologist may recommend: EKG and rhythm monitoring A recording of the heart’s electrical activity. https://amavita.health/services/electrocardiogram About the EKG Echocardiogram A heart ultrasound that shows structure and pump function. https://amavita.health/services/echocardiogram About the echocardiogram Stress testing Exercise or pharmacologic (medicine-based) testing of the heart under load. https://amavita.health/services/stress-test About the stress test Coronary calcium scoring or CT angiography CT pictures that look for calcium and narrowing in the heart’s arteries. https://amavita.health/services/coronary-calcium-score About the calcium score Advanced lipid, inflammatory, and metabolic labs Blood tests that refine your risk beyond a basic cholesterol panel. Cardiac catheterization Used when a definitive answer is needed. https://amavita.health/services/cardiac-catheterization About cardiac catheterization Treatment options Modern therapy blends lifestyle change, medication, and — when needed — procedures. Not every narrowing needs a stent.Medication and risk-factor control. Statins, blood-pressure medications, and newer therapies in the right patients.Coronary angioplasty and stenting. Restore blood flow to the heart through minimally invasive balloon angioplasty and stent placement.Second opinions. We frequently provide second opinions for patients who have been advised to undergo open-heart surgery or coronary bypass — situations where a minimally invasive alternative may be available. Bring your imaging and recent records.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about blocked heart arteries Does a blockage always need a stent? No. The bar for offering a procedure is high: symptoms, imaging, and shared decision-making all have to line up. Many patients are treated with medication and lifestyle changes alone. I have poor circulation in my legs. Should my heart be checked? It is worth asking. Peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease share the same underlying mechanism, and PAD is a strong signal for coronary artery disease. See our page on peripheral artery disease. Is amavita a hospital or an outpatient practice? Amavita is a specialty outpatient practice with two Miami locations and a dedicated in-house surgery center. Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. For cases requiring hospital admission, Dr. Martinez-Clark has attending privileges at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and Jackson Memorial. Know where your heart arteries stand. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Coronary Calcium Score URL: https://amavita.health/services/coronary-calcium-score/ Heart test Coronary calcium score A coronary artery calcium score is a CT scan of the heart that looks for calcium in the walls of the arteries that feed it. Calcium is a marker of plaque — the buildup behind coronary artery disease. Who it helps In your 40s and 50s, a coronary artery calcium score can meaningfully personalize your risk if it’s uncertain from labs and history alone. It can help answer a common question: is my cholesterol something to treat now, or to keep watching?It is a test for people without symptoms. If you have chest pain, other tests answer the question better. If you already have known coronary artery disease or a stent, a calcium score usually adds little. What the scan is like This describes a standard calcium-score CT. You lie on a table The table slides into the CT scanner, which is open at both ends. EKG patches time the pictures to your heartbeat. Hold your breath for a few seconds The scan itself is brief. A standard calcium score uses no needles and no contrast dye. It does use a small dose of X-ray. A number, and what it means for you The result is a score. Your cardiologist explains it together with your cholesterol, blood pressure, and family history — the number alone is not a plan. How we use it Coronary calcium scoring is one of the tests your cardiologist may recommend during a heart evaluation, and it is part of the advanced baseline testing in our longevity program, alongside advanced lipid panels (ApoB, Lp(a)).When a calcium score is ordered, our team tells you where the scan will be done and helps arrange it. The results visit is at either of our offices. What to bring to the results visit Your recent cholesterol and blood sugar results A list of current medications and dosages What you know about heart disease in your parents, brothers, and sisters Any earlier calcium score or heart CT report Questions about the calcium score Is a calcium score covered by insurance? Coverage for this scan varies by plan. Our team checks your benefits and tells you what to expect before it is scheduled.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. My score is zero. Am I in the clear? A score of zero is reassuring, but it is not a guarantee. It does not show soft plaque that has not calcified. Your cardiologist reads it together with your other risk factors. My score is high. Do I need a stent? Not on that basis alone. A high score means plaque is present; it does not show whether an artery is narrowed enough to need a procedure. It usually means treating risk factors more firmly, and sometimes further testing. Where can I read more about cholesterol? See our page on high cholesterol. Know your risk before symptoms start. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit.

Sudden swelling in one leg is the sign to take seriously. Call 911 if You have leg swelling and shortness of breath or chest pain. A clot may have traveled to the lungs.Sudden swelling in one leg with pain, warmth, or redness — without breathing trouble — still needs urgent evaluation the same day. Call us at (305) 249-5666 or go to an emergency room. Do not wait for a routine appointment. What it can feel like One leg noticeably larger than the other Pain or tenderness, often in the calf Warmth or redness over the sore area Swelling that came on over hours or a few days, not months How a clot is found The test is an ultrasound of the leg veins. At our office, bedside ultrasound identifies reflux (leaky valves) in specific veins and rules out a blood clot. It is painless and uses no radiation. How it is treated In general, a DVT is treated with blood-thinning medicine (anticoagulants) that keeps the clot from growing while the body clears it. Some patients need more than that. What is right for you depends on where the clot is, your other conditions, and your other medicines.Your plan is decided with the doctor at your visit. Swelling that lingers long after a clot is often a vein-valve problem; see leaky leg veins and our vein evaluation and treatment page.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about leg clots When is leg swelling an emergency? Sudden swelling in one leg with pain, warmth, or redness can indicate a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and needs urgent evaluation. Swelling with shortness of breath or chest pain should be treated as an emergency — call 911. Both of my legs have been swollen for months. Is that a clot? Swelling in both legs that builds up slowly is more often a vein-valve, heart, or kidney problem than a clot. It still deserves an evaluation. See our page on swollen legs or ankles. Had a clot before, or worried about your leg veins? For new, sudden swelling in one leg, call (305) 249-5666 now or go to an emergency room. For follow-up after a clot or long-standing swelling, leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. --- ## Does amavita accept Aetna?

Algunas causas son benignas, como un tirón muscular o el reflujo. Otras, como un ataque al corazón (infarto), son emergencias médicas. Llame al 911 ahora si el dolor de pecho viene con Falta de aire Sudor, náuseas o mareo Dolor que se extiende al brazo, el cuello o la mandíbula Presión u opresión que dura más de unos minutos, o que va y viene Llame al 911 de inmediato — no maneje usted mismo al hospital. Este sitio y la línea de nuestro consultorio no son para emergencias. Cómo se puede sentir el dolor de pecho El dolor de pecho que viene del corazón (angina) muchas veces se describe como presión, opresión o un peso sobre el pecho. Puede extenderse al brazo izquierdo, el cuello, la mandíbula o la parte alta de la espalda. Por lo general aparece con la actividad o el estrés y se alivia con el descanso.El dolor de pecho que no viene del corazón — por reflujo ácido, por los músculos de la pared del pecho o por ansiedad — muchas veces es punzante, cambia con la posición o se repite al presionar el pecho. Pero los síntomas se parecen, y diagnosticarse uno mismo no es confiable.Las mujeres, los adultos mayores y las personas con diabetes pueden tener síntomas atípicos: cansancio fuera de lo normal, dolor en la espalda o en la parte alta del abdomen, o falta de aire con la actividad normal. Por qué ocurre Causas en el corazón y los vasos sanguíneos Enfermedad coronaria (bloqueo parcial), ataque al corazón (bloqueo completo), pericarditis (inflamación alrededor del corazón) y arritmia (problemas del ritmo). La disección aórtica es una emergencia poco frecuente pero que pone en riesgo la vida. https://amavita.health/conditions/coronary-artery-disease Sobre las arterias del corazón tapadas (en inglés) Causas fuera del corazón Enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE), costocondritis (inflamación del cartílago de las costillas), tirón muscular, ataques de pánico y condiciones del pulmón como la neumonía o la embolia pulmonar. Cómo revisa un cardiólogo el dolor de pecho El objetivo es descartar primero las causas que ponen en riesgo la vida y luego identificar lo que se puede tratar. Historia y examen físico Una conversación detallada sobre cuándo aparece el dolor, cómo se siente y qué lo alivia. Electrocardiograma (EKG) y análisis de sangre Un registro rápido de la actividad eléctrica del corazón, que se hace el mismo día cuando está clínicamente indicado. Sobre el electrocardiograma (en inglés) https://amavita.health/services/electrocardiogram Más pruebas, si los resultados lo piden Según los resultados, su cardiólogo puede ordenar un ecocardiograma, una prueba de esfuerzo, una angiografía coronaria por tomografía (CT) o un puntaje de calcio coronario. Cateterismo cardíaco cuando se necesita una respuesta definitiva Se guía un tubo delgado hasta las arterias del corazón para ver los bloqueos directamente. Sobre el cateterismo cardíaco (en inglés) https://amavita.health/services/cardiac-catheterization Las pruebas, explicadas Electrocardiograma (en inglés) · Ecocardiograma · Prueba de esfuerzo · Puntaje de calcio coronario (en inglés) · Cateterismo cardíaco (en inglés)No va a necesitar todas. La idea es ordenar solo lo que responde la pregunta.Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Vea los planes que aceptamos. Preguntas sobre el dolor de pecho ¿Cuándo debo programar una visita de cardiología por dolor de pecho? Programe una visita de cardiología en cuestión de días si tiene una molestia nueva en el pecho al hacer esfuerzo, antecedentes familiares de enfermedad del corazón a edad temprana o factores de riesgo conocidos como presión arterial alta, colesterol alto o diabetes. Si el dolor de pecho viene con falta de aire, sudor, náuseas, mareo o dolor que se extiende al brazo, el cuello o la mandíbula, llame al 911. ¿Todo dolor de pecho viene del corazón? No. No todo dolor de pecho es cardíaco, pero un dolor nuevo o fuerte siempre merece una evaluación pronta. La presión, la opresión o la pesadez — sobre todo con el esfuerzo — preocupan más que las punzadas agudas y breves. ¿Qué tan pronto me pueden atender? La mayoría de los pacientes nuevos son atendidos en 5–7 días hábiles; puede haber citas más tempranas disponibles según el horario del médico y el motivo de su visita. Las preocupaciones urgentes tienen prioridad. Llame al (305) 249-5666. Una molestia en el pecho que vuelve una y otra vez merece una respuesta.

Síntomas comunes de la artrosis de rodilla Dolor de rodilla persistente, sordo o agudo, sobre todo al caminar, subir escaleras o estar de pie Rigidez por la mañana que mejora con el movimiento Hinchazón, calor o sensibilidad alrededor de la articulación Menor rango de movimiento y una sensación de “roce” Dolor que interrumpe el sueño o limita las actividades diarias Por qué duele A medida que la articulación se inflama, crecen vasos sanguíneos nuevos y anormales en el revestimiento de la rodilla — y estos vasos llevan las células inflamatorias y las señales de dolor que causan gran parte de la molestia diaria que sienten los pacientes.Cuando este dolor por inflamación continúa a pesar del tratamiento conservador, muchas veces es el flujo de sangre anormal — no el cartílago en sí — lo que alimenta los síntomas. El tratamiento suele ir por pasos La mayoría de los pacientes con artrosis de rodilla empieza con tratamientos conservadores, sin cirugía. Estilo de vida y terapia física Control del peso, ejercicio de bajo impacto y terapia física dirigida para fortalecer los músculos alrededor de la rodilla y mejorar la mecánica de la articulación. Medicamentos Acetaminofén, antiinflamatorios (AINE) y analgésicos en crema o gel para reducir el dolor y la inflamación cuando es apropiado. Inyecciones Inyecciones de corticosteroides, ácido hialurónico o PRP que pueden dar alivio temporal, pero cuyo efecto muchas veces se pierde en semanas o meses. Embolización de arteria genicular (GAE) Un procedimiento ambulatorio y mínimamente invasivo que actúa sobre los vasos sanguíneos inflamados que causan el dolor de rodilla — sin anestesia general, sin incisión quirúrgica y sin reemplazo de la articulación. Lea la página completa sobre la GAE https://amavita.health/es/embolizacion-de-arteria-genicular/ Dónde entramos nosotros Somos una consulta de corazón y vascular, así que no reemplazamos rodillas ni ponemos inyecciones en las articulaciones. Lo que ofrecemos es la embolización de arteria genicular (GAE): un tratamiento que se hace a través de los vasos sanguíneos para pacientes que no han tenido suficiente alivio con los pasos anteriores pero quieren retrasar o evitar la cirugía de reemplazo total de rodilla.En la consulta revisamos las imágenes de su rodilla, los tratamientos previos y sus metas para confirmar si la GAE es una opción razonable para usted. No es adecuada para todos los pacientes.Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Vea los planes que aceptamos. Preguntas sobre la artrosis de rodilla y la GAE ¿Para quién es la GAE? La GAE es apropiada para pacientes con artrosis de rodilla moderada a grave cuyo dolor no ha respondido a tratamientos conservadores como terapia física, antiinflamatorios (AINE) o inyecciones de esteroides — y que quieren retrasar o evitar el reemplazo total de rodilla. También es una opción para pacientes que no son candidatos a cirugía por su edad, su peso u otras condiciones médicas. ¿El seguro cubre la GAE en Miami? La cobertura depende de su plan de seguro y de su situación clínica específica. Nuestro equipo verificará los beneficios y hablará de los costos durante su consulta, antes de programar el procedimiento. ¿Qué debo traer? Traiga las radiografías o los informes de resonancia magnética (MRI) de la rodilla que tenga, una lista de los tratamientos que ya ha probado y su lista de medicamentos. ¿Cansado del dolor crónico de rodilla? Una consulta corta confirma si la embolización de arteria genicular es adecuada para su rodilla — y responde sus preguntas sobre la recuperación y los resultados. Llame al (305) 249-5666 o deje su número y un coordinador de atención le devolverá la llamada dentro de un día hábil. --- ## Dolor en las Piernas al Caminar (Claudicación) URL: https://amavita.health/es/condiciones/dolor-en-las-piernas-al-caminar/ Piernas y circulación Dolor en las piernas al caminar (claudicación) Los calambres, dolor o fatiga predecibles en pantorrillas, muslos o glúteos tras caminar cierta distancia — que ceden a los pocos minutos de descanso — se llaman claudicación intermitente. Es el síntoma clásico de la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP, o PAD por sus siglas en inglés): arterias de las piernas estrechadas que no pueden suministrar suficiente sangre a los músculos en movimiento. Lo primero que debe saber La claudicación es un síntoma de enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) — arterias de las piernas estrechadas. La EAP es un marcador de riesgo cardiovascular global, no solo un problema de las piernas. La angioplastia, la aterectomía y los stents pueden restaurar el flujo y pueden permitirle caminar más con menos dolor. Síntomas comunes Lo que los pacientes suelen notar: Calambres en la pantorrilla, muslo o glúteo tras caminar una distancia predecible Dolor que cede en pocos minutos al detenerse Frialdad o entumecimiento en un pie comparado con el otro Menor crecimiento del vello, piel brillante o rasguños que sanan lento en la parte baja de la pierna Dolor en el pie en reposo, especialmente de noche (EAP avanzada — consulte a un médico pronto) Un dolor repentino y fuerte en la pierna, con la pierna fría y pálida, es una emergencia. Llame al 911 o vaya a la sala de emergencias. Por qué importa La EAP afecta aproximadamente a 1 de cada 20 adultos mayores de 50 años y es significativamente más común en personas con diabetes, enfermedad renal o antecedentes de tabaquismo. Sin tratar limita la movilidad y, en casos avanzados, amenaza la extremidad.La EAP también es una fuerte señal de enfermedad coronaria (estrechamiento de las arterias que alimentan el corazón). Evaluarla es una oportunidad de detectar y manejar el riesgo cardíaco al mismo tiempo.Lea más sobre la causa en nuestra página sobre la enfermedad arterial periférica. Cómo lo tratamos Primero, el chequeo Índice tobillo-brazo (ITB) y ultrasonido vascular Una prueba simple y no invasiva confirma si el estrechamiento arterial está detrás de sus síntomas. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/chequeo-de-circulacion-en-las-piernas/ Sobre el chequeo de circulación en las piernas Atención de primera línea Ejercicio estructurado, terapia médica y optimización de factores de riesgo Atención de primera línea que mejora la distancia de caminata y reduce el riesgo cardiovascular general. Cuando hace falta Angioplastia, aterectomía y stents Procedimientos con catéter que reabren arterias estrechadas cuando los síntomas limitan la vida diaria o no mejoran con terapia médica. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/angioplastia-y-stent-en-las-piernas/ Sobre la angioplastia y el stent en las piernas Seguro Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Vea los planes que aceptamos.Vea todo lo que hacemos por las arterias y venas de las piernas en nuestra página de cuidado vascular. Preguntas frecuentes ¿Es peligrosa la claudicación? La claudicación en sí no es peligrosa de inmediato, pero indica enfermedad arterial periférica subyacente — lo que aumenta el riesgo de ataque al corazón (infarto) y derrame cerebral y puede progresar a síntomas más graves en las piernas si no se trata. ¿Necesito un stent? No siempre. Muchos pacientes mejoran significativamente con un programa de ejercicio estructurado, medicación y control de factores de riesgo. Los procedimientos se reservan para síntomas que limitan la vida diaria o continúan a pesar de la terapia médica. ¿Qué implica la evaluación? Un examen físico, un índice tobillo-brazo (ITB) y a menudo un ultrasonido dúplex. Las imágenes avanzadas se añaden solo cuando planificamos una intervención. Averigüe por qué le duelen las piernas al caminar. Llame al (305) 249-5666 o deje su número y un coordinador de atención le devolverá la llamada dentro de un día hábil.

It is painless and uses no radiation. What it shows Pumping strength How well the heart muscle squeezes and relaxes. Important when checking for heart failure. https://amavita.health/conditions/heart-failure About heart failure The valves Whether the heart valves open fully and close tightly. https://amavita.health/conditions/heart-valve-disease About heart valve problems Size and structure The size of the heart’s chambers and the thickness of its walls, which long-standing high blood pressure can change. https://amavita.health/conditions/high-blood-pressure About high blood pressure Who it is for A first cardiology visit often includes an echocardiogram. Your cardiologist may recommend one for: Shortness of breath at rest or with light activity Swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs A heart murmur Chest pain, palpitations, or fainting Follow-up of a known heart condition What happens This describes a standard echocardiogram through the chest wall. You lie on an exam table Usually on your left side, with your chest uncovered. A gown is provided. Gel and a handheld probe The sonographer moves the probe over your chest. You may feel light pressure and hear a whooshing sound — that is blood moving through the heart. Your cardiologist reviews the pictures The results are explained to you in plain language, along with what they mean for your plan. Where it is done, and what to bring Our MedSquare Health office in Kendall provides non-invasive cardiac testing. When we schedule your echocardiogram, our team confirms the place and time.Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, your medication list, and any earlier echocardiogram reports (on disc if possible). No fasting is needed for a standard echocardiogram.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about the echocardiogram Does it hurt? No. There are no needles in a standard echocardiogram. The gel can feel cool and the probe is pressed lightly against the chest. Is it the same as an EKG? No. An EKG records the heart’s electrical signals. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound picture of the heart muscle and valves. They answer different questions and are often done together. I had an echo somewhere else. Do I need another? Not necessarily. Bring the report and the images if you can. Dr. Martinez-Clark reviews prior imaging before deciding whether anything needs to be repeated. See how your heart is working. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Echocardiogram in Kendall URL: https://amavita.health/locations/medsquare/echocardiogram-kendall/ Kendall Office Echocardiogram in Kendall: a heart ultrasound An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of your heart.

It is usually the first heart test, and at a consultation it is done the same day when clinically indicated. What it shows An EKG shows how fast the heart is beating, whether the rhythm is steady or irregular, and patterns that can point to a past heart attack or strain on the heart muscle. It is one piece of the picture, read alongside your symptoms and exam.An EKG only records a short stretch of time. If your symptoms come and go, your cardiologist may recommend rhythm monitoring: a recorder you wear for a longer period so that an irregular beat can be caught when it happens. Who it is for Palpitations, skipped beats, or a racing heartbeat Chest pain, tightness, or pressure Fainting, near-fainting, or unexplained dizziness An abnormal EKG found somewhere else An irregular rhythm flagged by a smartwatch or other wearable What happens Small sticky patches Patches called electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. Men may need a small area of chest hair shaved so they stick. Lie still for a few minutes The machine records the signals. Nothing is sent into your body. It does not hurt. Results at the visit Your cardiologist reads the tracing and explains it in plain language, together with the rest of your evaluation. Where it is done, and what to bring The EKG is part of the cardiology consultation at our offices. If rhythm monitoring is recommended, our team explains which kind, how long you wear it, and how to return it.Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications and dosages, and any earlier EKGs or wearable readings you have.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about the EKG My EKG was normal but I still have palpitations. What next? A normal EKG does not rule out a rhythm problem that comes and goes. Longer rhythm monitoring may be recommended. See our page on atrial fibrillation. Do I need to prepare? No fasting is needed. Avoid oily lotion on your chest that day so the patches stick, and wear a top that is easy to open. Is a smartwatch reading enough? A wearable can raise a flag. See a cardiologist promptly if a wearable or clinician has detected an irregular rhythm; a medical EKG and an exam confirm what is going on. A skipped or racing heartbeat is worth checking.

Tratamiento ambulatorio mínimamente invasivo para el dolor crónico de rodilla por osteoartritis Al reducir de forma selectiva el flujo de sangre anormal hacia el revestimiento inflamado de la rodilla, la GAE busca disminuir el dolor — a menudo en semanas — sin cirugía, sin anestesia general y sin reemplazo de la articulación. Alternativa no quirúrgica al reemplazo de rodilla para el dolor crónico de rodilla Procedimiento ambulatorio con sedación consciente, típicamente de 45 a 90 minutos Los pacientes por lo general retoman su actividad normal en 24–48 horas Lo realiza el Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, MD, FACC, en los consultorios de amavita en Miami Entender el dolor de la osteoartritis de rodilla La osteoartritis de rodilla (también llamada artrosis) es una enfermedad progresiva “de desgaste” en la que el cartílago que protege la articulación se va dañando. Esto causa inflamación, rigidez y dolor crónico de rodilla. Cuando la articulación se inflama, crecen vasos sanguíneos nuevos y anormales en el revestimiento de la rodilla (la membrana sinovial) — y esos vasos llevan las células de inflamación y las señales de dolor que causan gran parte de la molestia diaria.Síntomas comunes de la osteoartritis de rodillaDolor persistente, sordo o agudo, en la rodilla, sobre todo al caminar, subir escaleras o estar de pieRigidez por la mañana que mejora con el movimientoHinchazón, calor o sensibilidad alrededor de la articulaciónMenos movimiento y una sensación de “roce” en la rodillaDolor que interrumpe el sueño o limita las actividades diariasCuando este dolor causado por la inflamación continúa a pesar del tratamiento conservador, a menudo es el riego de sangre anormal — no el cartílago en sí — lo que alimenta los síntomas. Eso es exactamente sobre lo que la embolización de arteria genicular está diseñada para actuar.Más sobre la condición: dolor de rodilla por artrosis. Tratamiento sin cirugía para el dolor crónico de rodilla La mayoría de los pacientes con osteoartritis de rodilla empieza con tratamientos conservadores, sin cirugía. La GAE entra en esta gama como una opción avanzada, guiada por imágenes, para pacientes que no han tenido suficiente alivio con los pasos anteriores pero quieren retrasar o evitar la cirugía de reemplazo total de rodilla. Estilo de vida y fisioterapia Control del peso, ejercicio de bajo impacto y fisioterapia dirigida para fortalecer los músculos alrededor de la rodilla y mejorar cómo se mueve la articulación. Medicamentos Acetaminofén, antiinflamatorios (AINE) y analgésicos en crema o gel para reducir el dolor y la inflamación cuando es apropiado. Inyecciones Inyecciones de corticosteroides, ácido hialurónico o PRP que pueden dar un alivio temporal, pero cuyo efecto a menudo se pasa en semanas o meses. Embolización de arteria genicular (GAE) Un procedimiento ambulatorio mínimamente invasivo que actúa sobre los vasos sanguíneos inflamados que causan el dolor de rodilla — sin anestesia general, sin corte quirúrgico y sin reemplazo de la articulación. ¿Quién es candidato para la GAE? La GAE es apropiada para pacientes con osteoartritis de rodilla moderada a grave cuyo dolor no ha respondido a tratamientos conservadores como la fisioterapia, los antiinflamatorios o las inyecciones de esteroides — y que quieren retrasar o evitar el reemplazo total de rodilla. También es una opción para pacientes que no son candidatos a cirugía.Una consulta confirma si la GAE es una opción razonable para usted. Revisamos sus estudios de la rodilla, tratamientos previos y objetivos. Cómo funciona el procedimiento GAE La GAE se realiza con sedación ligera a través de un catéter pequeño (un tubo fino) que se introduce por la muñeca o la ingle. Guiándose con imágenes, el Dr. Martinez-Clark lleva el catéter hasta las arterias geniculares, que riegan el tejido inflamado de la rodilla, y coloca microesferas diminutas que reducen el flujo de sangre anormal. El procedimiento típicamente dura de 45 a 90 minutos, y la mayoría de los pacientes sale caminando el mismo día. Recuperación y resultados esperados La mayoría de los pacientes retoma su actividad normal en 24–48 horas. El alivio del dolor típicamente empieza en pocas semanas y sigue mejorando durante varios meses. Estudios clínicos han mostrado una reducción sostenida del dolor 1 y 2 años después del procedimiento en la mayoría de los pacientes.Los resultados varían de una persona a otra, y la GAE no es adecuada para todos los pacientes. Qué esperar en su primera visita Consulta y revisión de imágenes Revisamos sus estudios, tratamientos previos y objetivos para confirmar si GAE es una opción razonable. Preparación previa al procedimiento Preparación sencilla en casa la noche anterior — sin anestesia general ni hospitalización. Día del procedimiento GAE Con sedación ligera, típicamente de 45 a 90 minutos por una punción en muñeca o ingle. Alta el mismo día y recuperación breve La mayoría se va a casa en pocas horas y retoma actividad normal en 24–48 horas. Seguimiento del alivio del dolor Revisamos su evolución en las semanas y meses siguientes — el alivio suele comenzar en 1–4 semanas y sigue mejorando. GAE para el dolor de rodilla — lo que más preguntan los pacientes ¿Qué es la embolización de la arteria genicular (GAE)? La embolización de arteria genicular (GAE) es un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo, guiado por imágenes, que trata el dolor crónico de rodilla causado por la osteoartritis. Un cardiólogo intervencionista lleva un catéter fino hasta las pequeñas arterias geniculares, que riegan el revestimiento inflamado de la rodilla, e inyecta microesferas diminutas para reducir el flujo de sangre anormal que causa el dolor. ¿Para quién es la GAE? La GAE es apropiada para pacientes con osteoartritis de rodilla moderada a grave cuyo dolor no ha respondido a tratamientos conservadores como la fisioterapia, los antiinflamatorios o las inyecciones de esteroides — y que quieren retrasar o evitar el reemplazo total de rodilla. También es una opción para pacientes que no son candidatos a cirugía por su edad, su peso u otras condiciones médicas. ¿Cómo funciona el procedimiento GAE? La GAE se realiza con sedación ligera a través de un catéter pequeño que se introduce por la muñeca o la ingle. Guiándose con imágenes, el Dr. Martinez-Clark lleva el catéter hasta las arterias geniculares, que riegan el tejido inflamado de la rodilla, y coloca microesferas diminutas que reducen el flujo de sangre anormal. El procedimiento típicamente dura de 45 a 90 minutos, y la mayoría de los pacientes sale caminando el mismo día. ¿Cuánto dura la GAE y es dolorosa? El procedimiento en sí suele durar de 45 a 90 minutos. Los pacientes reciben sedación ligera y anestesia local en el sitio donde entra el catéter, por lo que el procedimiento generalmente se tolera bien y no es doloroso. La mayoría de los pacientes describe solo una molestia leve después. ¿Cómo es la recuperación de la GAE? La mayoría de los pacientes retoma su actividad normal en 24–48 horas. No hay cortes grandes, ni anestesia general, ni estadía en el hospital. El alivio del dolor típicamente empieza en pocas semanas y sigue mejorando durante varios meses. ¿Qué tan efectiva es la GAE para el dolor de la osteoartritis de rodilla? Estudios clínicos publicados han mostrado una reducción importante y sostenida del dolor en la mayoría de los pacientes tratados, en seguimientos de 1 y 2 años, y la mayoría de los pacientes reportó mejor función y menos dependencia de medicamentos para el dolor. ¿Cuáles son los riesgos de la GAE? La GAE es generalmente muy segura. Los efectos secundarios más comunes son un cambio temporal de color en la piel sobre la rodilla, dolor leve después del procedimiento y pequeños moretones en el sitio donde entra el catéter. Las complicaciones graves son poco frecuentes. El Dr. Martinez-Clark revisará su perfil de riesgo individual durante la consulta. ¿El seguro cubre la GAE en Miami? La cobertura depende de su plan de seguro y de su situación clínica específica. Nuestro equipo verificará sus beneficios y hablará de los costos durante su consulta, antes de programar el procedimiento. Vea los planes que aceptamos. ¿Dónde se realiza la GAE en Miami? La GAE se realiza en nuestra ubicación de Kendall (MedSquare Health) en Miami-Dade. También hay consultas disponibles en nuestro consultorio de North Miami Beach. ¿Cansado del dolor crónico de rodilla? Una consulta breve confirma si la GAE es adecuada para su rodilla — y responde sus preguntas sobre recuperación y resultados.

Sin tratamiento, puede llevar a claudicación (dolor al caminar), heridas que no sanan y, en casos graves, la pérdida de la extremidad. Señales de alerta de la EAP Si alguna de estas le suena conocida, hablar con un cardiólogo certificado es un buen siguiente paso. Dolor o calambres en las piernas al caminar que se alivian con el descanso (claudicación) Entumecimiento, debilidad o pesadez en las piernas Frialdad en la parte baja de la pierna o en el pie, sobre todo comparado con el otro lado Llagas o heridas en los dedos, los pies o las piernas que sanan despacio o no sanan Un cambio de color en las piernas o los pies (pálido, azulado) Piel brillante, pérdida de vello o uñas de los pies que crecen más lento Pulso débil o ausente en las piernas o los pies Disfunción eréctil (puede ser una señal vascular temprana) Un dolor repentino y fuerte en la pierna, con la extremidad fría y pálida, es una emergencia — vaya a la sala de emergencias de inmediato o llame al 911. Por qué ocurre La EAP es la acumulación de placa (depósitos de grasa) en las arterias que llevan sangre a las piernas. El menor flujo deja a los músculos sin suficiente oxígeno durante la actividad, y eso causa calambres o fatiga que se quitan con el descanso. La EAP avanzada puede causar dolor en reposo, heridas que no sanan o, en casos graves, pérdida de tejido.El tabaquismo, la diabetes, la presión arterial alta y el colesterol alto son las causas principales. Muchos pacientes no tienen ningún síntoma, o piensan que es cosa de la edad y nunca lo mencionan — hasta que aparece una herida.La EAP no es solo un problema de las piernas. Es el mismo proceso de enfermedad que causa los ataques al corazón, en otro lugar del cuerpo. Los pacientes con EAP tienen un riesgo significativamente mayor de ataque al corazón (infarto) y derrame cerebral. Identificar y tratar la EAP es parte de proteger el corazón. Cómo revisamos si hay EAP Las primeras pruebas son rápidas, no duelen y se hacen en el consultorio. Revisión de síntomas y examen dirigido Repasamos sus síntomas, examinamos los pulsos, la piel y la hinchazón, y revisamos cualquier estudio de imágenes previo que traiga. Índice tobillo-brazo (ITB) Una comparación sencilla de la presión arterial en el tobillo y en el brazo. Es la primera prueba para la EAP. Ultrasonido de las arterias de las piernas Las imágenes por ultrasonido muestran dónde están los estrechamientos y qué tan importantes son. Angiografía, solo cuando se planifica un procedimiento Cuando se está planificando una intervención, la angiografía con catéter (radiografías de las arterias usando un medio de contraste) ofrece la imagen de mayor resolución. Lea en qué consiste la primera visita en nuestra página del chequeo de circulación en las piernas. Opciones de tratamiento No toda arteria estrechada necesita un procedimiento. La atención empieza por lo básico y avanza solo si usted lo necesita. La base Control de factores de riesgo y un programa de caminata Dejar el tabaco, programas estructurados de caminata, terapia con estatinas, medicamento antiplaquetario y control de la presión arterial y la diabetes. Cuando los síntomas limitan su vida Angioplastia, aterectomía y stents Procedimientos con catéter que reabren las arterias estrechadas de las piernas a través de una pequeña punción en la ingle o la muñeca, por lo general de forma ambulatoria. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/angioplastia-y-stent-en-las-piernas/ Sobre la angioplastia y el stent en las piernas Síntomas relacionados La EAP es la causa habitual del dolor en las piernas al caminar y de muchas heridas en la pierna o el pie que no sanan.

Vea los planes que aceptamos. Preguntas sobre la EAP ¿Qué es la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) y cómo se trata? La EAP es una condición de la circulación en la que las arterias estrechadas reducen el flujo de sangre a las extremidades — con más frecuencia las piernas. Sin tratamiento, puede llevar a claudicación (dolor al caminar), heridas que no sanan y, en casos graves, la pérdida de la extremidad. Tratamos la EAP con angioplastia, aterectomía y stents para restaurar un flujo de sangre saludable. ¿Cuáles son las señales de alerta de la EAP? Las señales de alerta comunes incluyen calambres en las piernas al caminar, frialdad o entumecimiento en un pie, llagas en los pies o los dedos que sanan despacio y cambios en el color de la piel de las piernas. Si nota estos síntomas, programe una evaluación. ¿Qué es el tratamiento endovascular? Los procedimientos endovasculares usan pequeños puntos de acceso con catéter en lugar de cirugía abierta. La mayoría de los pacientes regresa a casa el mismo día, vuelve a caminar pronto y evita la larga recuperación y las cicatrices de la cirugía vascular tradicional. ¿Voy a necesitar un procedimiento? No siempre. Muchos pacientes mejoran con un programa de ejercicio estructurado, medicación y control de factores de riesgo. Los procedimientos se reservan para síntomas que limitan la vida diaria o continúan a pesar de la terapia médica. Una prueba corta puede mostrar qué tan bien llega la sangre a sus pies.

Minimally invasive outpatient treatment for chronic knee osteoarthritis pain By selectively reducing abnormal blood flow to the inflamed lining of the knee, GAE is aimed at decreasing pain — often within weeks — without surgery, general anesthesia, or joint replacement. Non-surgical alternative to knee replacement for chronic knee pain Outpatient procedure performed under conscious sedation, typically 45 to 90 minutes Patients usually resume normal activities within 24–48 hours Performed by Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, MD, FACC at the amavita Miami offices Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis Pain Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive “wear-and-tear” disease in which the protective cartilage of the knee joint breaks down, causing inflammation, stiffness, and chronic knee pain. As the joint becomes inflamed, abnormal new blood vessels (neovascularity) grow into the synovial lining — and these vessels carry the inflammatory cells and pain signals that drive much of the daily discomfort patients experience.Common symptoms of knee osteoarthritisPersistent aching or sharp knee pain, especially with walking, stairs, or standingMorning stiffness that improves with movementSwelling, warmth, or tenderness around the jointReduced range of motion and a “grinding” sensationPain that disrupts sleep or limits daily activitiesWhen this inflammation-driven pain persists despite conservative care, it is often the abnormal blood supply — not the cartilage itself — that is fueling the symptoms. That is exactly what Genicular Artery Embolization is designed to target.More on the condition: knee arthritis pain. Non-Surgical Treatment for Chronic Knee Pain Most patients with knee osteoarthritis start with conservative, non-surgical treatments. GAE fits into this spectrum as an advanced, image-guided option for patients who have not gotten enough relief from earlier steps but want to delay or avoid total knee replacement surgery. Lifestyle & physical therapy Weight management, low-impact exercise, and targeted physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve joint mechanics. Medications Acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and topical analgesics to reduce pain and inflammation when appropriate. Injections Corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP injections that can provide temporary relief but often wear off over weeks to months. Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) A minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that targets the inflamed blood vessels driving knee pain — no general anesthesia, no surgical incision, and no joint replacement. Who is a candidate for GAE? GAE is appropriate for patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis whose pain has not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, NSAIDs, or steroid injections — and who want to delay or avoid total knee replacement. It is also an option for patients who are not surgical candidates.A consultation confirms whether GAE is a reasonable option for you. We review your knee imaging, prior treatments, and goals. How the GAE procedure works GAE is performed under light sedation through a small catheter inserted in the wrist or groin. Using image guidance, Dr. Martinez-Clark navigates the catheter to the genicular arteries that supply the inflamed knee tissue and delivers tiny microspheres that reduce abnormal blood flow. The procedure typically takes 45 to 90 minutes, and most patients walk out the same day. Recovery and expected results Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours. Pain relief typically begins within a few weeks and continues to improve over several months. Clinical studies have shown sustained pain reduction at 1 and 2 years post-procedure for the majority of patients.Results differ from person to person, and GAE is not right for every patient. What to Expect at Your First Visit Consultation & imaging review We review your knee imaging, prior treatments, and goals to confirm whether GAE is a reasonable option for you. Pre-procedure preparation Simple prep at home the night before — no general anesthesia, no hospital admission. GAE procedure day Under light sedation, the procedure typically takes 45 to 90 minutes through a wrist or groin pinhole. Same-day discharge & short recovery Most patients go home within a few hours and resume normal activity within 24–48 hours. Follow-up on pain relief We check in during the weeks and months after — pain relief often begins in 1–4 weeks and continues to improve. GAE for knee pain — what patients ask most What is genicular artery embolization (GAE)? Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that treats chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. An interventional cardiologist threads a thin catheter to the small genicular arteries that supply the inflamed lining of the knee and injects tiny microspheres to reduce the abnormal blood flow driving the pain. Who is GAE for? GAE is appropriate for patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis whose pain has not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, NSAIDs, or steroid injections — and who want to delay or avoid total knee replacement. It is also an option for patients who are not surgical candidates due to age, weight, or other medical conditions. How does the GAE procedure work? GAE is performed under light sedation through a small catheter inserted in the wrist or groin. Using image guidance, Dr. Martinez-Clark navigates the catheter to the genicular arteries that supply the inflamed knee tissue and delivers tiny microspheres that reduce abnormal blood flow. The procedure typically takes 45 to 90 minutes, and most patients walk out the same day. How long does GAE take and is it painful? The procedure itself usually takes 45 to 90 minutes. Patients receive light sedation and local anesthesia at the catheter insertion site, so the procedure is generally well tolerated and not painful. Most patients describe only mild soreness afterward. What is the recovery from GAE like? Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours. There are no large incisions, no general anesthesia, and no hospital stay. Pain relief typically begins within a few weeks and continues to improve over several months. How effective is GAE for knee osteoarthritis pain? Published clinical studies have shown meaningful and sustained pain reduction in the majority of treated patients at 1- and 2-year follow-up, with most patients reporting improved function and reduced reliance on pain medication. What are the risks of GAE? GAE is generally very safe. The most common side effects are temporary skin discoloration over the knee, mild post-procedure pain, and small bruising at the catheter insertion site. Serious complications are rare. Dr. Martinez-Clark will review your individual risk profile during consultation. Does insurance cover GAE in Miami? Coverage depends on your insurance plan and specific clinical situation. Our team will verify benefits and discuss costs during your consultation before scheduling the procedure. See the plans we accept. Where is GAE performed in Miami? GAE is performed at our Kendall (MedSquare Health) location in Miami-Dade. Consultations are also available at our North Miami Beach office. Tired of chronic knee pain? A short consultation confirms whether Genicular Artery Embolization is a fit for your specific knee — and answers your questions about recovery and results.

AneurysmAn abnormal bulge or weakening in the wall of an artery. If untreated, an aneurysm may continue to enlarge and rupture, which can be life-threatening. Treatment may be open surgical or endovascular.AngiographyAn imaging test in which contrast dye is injected into blood vessels and X-rays are taken to visualize blood flow and identify blockages in the heart or peripheral arteries.AngioplastyA minimally invasive procedure that uses a small balloon delivered through a catheter to open a narrowed or blocked artery and restore blood flow.AtherectomyA catheter-based procedure that removes plaque from inside an artery — often used in peripheral artery disease when calcified or hard plaque limits angioplasty alone.Cardiac catheterizationA diagnostic and interventional procedure in which a thin catheter is guided into the heart's arteries through the wrist or groin to evaluate and treat coronary artery disease.Carotid artery diseaseNarrowing of the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Significant narrowing increases stroke risk and may be treated with stenting or surgery.Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)A condition in which leg veins fail to return blood efficiently to the heart, causing swelling, aching, varicose veins, skin discoloration, and venous ulcers.Endovascular treatmentMinimally invasive treatment performed from inside a blood vessel, using catheters, balloons, stents, or coils delivered through a small puncture rather than open surgery.Genicular artery embolization (GAE)A minimally invasive outpatient procedure that reduces abnormal blood flow to the inflamed lining of an osteoarthritic knee, decreasing chronic knee pain without surgery.Heart failureA chronic condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump blood as efficiently as the body needs. It may be caused by coronary artery disease, prior heart attack, valve disease, or other conditions.Interventional cardiologyThe cardiology subspecialty focused on catheter-based diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular disease, including coronary stenting, structural heart, and peripheral vascular procedures.Longevity medicineA preventive approach that combines advanced cardiovascular screening, biomarker analysis, and personalized lifestyle interventions to extend healthspan and reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.Minimally invasiveProcedures performed through small incisions or catheter access, typically with shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and lower complication rates than traditional open surgery.Peripheral artery disease (PAD)A circulatory disease in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs — most commonly the legs — causing pain when walking, non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, limb loss.StentingPlacement of a small mesh tube inside a narrowed or blocked artery to keep it open after angioplasty and restore healthy blood flow.Structural heart diseaseDisorders of the heart's valves, walls, or chambers. Many structural conditions can now be treated with catheter-based procedures rather than open-heart surgery.TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement)A catheter-based procedure to replace a diseased aortic valve without open-heart surgery. The first U.S. TAVR was performed by Dr. William O'Neill in 2005.Varicose veinsEnlarged, twisted veins — most often in the legs — caused by faulty venous valves and venous insufficiency. Modern treatments include thermal and non-thermal vein closure.Venous insufficiencyA condition in which leg veins do not adequately return blood to the heart, leading to varicose veins, swelling, and chronic skin changes.

The faster blood flow is restored to the affected part of the heart, the more muscle survives. Knowing the warning signs — including the subtle ones — can save your life or someone you love. Key takeaways Classic symptoms: chest pressure, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, arm or jaw pain. Women often present atypically: fatigue, back or upper abdominal pain, unusual shortness of breath. Call 911 immediately — do not drive yourself to the hospital. Chew a regular-strength aspirin (325 mg) unless you are allergic or your doctor has told you not to. Classic warning signsChest pressure or tightness — often described as 'an elephant sitting on my chest' — lasting more than a few minutes or coming and going. Pain may radiate to the left arm, jaw, neck, or back.Shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, lightheadedness, or a sense of impending doom are common accompaniments. Atypical symptoms — especially in womenWomen, older adults, and people with diabetes may not have crushing chest pain. Instead they may notice unusual fatigue over days, jaw or back pain, indigestion-like discomfort, or shortness of breath with normal activity.Any new, unexplained symptom that comes with exertion and improves with rest deserves attention — even without classic chest pain. What to do in the first minutesCall 911. Emergency medical services can begin treatment on the way to the hospital and route you to a cardiac catheterization lab faster than any private vehicle.If you are not allergic and not otherwise instructed, chew (do not swallow whole) one 325 mg aspirin. Unlock your door for paramedics and sit down. Heart attacks are most often caused by blocked heart arteries. Read about checking and treating them on our coronary artery disease page. When to see a cardiologist Any suspected heart attack is a 911 emergency, not a doctor's visit. After hospitalization or if you have known coronary disease and want to reduce future risk, a cardiologist can review your medications, imaging, and lifestyle strategy to prevent a second event.Educational content only — never a substitute for personalized medical advice. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.

Why It Matters Heart and vascular disease often progresses silently for years before symptoms appear. Early diagnosis of coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, valve disease, or peripheral artery disease can meaningfully lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and limb complications — and, in most cases, allows treatment with medications or minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures instead of open surgery. How We Evaluate Your Heart Every evaluation starts with a careful history and physical exam. Depending on your symptoms and risk factors, your cardiologist may recommend:Electrocardiogram (ECG) and rhythm monitoringEchocardiogram (heart ultrasound)Stress testing (exercise or pharmacologic)Advanced lipid, inflammatory, and metabolic labsCoronary calcium scoring or CT angiographyPeripheral vascular ultrasound where indicatedCardiac catheterization when a definitive answer is needed Comprehensive Cardiovascular Solutions Whatever your heart needs, it’s handled in one place — close to home.

Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. --- ## Heart Failure URL: https://amavita.health/conditions/heart-failure/ Heart A weak heart (heart failure) Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped. It is a syndrome in which the heart cannot pump or fill efficiently, so the body does not get the blood flow it needs and fluid backs up. What it can feel like Shortness of breath at rest or with light activity Swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs Unusual fatigue Palpitations, skipped beats, or a racing heartbeat Call 911 for severe shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting. Why it happens Heart failure is usually the result of another problem that has strained the heart over time. Chronic high blood pressure thickens and stiffens the heart muscle. Blocked heart arteries, valve disease, and rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation can all contribute.Finding and treating the cause is a large part of the care. How we check it A first visit usually includes a detailed history, physical exam, EKG, and often an echocardiogram — a heart ultrasound that shows the heart’s structure and pump function. Blood tests and other studies are added when they will change the plan.Leg swelling is not always the heart. The same visit can sort out whether it is coming from the heart, the kidneys, or the leg veins. Treatment We provide long-term medical management and procedural treatment for heart failure. In general, care combines medication, attention to salt and fluid, treating the underlying cause, and regular follow-up so medicines can be adjusted.Your plan is built at the consultation around your symptoms, your other conditions, and your goals. You leave with a written, plain-language plan.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about heart failure What should I bring to my first visit? Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications and dosages, any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible), and a list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark. What if I need to be admitted to a hospital? Most care is outpatient. For cases requiring hospital admission, Dr. Martinez-Clark has attending privileges at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and Jackson Memorial. Can a family member come with me? Yes, and we encourage it. Visits can be held in English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole. Short of breath or swelling up? Let us look at your heart. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Heart Valve Disease URL: https://amavita.health/conditions/heart-valve-disease/ Heart Heart valve problems Malfunction of one or more heart valves affects blood flow through the heart. Valve problems are part of what doctors call structural heart disease. What a valve problem is The heart has four valves that open and close with every beat to keep blood moving in one direction. A valve can become too tight (stenosis), so the heart has to push harder. Or it can leak (regurgitation), so some blood flows backward.Many people first hear about it when a doctor notices a murmur — an extra sound between heartbeats. What it can feel like Shortness of breath at rest or with light activity Unusual fatigue Chest pain, tightness, or pressure — especially with exertion Fainting, near-fainting, or unexplained dizziness Swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs Fainting, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath needs emergency care. Call 911. How we check it The main test is an echocardiogram — a heart ultrasound that shows the valves opening and closing and how well the heart is pumping. It is painless and uses no radiation. Treatment options Some valve problems only need watching, with repeat ultrasounds over time. Others are treatable with minimally invasive repair or replacement.Our structural heart care includes advanced catheter-based therapies, including evaluation for TAVR (replacing the aortic valve through a catheter instead of open surgery) and valve repair, in collaboration with internationally recognized colleagues.Whether a valve needs treatment, and which kind, is decided at the consultation after the echocardiogram.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about valve problems I was told I need open-heart surgery. Can I get a second opinion? Yes. Amavita frequently provides cardiovascular second opinions for patients who have been advised to undergo open-heart surgery — situations where a minimally invasive alternative may be available. Bring your imaging and recent records to your consultation. Where are hospital procedures done? For cases requiring hospital admission, Dr. Martinez-Clark has attending privileges at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and Jackson Memorial. Told you have a murmur or a valve problem? Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Heart-Healthy Living & Prevention URL: https://amavita.health/guides/heart-healthy-living/ Guide Heart-Healthy Living & Prevention The best cardiology visit is often the one that keeps you out of the hospital in the first place. This guide covers the habits, numbers, and screenings with the strongest evidence for preventing heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure — plus how a longevity-focused evaluation puts them together. What you'll learn Why prevention actually worksDiet patterns that protect the heartMovement, strength, and sleepThe numbers to know — and treatSmart screening in your 30s, 40s, and beyond Why prevention actually worksCardiovascular disease develops silently for decades. By the time a heart attack happens, plaque has usually been growing for 20+ years. The upside: the same trajectory can be slowed — and often partially reversed — with the right combination of lifestyle and, when indicated, medication.Prevention isn't a personality; it's a system. Small, sustained changes across diet, movement, sleep, and stress outperform any short-term intervention. Diet patterns that protect the heartThe Mediterranean-style pattern has the strongest cardiovascular evidence: vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, olive oil, nuts, fish, and modest amounts of dairy and poultry. Ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened drinks are the most consistent risk raisers.You do not need perfection. Even shifting the ratio — more plants and fish, less processed food and sugary drinks — meaningfully lowers cardiovascular risk. Movement, strength, and sleepAim for roughly 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity, plus two sessions of strength training. Muscle is metabolically protective — resistance training improves blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and long-term function.Sleep is not optional. Chronic short or fragmented sleep raises blood pressure, worsens glucose, and drives weight gain. Screening for and treating obstructive sleep apnea is one of the most underused levers in cardiology. The numbers to know — and treatKnow your blood pressure (goal typically <130/80 for most adults), LDL cholesterol, non-HDL, triglycerides, fasting glucose or A1c, and waist circumference. Trends matter more than single readings.Modern therapy — statins, newer lipid-lowering agents, SGLT2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 agonists in the right patients — can dramatically shift long-term risk when combined with lifestyle changes. Smart screening in your 30s, 40s, and beyondStarting in your 30s, an annual blood pressure check and periodic lipid panel are the minimum. In your 40s and 50s, a coronary artery calcium score can meaningfully personalize your risk if it's uncertain from labs and history alone.A longevity-focused cardiology evaluation brings imaging, labs, cardiorespiratory fitness testing, and lifestyle coaching into a single plan built around your goals. For the scan mentioned above, see our coronary calcium score page. When to see a cardiologist Preventive cardiology isn't only for people with symptoms. A proactive visit is often the highest-leverage decision you can make in a decade. Chest pain, pressure, or tightness — especially with exertion or shortness of breath. Palpitations, fainting spells, or a heart rhythm that feels irregular. Leg pain when walking, non-healing wounds, or new leg swelling. Family history of early heart disease, or personal history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. You want a proactive, preventive evaluation and a personalized plan. Educational content only — never a substitute for personalized medical advice. In an emergency, call 911. Explore related pages Longevity care and the specific lifestyle articles referenced above.

That’s what makes it dangerous: silent damage to arteries, heart, kidneys, and brain that adds up over years. What the two numbers mean Top number Systolic The pressure when your heart contracts. Bottom number Diastolic The pressure when your heart relaxes between beats. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg; hypertension begins at 130/80. Both numbers matter. A high top number alone is common in older adults and carries real risk, particularly for stroke.Most hypertension has no symptoms — home monitoring is the only way to catch it early. Why it is dangerous Chronic high pressure damages the inner lining of arteries, accelerating plaque buildup. It thickens and stiffens the heart muscle, contributing to heart failure and atrial fibrillation.It also strains the kidneys and small vessels of the brain, raising the risk of chronic kidney disease and vascular cognitive decline.Call 911 if a very high reading comes with chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, trouble speaking, or a severe headache. How your cardiologist can help Confirm the diagnosis Proper measurement technique matters. Bring your home readings and your cuff if you have one. Rule out secondary causes Sleep apnea, kidney disease, and hormonal disorders can all push pressure up. Build a personalized plan Lifestyle changes and — when needed — medication tailored to your other conditions. Medication is often complementary, not a failure. Regular follow-up Blood pressure control is a moving target that responds to weight, stress, sleep, sodium, and how regularly medicine is taken. Questions about blood pressure When should I see a cardiologist about my blood pressure? Consider a cardiology consultation if your home readings average above 130/80, if your pressure is difficult to control on two or more medications, if you have symptoms such as headaches or shortness of breath alongside elevated readings, or if you have a family history of early cardiovascular disease. Will I need tests? Often an EKG, and sometimes an echocardiogram to see whether pressure has affected the heart muscle. Your cardiologist orders only what will change the plan. Do you accept my insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Where can I read more?

That's what makes it dangerous: silent damage to arteries, heart, kidneys, and brain that adds up over years. Key takeaways Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg; hypertension begins at 130/80. Most hypertension has no symptoms — home monitoring is the only way to catch it early. Lifestyle changes can lower systolic pressure by 5–20 mmHg; medication is often complementary, not a failure. Uncontrolled hypertension multiplies your risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and dementia. What the two numbers meanThe top number (systolic) is the pressure when your heart contracts. The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when your heart relaxes between beats.Both matter. Isolated systolic hypertension is common in older adults and carries real risk, particularly for stroke. Why hypertension is dangerousChronic high pressure damages the inner lining of arteries, accelerating plaque buildup. It thickens and stiffens the heart muscle, contributing to heart failure and atrial fibrillation.It also strains the kidneys and small vessels of the brain, raising the risk of chronic kidney disease and vascular cognitive decline. How your cardiologist can helpA cardiologist confirms the diagnosis with proper measurement technique, rules out secondary causes (sleep apnea, kidney disease, hormonal disorders), and builds a personalized plan combining lifestyle changes and — when needed — medication tailored to your other conditions.Regular follow-up matters. Blood pressure control is a moving target that responds to weight, stress, sleep, sodium, and medication adherence. For how we evaluate and manage it in the office, see our high blood pressure page. When to see a cardiologist Consider a cardiology consultation if your home readings average above 130/80, if your pressure is difficult to control on two or more medications, if you have symptoms such as headaches or shortness of breath alongside elevated readings, or if you have a family history of early cardiovascular disease.Educational content only — never a substitute for personalized medical advice.

The numbers, in plain language LDL Low-density lipoprotein. It delivers cholesterol to artery walls, where it can build up into plaque. LDL is the primary target for heart-disease prevention. HDL High-density lipoprotein. It helps remove cholesterol. HDL is protective, but raising it artificially has not been proven to lower risk. ApoB A count of the particles that can cause plaque. It can reveal hidden risk when LDL looks “normal.” Lp(a) An inherited particle that raises heart-attack risk independently of LDL. It is largely genetic and should be measured at least once in a lifetime. Why it matters High cholesterol causes no symptoms. The harm is plaque building quietly in the arteries of the heart, the neck, and the legs — the process behind coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease.Targets are individualized. Someone with a prior heart attack needs an LDL far lower than a healthy 30-year-old with no risk factors. How we check it A basic panel reports total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Where it helps, we add advanced lipid, inflammatory, and metabolic labs, including ApoB and Lp(a).If your risk is still unclear from labs and history alone, a coronary calcium score can help personalize it. What to do about high numbers Lifestyle — dietary pattern, weight, exercise, sleep — moves cholesterol meaningfully but rarely enough on its own for high-risk patients. Statins remain the most evidence-backed medications; newer options provide additional levers when needed.The right treatment intensity depends on your overall cardiovascular risk, not any single number. That is decided with you at the consultation.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about cholesterol When should I see a cardiologist about cholesterol? Consider a cardiology visit if your LDL is above 160 mg/dL, if you have a family history of early heart attack, if you have diabetes or metabolic syndrome, or if you have never had your Lp(a) measured. Should I bring my lab results? Yes. Bring your most recent lab report and a list of your medications and doses. Trends over time are more useful than a single reading. Where can I read more?

Por qué ocurre Las venas de las piernas tienen pequeñas válvulas de una sola dirección que mantienen la sangre subiendo hacia el corazón. Cuando esas válvulas fallan, la sangre se devuelve hacia abajo y se acumula en la parte baja de la pierna. Los médicos lo llaman reflujo venoso.Esa presión de más es lo que causa la pesadez, la hinchazón al final del día y — con los años — los cambios en la piel alrededor del tobillo. Cómo se siente Pesadez o dolor en las piernas, peor después de estar de pie Hinchazón que empeora hacia la tarde Várices visibles Piel marrón o endurecida como cuero, o picazón, alrededor de los tobillos Una llaga cerca del tobillo que sana despacio (una úlcera venosa) La hinchazón repentina en una pierna con dolor, calor o enrojecimiento puede ser un coágulo de sangre y necesita evaluación urgente. Si hay dolor de pecho o falta de aire, llame al 911. Cómo revisamos sus venas Para la enfermedad venosa, el ultrasonido dúplex muestra dónde hay reflujo y coágulos. Estos estudios son rápidos, no duelen y se hacen en el consultorio. La mayoría de los pacientes se hace el estudio de reflujo venoso en la misma visita cuando hace falta.Como la hinchazón de las piernas también puede venir del corazón o de los riñones, la visita incluye un examen físico y, cuando hace falta, análisis de sangre básicos. Opciones de tratamiento Compresión y manejo médico Compresión graduada y orientación de estilo de vida, coordinadas con cualquier atención cardíaca o renal que ya reciba. Cierre venoso térmico La energía de radiofrecuencia o láser cierra la vena enferma desde adentro a través de un pequeño catéter. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/tratamiento-de-varices/ Sobre el tratamiento de várices Cierre venoso no térmico Un adhesivo médico o una espuma cierra las venas sin calor — una opción cuando la ablación térmica es menos adecuada. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/tratamiento-de-varices/ Sobre el tratamiento de várices Para qué es el tratamiento Ofrecemos tratamientos modernos con catéter — incluido el cierre venoso térmico y no térmico — que se realizan en nuestro consultorio y requieren un tiempo mínimo de recuperación.

Common symptoms of knee osteoarthritis Persistent aching or sharp knee pain, especially with walking, stairs, or standing Morning stiffness that improves with movement Swelling, warmth, or tenderness around the joint Reduced range of motion and a “grinding” sensation Pain that disrupts sleep or limits daily activities Why it hurts As the joint becomes inflamed, abnormal new blood vessels grow into the lining of the knee — and these vessels carry the inflammatory cells and pain signals that drive much of the daily discomfort patients experience.When this inflammation-driven pain persists despite conservative care, it is often the abnormal blood supply — not the cartilage itself — that is fueling the symptoms. Treatment usually goes in steps Most patients with knee osteoarthritis start with conservative, non-surgical treatments. Lifestyle and physical therapy Weight management, low-impact exercise, and targeted physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve joint mechanics. Medications Acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and topical analgesics to reduce pain and inflammation when appropriate. Injections Corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP injections that can provide temporary relief but often wear off over weeks to months. Genicular artery embolization (GAE) A minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that targets the inflamed blood vessels driving knee pain — no general anesthesia, no surgical incision, and no joint replacement. Read the full GAE page https://amavita.health/genicular-artery-embolization Where we come in We are a heart and vascular practice, so we do not replace knees or give joint injections. What we offer is genicular artery embolization (GAE): a treatment done through the blood vessels for patients who have not gotten enough relief from earlier steps but want to delay or avoid total knee replacement surgery.At the consultation we review your knee imaging, prior treatments, and goals to confirm whether GAE is a reasonable option for you. It is not right for every patient.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about knee arthritis and GAE Who is GAE for? GAE is appropriate for patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis whose pain has not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, NSAIDs, or steroid injections — and who want to delay or avoid total knee replacement. It is also an option for patients who are not surgical candidates due to age, weight, or other medical conditions. Does insurance cover GAE in Miami? Coverage depends on your insurance plan and specific clinical situation. Our team will verify benefits and discuss costs during your consultation before scheduling the procedure. What should I bring? Bring any knee X-rays or MRI reports you have, a list of the treatments you have already tried, and your medication list. Tired of chronic knee pain? A short consultation confirms whether genicular artery embolization is a fit for your specific knee — and answers your questions about recovery and results. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. --- ## Learning Center URL: https://amavita.health/learn/ Heart Health Learning Center Educational articles from Miami cardiologists Clear, physician-led explanations of the cardiovascular conditions, symptoms, and treatments our patients ask about most.

Three tools, one small puncture A catheter is a thin, flexible tube. It is guided through the artery to the narrowed spot. Doctors call this endovascular treatment — working from inside the blood vessel. Angioplasty A small balloon is inflated inside the narrowed artery to widen it, then removed. Atherectomy A device on the catheter shaves away plaque (the fatty buildup) from the artery wall. Stenting A stent — a small mesh tube — is placed to hold the artery open. Who it is for These procedures are for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) when symptoms limit daily life or are not improving with medical therapy — for example leg pain when walking that keeps you from your normal routine — or when poor blood flow is keeping a leg or foot wound from healing.Not everyone with PAD needs a procedure. Many patients improve significantly with a structured exercise program, medication, and risk-factor control. The decision is made with you after the leg circulation check. What happens on the day This is the usual sequence. Your own instructions come from our team before the procedure. Before you come in You receive instructions about eating, drinking, and your medications — especially blood thinners and diabetes medicines. Arrange for someone to drive you home. Numbing and light sedation The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and light sedation. You are relaxed but not put fully to sleep. A small puncture, not an incision The catheter goes in through a small puncture in the groin or wrist and is guided to the leg artery using X-ray and contrast dye. Opening the artery The doctor uses angioplasty, atherectomy, a stent, or a combination, depending on what the artery needs. Recovery and going home You rest while the team watches the puncture site. Most patients return home the same day and resume walking quickly. Where it is done Procedures are performed at amavita’s dedicated ambulatory surgery center, co-located at our Kendall office — 9408 SW 87th Ave, Suite 303, Miami, FL 33176. An ambulatory surgery center is an outpatient facility: you come in, have the procedure, recover, and go home, without a hospital admission.For cases requiring hospital admission, Dr. Martinez-Clark has attending privileges at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and Jackson Memorial.Consultations and follow-up visits are at either office: Kendall or North Miami Beach. After the procedure Opening the artery is one part of the care. Continued risk-factor management — not smoking, walking, and the medicines your doctor prescribes — protects the result. Follow-up visits check that blood is still flowing well.Like any procedure, this one has risks, including bleeding or bruising at the puncture site and effects of the contrast dye on the kidneys. Dr. Martinez-Clark reviews your individual risks with you before you decide. What to bring A photo ID and your insurance card A list of current medications and dosages Any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible) A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark An adult to drive you home A list of every medication and supplement you take, including blood thinners Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. Questions about leg angioplasty Will I need surgery? Most patients avoid open surgery. Modern endovascular treatment uses a tiny pinhole access at the wrist or groin, and most people go home the same day. Do I need a stent? Not always. Many patients improve significantly with a structured exercise program, medication, and risk-factor control. Procedures are reserved for symptoms that limit daily life or continue despite medical therapy. What is endovascular treatment? Endovascular procedures use small catheter-based access points instead of open surgery. Most patients go home the same day, return to walking quickly, and avoid the long recovery and scarring of traditional vascular surgery. Is it covered by insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. I was told I may need an amputation. Can I get another opinion? Yes. Early vascular evaluation identifies which vessels are the problem — and whether they can be reopened. Call (305) 249-5666 and tell us it is urgent. Bring your imaging and recent records. Find out whether your leg arteries can be reopened. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Leg Pain When You Walk (Claudication) URL: https://amavita.health/conditions/claudication/ Legs and circulation Leg pain when you walk (claudication) Predictable cramping, aching, or fatigue in the calves, thighs, or buttocks after walking a certain distance — that eases within a few minutes of rest — is called intermittent claudication. It is the classic symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD): narrowed leg arteries that cannot supply enough blood to working muscles. What to know first Claudication is a symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD) — narrowed leg arteries. PAD is a marker of cardiovascular risk overall, not just a leg problem. Angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting can restore flow and may let you walk further with less pain. Common symptoms What patients typically notice: Cramping in the calf, thigh, or buttock after walking a predictable distance Pain that eases within a few minutes of standing still Coldness or numbness in one foot compared with the other Reduced hair growth, shiny skin, or slow-healing scrapes on the lower leg Pain in the foot at rest, especially at night (advanced PAD — see a doctor promptly) Sudden, severe leg pain with a cold, pale leg is an emergency. Call 911 or go to the emergency room. Why it matters PAD affects roughly 1 in 20 adults over 50 and is significantly more common in people with diabetes, kidney disease, or a history of smoking. Left untreated it limits mobility and, in advanced cases, threatens the limb.PAD is also a strong signal for coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries that feed the heart). Evaluating it is a chance to catch and manage heart risk at the same time.Read more about the cause on our peripheral artery disease page. How we treat it First, the check Ankle-brachial index (ABI) and vascular ultrasound A simple, non-invasive test confirms whether artery narrowing is behind your symptoms. https://amavita.health/services/pad-screening About the leg circulation check First-line care Structured exercise, medical therapy, and risk-factor optimization First-line care that improves walking distance and lowers overall cardiovascular risk. When needed Angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting Catheter-based procedures that reopen narrowed arteries when symptoms limit daily life or are not improving with medical therapy. https://amavita.health/services/leg-angioplasty-and-stenting About leg angioplasty and stenting Insurance Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept.See everything we do for leg arteries and veins on our vascular care page. Frequently asked Is claudication dangerous? Claudication itself is not immediately dangerous, but it signals underlying peripheral artery disease — which raises the risk of heart attack and stroke and can progress to more severe leg symptoms if untreated. Do I need a stent? Not always. Many patients improve significantly with a structured exercise program, medication, and risk-factor control. Procedures are reserved for symptoms that limit daily life or continue despite medical therapy. What does the evaluation involve? A physical exam, an ankle-brachial index (ABI), and often a duplex ultrasound. Advanced imaging is added only when we are planning an intervention. Find out why your legs hurt when you walk.

Frequently Asked Questions — Longevity Medicine What is longevity medicine at amavita? Amavita's longevity program is a physician-led, evidence-based approach to extending healthspan — the years lived in good health — through personalized cardiovascular risk reduction, advanced biomarker testing, targeted supplementation, lifestyle optimization, and select preventive interventions. It is anchored in interventional cardiology, not marketing wellness trends. What does a longevity consultation include? A longevity consultation includes advanced cardiovascular imaging (coronary calcium scoring, carotid ultrasound as indicated), comprehensive lipid and inflammatory biomarker panels, metabolic assessment (insulin resistance, HbA1c, body composition), and a personalized plan integrating diet, exercise, sleep, and — when indicated — pharmacologic risk reduction. Who is a candidate for the longevity program? The program is designed for adults 35 and older who want to proactively identify and reduce cardiovascular risk before disease is symptomatic, adults with a family history of early cardiovascular disease, and patients who want to combine primary-prevention medicine with modern longevity science. How is amavita's longevity approach different from a wellness clinic? Amavita's longevity program is directed by Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, a Harvard-trained, ABIM-triple-board-certified interventional cardiologist. Every recommendation is grounded in cardiovascular evidence and appropriate for the patient's actual imaging and biomarkers. We do not prescribe untested therapies or off-label protocols outside the cardiovascular evidence base. Is longevity medicine covered by insurance? Some diagnostic components (labs, imaging, cardiology consultation) are covered by most insurance plans when medically indicated. Certain longevity-specific services may be self-pay. Our billing team clarifies coverage before scheduling. Amavita accepts Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid. Do you offer nutrition or supplementation guidance? Yes. As part of the longevity program, we provide evidence-based supplementation guidance and nutrition recommendations tailored to your cardiovascular risk profile and biomarker results. How often do longevity patients follow up? Follow-up cadence is individualized — typically an initial deep-dive visit, a 90-day biomarker review, and then quarterly or semi-annual check-ins depending on risk profile and progress toward goals. Build your long-term cardiovascular plan A preventive cardiology visit includes a full risk assessment and a personalized plan you can actually follow — reviewed with you by a board-certified cardiologist.

It compares the blood pressure at your ankle with the pressure in your arm, and uses ultrasound to look at the arteries. What the check includes Ankle-brachial index (ABI) The first-line test for peripheral artery disease (PAD). Blood pressure cuffs are placed on your arms and ankles and the readings are compared. A lower pressure at the ankle suggests a narrowed artery on the way down. Ultrasound of the leg arteries Ultrasound imaging (also called Doppler or duplex ultrasound) identifies where narrowings are and how significant they are. A handheld probe is moved over the skin with gel. No needles and no radiation. Who should have it Seek evaluation if you have any of the following: Calf, thigh, or buttock pain with walking that eases with rest A foot or leg wound that is slow to heal or will not heal Coldness, numbness, or a color change in one foot Diabetes plus one other cardiovascular risk factor, such as smoking, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol Many people with PAD have no symptoms at all. The disease is often found on an ABI screening. Sudden severe leg pain with a cold, pale limb is an emergency — go to the ER or call 911. What happens at the visit Schedule your vascular evaluation Call or request online; our team confirms insurance and books at Kendall or North Miami Beach — typically within a week. Symptom review & focused exam We map your symptoms, examine pulses, skin, and swelling, and review any prior imaging you bring. Non-invasive testing in-office Most patients get ankle-brachial index (ABI), Doppler ultrasound, or vein-reflux studies during the same visit when needed. Plain-language diagnosis You’ll leave understanding what’s going on with your circulation and which treatment options fit your goals. Where it is done The check is done in the office, at MedSquare Health in Kendall or NorthPark Professional in North Miami Beach. There is nothing to recover from. You can drive yourself and go about your day afterward. What to bring A photo ID and your insurance card A list of current medications and dosages Any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible) A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark Loose trousers or a skirt, so your lower legs are easy to reach If the check finds a narrowed artery Many patients improve with a structured walking program, medication, and risk-factor control. When symptoms limit daily life or a wound is not healing, leg angioplasty and stenting can reopen the artery.PAD is also a signal about the heart. Evaluating it is a chance to catch and manage heart risk at the same time. Read more on our peripheral artery disease page.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about the leg circulation check Does the test hurt? No. The ABI feels like having your blood pressure taken, at the arms and at the ankles. The ultrasound is a probe moved over the skin with gel. What does the evaluation involve? A physical exam, an ankle-brachial index (ABI), and often a duplex ultrasound. Advanced imaging is added only when we are planning an intervention. Do I need a referral? Most HMO plans require a referral from your primary care doctor. Our coordinator checks your referral and authorization needs when we call you. Is it only for people with leg pain? No. A wound that will not heal, a cold or discolored foot, or diabetes with other risk factors are all reasons to check the circulation, even without walking pain. Find out how well blood is reaching your feet. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit.

Untreated, it can lead to claudication (pain when walking), non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, limb loss. PAD warning signs to know If any of these sound familiar, a conversation with a board-certified cardiologist is a good next step. Leg pain or cramping when walking that eases with rest (claudication) Leg numbness, weakness, or heaviness Coldness in the lower leg or foot, especially compared to the other side Sores or wounds on toes, feet, or legs that heal slowly or won’t heal A change in the color of the legs or feet (pale, bluish) Shiny skin, hair loss, or slower toenail growth on the legs Weak or absent pulse in the legs or feet Erectile dysfunction (can be an early vascular warning sign) Sudden severe leg pain with a cold, pale limb is an emergency — go to the ER immediately or call 911. Why it happens PAD is the buildup of plaque (fatty deposits) in the arteries that supply the legs. Reduced flow starves muscles of oxygen during activity, causing cramping or fatigue that resolves with rest. Advanced PAD can cause pain at rest, non-healing wounds, or in severe cases, tissue loss.Smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are the main drivers. Many patients have no symptoms at all, or put them down to aging and never mention them — until a wound appears.PAD is not just a leg problem. It is the same disease process that causes heart attacks, in a different location. Patients with PAD have a significantly higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Identifying and treating PAD is part of protecting the heart. How we check for PAD The first tests are quick, painless, and done in the office. Symptom review and focused exam We map your symptoms, examine pulses, skin, and swelling, and review any prior imaging you bring. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) A simple comparison of blood pressure at the ankle and the arm. It is the first-line test for PAD. Ultrasound of the leg arteries Ultrasound imaging identifies where narrowings are and how significant they are. Angiography, only when a procedure is planned When intervention is being planned, catheter-based angiography (X-ray pictures of the arteries using contrast dye) provides the highest-resolution view. Read what the first visit involves on our leg circulation check page. Treatment options Not every narrowed artery needs a procedure. Care starts with the basics and steps up only if you need it. Foundation Risk-factor control and a walking program Tobacco cessation, structured walking programs, statin therapy, antiplatelet medication, and control of blood pressure and diabetes. When symptoms limit your life Angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting Catheter-based procedures that reopen narrowed leg arteries through a small puncture in the groin or wrist, usually as an outpatient. https://amavita.health/services/leg-angioplasty-and-stenting About leg angioplasty and stenting Related symptoms PAD is the usual cause behind leg pain when you walk and many leg or foot wounds that will not heal. Our Learning Center article on PAD goes into more detail.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about PAD What is peripheral artery disease (PAD) and how is it treated? PAD is a circulatory condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs — most commonly the legs. Untreated, it can lead to claudication (pain when walking), non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, limb loss. We treat PAD with angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting to restore healthy blood flow. What are the warning signs of PAD? Common warning signs include leg cramping when walking, coldness or numbness in a foot, slow-healing sores on the feet or toes, and changes in leg skin color. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an evaluation. What is endovascular treatment? Endovascular procedures use small catheter-based access points instead of open surgery. Most patients go home the same day, return to walking quickly, and avoid the long recovery and scarring of traditional vascular surgery. Will I need a procedure? Not always. Many patients improve with a structured exercise program, medication, and risk-factor control. Procedures are reserved for symptoms that limit daily life or continue despite medical therapy. A short test can show how well blood reaches your feet. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit.

Roughly 8 million Americans have PAD, and many do not know it. Key takeaways Leg cramping with walking that resolves with rest (claudication) is the classic symptom. PAD is a marker of systemic atherosclerosis — patients face significantly higher heart attack and stroke risk. Smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are the main drivers. Modern endovascular treatment can restore blood flow through small punctures — often with same-day discharge. What PAD feels likeClassic claudication is calf, thigh, or buttock pain that starts with walking a predictable distance and stops within minutes of rest. Some patients notice cold feet, non-healing wounds, hair loss on the toes, or nighttime foot pain that improves when the leg hangs off the bed.Many patients have no symptoms at all — the disease is uncovered on an ankle-brachial index (ABI) screening or during imaging for another reason. Why PAD is a heart warningPAD and coronary artery disease share the same underlying mechanism. A patient with PAD carries a substantially higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death than the general population.That is why PAD treatment is never only about the legs — it is a full cardiovascular risk-reduction opportunity. How PAD is treatedFoundational care includes tobacco cessation, structured walking programs, statin therapy, antiplatelet medication, and control of blood pressure and diabetes.For lifestyle-limiting symptoms or critical limb-threatening ischemia, endovascular therapy — angioplasty, atherectomy, stenting — restores blood flow through a small groin or wrist puncture, usually as an outpatient. The first step is a quick, painless test. Read about our leg circulation check (PAD screening). When to see a cardiologist Seek evaluation for calf pain with walking, non-healing foot wounds, coldness or color change in a foot, or if you have diabetes plus one other cardiovascular risk factor. Sudden severe leg pain with a cold, pale limb is an emergency — go to the ER immediately.Educational content only — never a substitute for personalized medical advice.

Cuándo la hinchazón es una emergencia La hinchazón súbita en una pierna con dolor, calor o enrojecimiento puede indicar una trombosis venosa profunda (TVP, un coágulo de sangre en una vena profunda de la pierna) y requiere evaluación urgente. La hinchazón con dificultad para respirar o dolor en el pecho debe tratarse como una emergencia — llame al 911. Síntomas comunes Tobillos o parte baja de las piernas que se ven hinchados al final del día La piel se marca al presionarla y tarda segundos en recuperarse Dolor, pesadez o sensación de tirantez en las pantorrillas Várices visibles, cambios de color en la piel o piel que sana despacio cerca del tobillo Una pierna notablemente más grande que la otra, especialmente con dolor o calor (consulte a un médico pronto) Por qué importa La hinchazón persistente de las piernas (edema) suele ser causada por insuficiencia venosa crónica — las venas de las piernas fallan en retornar la sangre eficientemente al corazón.La hinchazón prolongada puede causar daño en la piel y úlceras venosas (llagas abiertas cerca del tobillo) difíciles de sanar una vez abiertas. Tratar la enfermedad venosa subyacente temprano generalmente previene esta cascada.La hinchazón de piernas también puede reflejar insuficiencia cardíaca (página en inglés) o enfermedad renal. Una evaluación cardiovascular breve — con examen físico, ultrasonido y análisis básicos — nos dice qué sistema la está causando. Cómo lo tratamos Primero buscamos la causa. El tratamiento depende de lo que muestre el ultrasonido. Ultrasonido venoso y evaluación diagnóstica El ultrasonido en consulta identifica reflujo (válvulas defectuosas) en venas específicas y descarta un coágulo de sangre. Manejo médico y terapia de compresión Compresión graduada y orientación de estilo de vida, coordinadas con cualquier atención cardíaca o renal que ya reciba. Ablación endovenosa (cierre venoso térmico o no térmico) Procedimiento con catéter, realizado en nuestro centro de cirugía, que cierra la vena enferma. La mayoría de los pacientes se retiran caminando el mismo día. Sobre el tratamiento de várices https://amavita.health/es/servicios/tratamiento-de-varices/ Tratamiento de venas y seguro Los tratamientos venosos modernos con catéter, realizados en nuestro centro de cirugía, cierran las venas enfermas con tiempo mínimo de recuperación.

Una prueba de esfuerzo observa su corazón mientras está bajo carga — con ejercicio o, si usted no puede hacer ejercicio, con un medicamento. Dos tipos Prueba de esfuerzo con ejercicio Usted camina en una caminadora mientras se registran el ritmo de su corazón y su presión. El paso aumenta poco a poco. Prueba de esfuerzo farmacológica Para personas que no pueden caminar lo suficiente — por dolor en las piernas, artritis o problemas de equilibrio — un medicamento hace que el corazón responda como lo haría con el ejercicio. Para quién es Según sus síntomas y factores de riesgo, su cardiólogo puede recomendar una prueba de esfuerzo cuando hay dolor o presión en el pecho con la actividad, falta de aire con el esfuerzo, o cuando hace falta revisar si hay arterias del corazón bloqueadas (en inglés).La meta no es ordenar todas las pruebas — es formar una imagen lo bastante exacta para guiar el tratamiento. Qué pasa Esta es la secuencia general. Sus instrucciones exactas se las da nuestro equipo cuando se programa la prueba. Preparación Le dicen qué comer y beber antes y qué medicamentos tomar o suspender. Siga esas instrucciones y no los consejos generales. Se conecta el monitoreo Se colocan parches de electrocardiograma en su pecho y un manguito de presión en su brazo. Se pone el corazón a trabajar Caminando en una caminadora o con un medicamento. El personal lo acompaña todo el tiempo. Avíseles de inmediato si siente dolor de pecho, mareo o mucha falta de aire. Recuperación y resultados Lo vigilan hasta que su ritmo cardíaco se calma. Su cardiólogo le explica qué mostró la prueba y qué sigue, si es que sigue algo. Qué traer Una identificación con foto y su tarjeta de seguro Una lista de sus medicamentos actuales con dosis Cualquier resultado o imagen cardiovascular previa (en disco si es posible) Una lista de preguntas o preocupaciones que desee discutir con el Dr. Martinez-Clark Zapatos cómodos para caminar y ropa suelta Su inhalador, si usa uno Cuando programamos su prueba de esfuerzo, nuestro equipo le confirma dónde se hará y cómo prepararse. Si el resultado es anormal Una prueba de esfuerzo anormal no siempre significa una arteria bloqueada, y una normal no descarta todos los problemas. Su cardiólogo junta el resultado con sus síntomas.

A stress test watches your heart while it is under load — either with exercise or, if you cannot exercise, with medicine. Two kinds Exercise stress test You walk on a treadmill while your heart rhythm and blood pressure are recorded. The pace rises gradually. Pharmacologic stress test For people who cannot walk far enough — because of leg pain, arthritis, or balance — a medicine makes the heart respond as it would to exercise. Who it is for Depending on your symptoms and risk factors, your cardiologist may recommend stress testing when there is chest pain or pressure with activity, shortness of breath on exertion, or a need to check for blocked heart arteries.The goal is not to order every test — it is to build a picture accurate enough to guide treatment. What happens This is the general sequence. Your exact instructions come from our team when the test is scheduled. Preparation You are told what to eat and drink beforehand and which medicines to take or hold. Follow those instructions rather than general advice. Monitoring is attached EKG patches go on your chest and a blood pressure cuff on your arm. The heart is put to work By walking on a treadmill or by medicine. Staff stay with you throughout. Tell them at once if you feel chest pain, dizziness, or severe shortness of breath. Recovery and results You are monitored until your heart rate settles. Your cardiologist explains what the test showed and what, if anything, comes next. What to bring A photo ID and your insurance card A list of current medications and dosages Any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible) A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark Comfortable walking shoes and loose clothing Your inhaler, if you use one When we schedule your stress test, our team confirms where it will be done and how to prepare. If the result is abnormal An abnormal stress test does not always mean a blocked artery, and a normal one does not rule out every problem. Your cardiologist puts the result together with your symptoms. When a definitive answer is needed, the next step may be a cardiac catheterization.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Questions about the stress test I cannot walk far because my legs hurt. Can I still be tested? Yes. A pharmacologic stress test uses medicine instead of exercise. And leg pain when walking deserves its own evaluation — see leg pain when you walk. Is it safe? A stress test is a common test and trained staff monitor you the whole time. Like any test it has risks, which your cardiologist reviews with you beforehand. I had a stress test elsewhere and was told I need a cath. Can you review it? Yes. We routinely review outside imaging and stress tests for second opinions. Bring the report and your records. Symptoms when you exert yourself should be checked. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit. Most new patients are seen within 5–7 business days. --- ## Stress test in Kendall URL: https://amavita.health/locations/medsquare/stress-test-kendall/ Kendall Office Stress test in Kendall: start with a cardiology visit A stress test shows how your heart works when it is made to work harder.

People supplementing with these ingredients experienced measurable improvements in focus and recall.Ideal ForProfessionals, students, and adults who want to stay mentally sharp, combat brain fog, or support long-term brain health. Healthy Man Ultra Testosterone The ProblemAfter 30, testosterone levels decline by roughly 1% per year. That gradual drop shows up as lower energy, reduced strength, slower recovery, and diminished drive. Most men don't realize the cause — they just know something feels off.What the Research ShowsStudies suggest natural testosterone-supporting compounds may help maintain healthy hormone levels in aging men. Participants reported improvements in energy, mood, physical performance, and overall quality of life.Ideal ForMen experiencing low energy, reduced physical performance, weight gain, or declining motivation — especially those who want hormone support without compromising heart health. Healthy Aging NAD Support The ProblemFeeling like your body is slowing down? There's a biological reason. NAD+ can decline by up to 50% as you age, affecting everything from how well you sleep to how quickly you bounce back.What the Research ShowsEmerging research suggests NAD+ precursor supplementation may help support healthy cellular NAD+ levels. Study participants reported improvements in energy, cognitive function, sleep quality, and physical recovery.Ideal ForAdults who want to take a proactive, science-backed approach to aging by supporting energy, brain function, and recovery at the cellular level.

When swelling is an emergency Sudden swelling in one leg with pain, warmth, or redness can indicate a deep vein thrombosis (DVT, a blood clot in a deep leg vein) and needs urgent evaluation. Swelling with shortness of breath or chest pain should be treated as an emergency — call 911. Common symptoms Ankles or lower legs that look puffy by the end of the day Skin indents when pressed and takes seconds to bounce back Aching, heaviness, or a tight feeling in the calves Visible varicose veins, skin discoloration, or slow-healing skin near the ankle One leg noticeably larger than the other, especially with pain or warmth (see a doctor promptly) Why it matters Persistent leg swelling (edema) is often caused by chronic venous insufficiency — leg veins failing to return blood efficiently to the heart.Long-standing swelling can lead to skin damage and venous ulcers (open sores near the ankle) that are hard to heal once they open. Treating the underlying vein disease early usually prevents this cascade.Leg swelling can also reflect heart failure or kidney disease. A brief cardiovascular evaluation — including a physical exam, ultrasound, and basic bloodwork — tells us which system is driving it. How we treat it We find the cause first. Treatment depends on what the ultrasound shows. Venous ultrasound and diagnostic workup Bedside ultrasound identifies reflux (leaky valves) in specific veins and rules out a blood clot. Medical management and compression therapy Graduated compression and lifestyle guidance, coordinated with any heart or kidney care you already receive. Endovenous ablation (thermal or non-thermal vein closure) Catheter-based procedure, performed at our surgery center, that closes the diseased vein. Most patients walk out the same day. About vein treatment https://amavita.health/services/vein-treatment Vein treatment and insurance Modern catheter-based vein treatments, performed at our surgery center, close diseased veins with minimal downtime. Read how it is done on our vein treatment page.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Frequently asked When is leg swelling an emergency? Sudden swelling in one leg with pain, warmth, or redness can indicate a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and needs urgent evaluation. Swelling with shortness of breath or chest pain should be treated as an emergency — call 911. Is leg swelling from vein disease covered by insurance? Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover vein evaluations and treatments when there are symptoms and documented reflux on ultrasound. Our team verifies benefits before scheduling. How long does vein closure take to work? Most patients notice reduced heaviness and swelling within a few weeks. Skin healing and discoloration improvements can take several months. Find out what is making your legs swell. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day. We verify your insurance before your visit.

What to know before you read on Amavita Heart and Vascular Health offers physician-supervised testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), including subcutaneous testosterone pellet therapy using the Virden Method™, for men with clinically and laboratory-confirmed hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency). TRT is a prescription medical treatment — and testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance — with real benefits for appropriately selected patients and real risks that require screening, informed consent, and ongoing laboratory monitoring. TRT is not an anti-aging treatment, an athletic-performance aid, or a general “wellness” or “energy” product, and we do not prescribe it for those purposes. For men with laboratory-confirmed hypogonadism only — not an anti-aging or wellness treatment Requires in-person evaluation, two morning testosterone labs, and written informed consent Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance carrying FDA class warnings Pellets used at Amavita are compounded (503A) and not FDA-approved Includes the Virden Method™ pellet technique, licensed to Amavita in the State of Florida About the Virden Method™ The Virden Method™ is an in-office testosterone hormone replacement therapy technique developed by Charles P. Virden, MD, and licensed to Amavita Heart and Vascular through VitalTE Lifesciences Inc. Under our license, Amavita is authorized to use the Virden Method™ at our clinics in the State of Florida. Only Amavita clinicians who have completed the Virden training curriculum perform the procedure at our practice. The Virden Method™ is a trademark of Charles P. Virden, MD, and is licensed to Amavita through VitalTE Lifesciences Inc.; more information about the Method is available at therapellet.com/the-virden-method. Who Is a Candidate for TRT? We follow the Endocrine Society’s 2018 Clinical Practice Guideline, which recommends “diagnosing hypogonadism only in men with symptoms and signs consistent with testosterone (T) deficiency and unequivocally and consistently low serum T concentrations” (Bhasin et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2018;103(5):1715–1744; DOI 10.1210/jc.2018-00229; PMID 29562364).To be considered for TRT at Amavita, a patient must have all of the following:Two separate early-morning, fasting total testosterone measurements, on different days, both below the laboratory reference range — the American Urological Association identifies “a total testosterone level below 300 ng/dL as a reasonable cut-off in support of the diagnosis of low testosterone” (Mulhall et al., J Urol 2018;200(2):423–432; DOI 10.1016/j.juro.2018.03.115; PMID 29601923);Documented signs and symptoms consistent with testosterone deficiency (e.g., reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of body hair, low bone density);An in-person evaluation by one of our physicians, including history, physical examination, and review of contraindications; andWritten informed consent after a risk-benefit discussion.We do not prescribe testosterone for:Age-related decline in testosterone without confirmed hypogonadism. The FDA has approved testosterone “only for men who have low testosterone levels caused by certain medical conditions,” and cautions that the “benefit and safety of these medications have not been established” for low testosterone due to aging (FDA Drug Safety Communication, March 3, 2015);Athletic or physique enhancement;General wellness, “energy,” or “vitality” in men with normal testosterone levels. Who Should NOT Receive TRT (Contraindications) Per the Endocrine Society 2018 guideline, we do not start testosterone therapy in men with any of the following: Prostate cancer (active or suspected), a palpable prostate nodule or induration, PSA > 4 ng/mL (or > 3 ng/mL with elevated prostate cancer risk) without urologic evaluation Breast cancer Elevated hematocrit (erythrocytosis); therapy is stopped if hematocrit exceeds 54% Severe untreated obstructive sleep apnea Uncontrolled or poorly controlled heart failure Severe lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS > 19) Myocardial infarction or stroke within the past 6 months Desire for fertility in the near term (testosterone suppresses sperm production) Thrombophilia (a clotting disorder) Source: Bhasin et al., Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, 2018 (PMID 29562364). What Benefits Does the Evidence Actually Support? In men with confirmed hypogonadism, randomized-trial evidence (including the Testosterone Trials, Snyder et al., N Engl J Med 2016;374:611–624; DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa1506119; PMID 26886521) supports:Sexual function: modest, consistent improvements in libido and sexual activity;Mood: small improvements in mood and depressive symptoms;Body composition: increased lean body mass and decreased fat mass (effects on strength and physical function are modest);Anemia and bone density: improvement in unexplained anemia and in volumetric bone mineral density in older hypogonadal men.What the evidence does not clearly support: the Testosterone Trials’ Vitality Trial did not show a significant improvement in fatigue/energy versus placebo, and testosterone did not improve cognitive function. We do not promise specific results, and individual responses vary. Any percentage “success rates” you see advertised elsewhere without a cited study, denominator, and confidence interval should be treated with skepticism. Is Testosterone Therapy Safe for My Heart? What did the TRAVERSE trial show?TRAVERSE (Lincoff et al., N Engl J Med 2023;389:107–117; DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa2303053; PMID 37326322) enrolled 5,246 men aged 45–80 with hypogonadism and elevated cardiovascular risk. It was a non-inferiority trial: testosterone gel was found non-inferior to placebo for major adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio 0.96; 95% CI 0.78–1.17). TRAVERSE did not show that testosterone reduces or protects against cardiovascular events, and it does not apply to men without diagnosed hypogonadism.Did TRAVERSE identify any risks?Yes. The testosterone group had higher rates of atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, and pulmonary embolism than placebo. We screen for and discuss these risks before treatment.What does the FDA say?FDA-approved testosterone labeling carries class-wide warnings that some studies have reported a possible increased risk of heart attack and stroke with testosterone use (FDA Drug Safety Communication, March 3, 2015), and a class-wide warning regarding abuse and dependence (FDA, October 25, 2016). Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance under federal law. As a cardiology-led practice, we take these warnings seriously and will review them with you in person before any prescription. Risks and Side Effects Testosterone therapy can cause or worsen:Erythrocytosis (elevated red blood cell count, the most common laboratory adverse effect), which can increase clotting riskProstate effects, including PSA elevation and stimulation of existing prostate tissue; effects on prostate cancer risk require ongoing monitoringSuppression of sperm production and fertility (may be prolonged or, rarely, irreversible)Acne and oily skin; breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia)Worsening of obstructive sleep apneaFluid retention (edema)Possible increased cardiovascular risk, per FDA class labeling described abovePellet-specific risks: pellet insertion is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Risks include bleeding, bruising, insertion-site infection, pain, and pellet extrusion (the pellet working its way out of the skin), which may require re-insertion. Pellet dosing is less adjustable than gels or injections; once inserted, pellets cannot easily be removed if side effects occur. About the Pellets We Use Amavita uses compounded testosterone pellets prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy under Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Compounded pellets are prescribed on a patient-specific basis when an FDA-approved product is not clinically appropriate for the individual patient. We will discuss the compounded nature of your medication as part of the informed-consent process before treatment. Laboratory Monitoring: What We Require Source: Endocrine Society 2018 guideline (PMID 29562364).TimepointWhat we checkBaseline (before treatment)Two morning total testosterone levels, hematocrit, PSA and prostate assessment (per age/risk), symptom inventory, cardiovascular history3–6 months after startingTotal testosterone, hematocrit, PSA (per age/risk), symptom and side-effect reviewAnnually thereafterTotal testosterone, hematocrit, PSA (per age/risk), symptom reviewTherapy is held or discontinued if hematocrit exceeds 54%, if PSA findings require urologic evaluation, or if significant adverse effects develop. Patients who do not attend monitoring visits cannot safely continue therapy. Informed Consent Is Required TRT at Amavita requires written informed consent before the first prescription or pellet insertion. Your consent discussion and form will cover, at minimum: The FDA class warnings described above, including possible cardiovascular risk and abuse potential, which you will be asked to acknowledge in writing; That the pellets we use are compounded and not FDA-approved; That pellet insertion is a surgical procedure with infection and extrusion risk; Effects on fertility and alternatives if you may want children; Alternatives to pellets (gels, injections, patches) and the option of no treatment; Your right to decline or discontinue therapy at any time. Our Cardiology Services Are Separate From This Program Amavita is a cardiology practice, and some TRT candidates independently need cardiovascular evaluation. To protect your right to make independent medical decisions:Testosterone therapy at Amavita is not sold as a package or “program” that includes cardiac testing, coronary calcium scoring, imaging, or supplements.Cardiovascular tests are ordered only when independently medically indicated, documented separately, consented to separately, and billed separately. Being on testosterone therapy is not, by itself, a medical indication for a calcium score or other cardiac imaging.You are free to obtain any cardiovascular testing or care from any provider you choose. Receiving TRT here creates no obligation to use Amavita’s cardiology services, and declining cardiac testing will not affect your access to TRT unless your physician determines it is medically necessary for safe treatment. Pricing We charge on a fee-for-service basis: an office evaluation, laboratory testing (which may be billable to your insurance), and a per-procedure pellet insertion fee with included insertion-site follow-up. We do not sell subscription “tiers” or bundle unrelated services. Contact our office for current fees, which we will provide in writing before treatment. If a service is not covered by your insurance, you will be told the cost in advance.For the plans we work with, see our insurance page. Testosterone therapy — what patients ask most Does testosterone therapy cause heart attacks? The evidence is mixed, which is why FDA labeling warns of a possible increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The largest randomized safety trial (TRAVERSE, 2023) found testosterone non-inferior to placebo for major cardiac events in hypogonadal men at elevated cardiovascular risk, but found higher rates of atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, and pulmonary embolism. Discuss your individual risk with your physician. Can I get testosterone through a telehealth-only visit? No. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, and Amavita’s practice policy requires an in-person evaluation before any TRT prescription. This is a firm requirement of Amavita’s clinical protocol: safe initiation of testosterone therapy requires a physical examination, laboratory confirmation on two separate mornings, screening for contraindications (including prostate assessment), and an in-person informed-consent discussion of the current FDA class labeling and the abuse potential of a controlled substance. Follow-up monitoring visits may be eligible for telehealth where clinically appropriate and permitted by law. Will testosterone therapy affect my fertility? Yes — testosterone suppresses sperm production, sometimes for a prolonged period after stopping. If you may want children, tell your physician; alternatives exist. How long do pellets last? Testosterone pellets are typically re-dosed every 3 to 6 months. Timing is individualized based on your labs and symptoms. Is the Virden Method™ FDA approved? The Virden Method™ is a technique for in-office testosterone pellet implantation. Techniques and procedures are not themselves FDA-approved; individual medications are. The compounded testosterone pellets we use are not FDA-approved (see “About the Pellets We Use” above). The Virden Method™ is a trademark of Charles P. Virden, MD, and Amavita is licensed to use the Virden Method™ in the State of Florida through VitalTE Lifesciences Inc. I feel tired but my testosterone is normal. Will TRT help? The evidence does not support testosterone therapy for fatigue in men with normal testosterone levels, and we do not prescribe it for that purpose. Fatigue has many causes — including sleep apnea, depression, thyroid disease, and heart disease — that deserve their own workup.

Para quién es El tratamiento de venas es para personas cuyas venas de las piernas no devuelven bien la sangre — un problema llamado insuficiencia venosa crónica. Usted puede notar: Várices: venas abultadas y retorcidas Dolor, pesadez o pulsación en las piernas, especialmente tras estar de pie Hinchazón de tobillos que empeora durante el día Cambio de color de la piel o picazón cerca del tobillo Una llaga cerca del tobillo que tarda en sanar Todo empieza con un ultrasonido El ultrasonido dúplex venoso mapea qué venas están filtrando y confirma el patrón de reflujo (sangre que fluye hacia atrás) que causa sus síntomas. También descarta un coágulo de sangre. El estudio es rápido, sin dolor y se hace en el consultorio.El ultrasonido decide el tratamiento. Algunos pacientes solo necesitan medias de compresión y seguimiento. Cómo se cierra una vena que filtra Al cerrar la vena enferma, la sangre pasa por venas sanas. Esto reemplaza la antigua cirugía de extirpación de venas. Ablación endovenosa térmica (radiofrecuencia o láser) Cierra la vena enferma desde adentro con energía térmica a través de un pequeño catéter. Cierre venoso no térmico (adhesivo médico o espuma) Cierra las venas sin calor — una opción para pacientes en quienes la ablación térmica es menos adecuada. Qué pasa el día del cierre venoso En el centro de cirugía, con anestesia local Se adormece la piel. Usted está despierto. La mayoría de los pacientes describe solo presión leve. Un catéter muy pequeño Guiándose con ultrasonido, el médico pasa un catéter fino a la vena por un punto de acceso muy pequeño. Se cierra la vena Con calor, o con adhesivo médico o espuma, según lo que convenga a su vena. Usted sale caminando La mayoría de los pacientes camina inmediatamente después del procedimiento y regresa a actividades normales en 24–48 horas. El ejercicio intenso suele reanudarse en una semana. Qué esperar después Es típico tener moretones y sensibilidad durante unos días. La mayoría de los pacientes nota menos pesadez e hinchazón en pocas semanas. La mejora en la cicatrización y el color de la piel puede tardar varios meses. Los resultados varían de una persona a otra. El seguro y el tratamiento de venas La mayoría de los planes principales, incluido Medicare, cubren el cierre venoso cuando hay síntomas (dolor, hinchazón, cambios en la piel) y reflujo documentado por ultrasonido. Los procedimientos puramente cosméticos generalmente no están cubiertos. Nuestro equipo verifica los beneficios antes de programar.Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Vea los planes que aceptamos. Qué traer Una identificación con foto y su tarjeta de seguro Una lista de sus medicamentos actuales con dosis Cualquier resultado o imagen cardiovascular previa (en disco si es posible) Una lista de preguntas o preocupaciones que desee discutir con el Dr. Martinez-Clark Las medias de compresión que ya use, si tiene Ropa suelta y cómoda Preguntas sobre el tratamiento de venas ¿Es doloroso el cierre venoso? El procedimiento se realiza con anestesia local y la mayoría de los pacientes describe solo presión leve. Es típico tener hematomas y sensibilidad durante unos días. ¿Cuánto dura la recuperación? La mayoría de los pacientes camina inmediatamente después del procedimiento y regresa a actividades normales en 24–48 horas. El ejercicio intenso suele reanudarse en una semana. ¿Dónde se hace? El cierre venoso se realiza en el centro de cirugía ambulatoria de amavita, en nuestro consultorio de Kendall. La consulta y el ultrasonido de las venas se hacen en cualquiera de los dos consultorios: Kendall y North Miami Beach. ¿Las várices son solo un problema estético? No. Suelen ser señal de que las válvulas unidireccionales de sus venas están filtrando, causando acumulación de sangre. Sin tratamiento, esto puede llevar a hinchazón, cambios en la piel y úlceras venosas. Vea nuestra página sobre várices. Empiece con un ultrasonido de venas y una respuesta clara. Llame al (305) 249-5666 o deje su número y un coordinador de atención le devolverá la llamada dentro de un día hábil. Verificamos su seguro antes de su visita. La mayoría de los pacientes nuevos son atendidos en 5–7 días hábiles. --- ## Una Herida en la Pierna o el Pie que No Sana URL: https://amavita.health/es/condiciones/herida-que-no-sana/ Piernas y circulación Una herida en la pierna o el pie que no sana Una llaga en el pie, tobillo o parte baja de la pierna que no ha cerrado tras varias semanas es casi siempre un problema de circulación — arterias que no entregan suficiente sangre, venas que no drenan bien, o ambas. Restaurar el flujo le da a la herida una oportunidad real de sanar. Lo primero que debe saber Una herida abierta por más de 4 semanas necesita evaluación vascular — no solo cuidado de heridas. La enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP, o PAD por sus siglas en inglés) y la insuficiencia venosa crónica son las dos causas más comunes. Los tratamientos mínimamente invasivos con catéter buscan restaurar el flujo de sangre para que la herida pueda sanar. Por qué importa Las heridas que no sanan son la causa principal de amputación en Estados Unidos. Una evaluación vascular temprana identifica qué vasos son el problema — y cómo reabrirlos.Para heridas arteriales, restaurar el flujo con angioplastia, aterectomía o stents mejora la probabilidad de cicatrización. Para úlceras venosas, cerrar la vena enferma elimina la presión que mantiene abierta la herida. Síntomas comunes Una llaga en el pie, dedo, tobillo o espinilla que no ha sanado en 4 semanas Frialdad, entumecimiento o color pálido en el pie afectado Dolor en la pierna o pie en reposo, especialmente de noche Rasguños o ampollas que sanan lentamente, particularmente si tiene diabetes Herida cerca del tobillo con piel alrededor marrón o endurecida como cuero (a menudo venosa) Si tiene diabetes o EAP conocida, no espere cuatro semanas. Haga revisar la herida antes. Cómo lo tratamos Evaluación arterial (ITB, ultrasonido dúplex, angiografía) Confirma si una arteria está bloqueada, dónde y qué tan cerrada está — para planificar una intervención dirigida. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/chequeo-de-circulacion-en-las-piernas/ Sobre el chequeo de circulación en las piernas Angioplastia, aterectomía y stents Procedimientos mínimamente invasivos con catéter que restauran el flujo sanguíneo hacia la herida. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/angioplastia-y-stent-en-las-piernas/ Sobre la angioplastia y el stent en las piernas Ablación endovenosa para úlceras venosas Cierra la vena enferma que empuja presión hacia el tobillo, permitiendo que el cuidado de la herida realmente la sane. https://amavita.health/es/servicios/tratamiento-de-varices/ Sobre el tratamiento de várices Preguntas frecuentes ¿Con qué rapidez debo ver a un especialista vascular por una herida en la pierna? Cualquier herida en el pie o la parte baja de la pierna que no haya mostrado clara mejoría en 2–4 semanas debe evaluarse. Si tiene diabetes o EAP conocida, hágase evaluar antes. ¿Trabajan con centros de cuidado de heridas? Sí. Coordinamos con equipos de cuidado de heridas y médicos de atención primaria en todo Miami-Dade para que la evaluación vascular y el cuidado de heridas ocurran en paralelo, no en secuencia. ¿Necesitaré cirugía? La mayoría de los pacientes evita la cirugía abierta. El tratamiento endovascular moderno usa un acceso muy pequeño, del tamaño de un pinchazo, en la muñeca o la ingle, y la mayoría de la gente vuelve a casa el mismo día. ¿El seguro cubre la evaluación? Aceptamos Medicare y la mayoría de los planes de seguro — confirmamos su cobertura antes de la visita. Vea los planes que aceptamos. Haga revisar el flujo de sangre hacia esa herida. Llame al (305) 249-5666 y díganos que tiene una herida que no sana.

This guide walks you through the most common forms, the warning signs, the tests cardiologists use, and how modern treatment can help you live longer and better. What you'll learn What we mean by 'heart disease'Risk factors you can and can't changeWarning signs and symptomsHow cardiologists evaluate your heartThe treatment landscape today What we mean by 'heart disease'‘Heart disease’ is an umbrella term. The most common form is coronary artery disease, in which cholesterol-rich plaque narrows the arteries that feed the heart muscle. When flow is significantly reduced, patients feel chest pressure with exertion (angina); when a plaque ruptures and a clot forms, the result is a heart attack.Other important categories include arrhythmias (electrical problems such as atrial fibrillation), heart-valve disease, cardiomyopathies (diseases of the heart muscle itself), and heart failure — a syndrome in which the heart cannot pump or fill efficiently. Vascular disease outside the heart, especially peripheral artery disease, often coexists and predicts cardiac risk. Risk factors you can and can't changeYou cannot change your age, sex assigned at birth, or family history. What you can influence is substantial: blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, tobacco exposure, sleep quality, physical activity, and dietary pattern.The single most powerful lever for most adults is treating high blood pressure early. Untreated hypertension silently damages arteries, the heart muscle, and the kidneys for years before symptoms appear. Warning signs and symptomsClassic chest pain during exertion is a red flag, but many patients — especially women, older adults, and people with diabetes — present atypically: unusual fatigue, shortness of breath, jaw or arm discomfort, nausea, or lightheadedness.Palpitations that come with dizziness or fainting, or an episode of sudden severe chest pressure lasting more than a few minutes, warrant emergency evaluation. Call 911. Do not drive yourself. How cardiologists evaluate your heartA first visit usually includes a detailed history, physical exam, EKG, and often an echocardiogram to look at the heart's structure and pump function. Depending on your risk, we may recommend a stress test, coronary calcium score, or advanced imaging.The goal is not to order every test — it is to build a picture accurate enough to guide treatment. Good cardiology is as much about ruling problems out as ruling them in. The treatment landscape todayModern therapy blends lifestyle change, medication, and — when needed — procedures. Statins, blood-pressure medications, and newer therapies (including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists in the right patients) dramatically reduce cardiovascular events.When arteries are severely narrowed, minimally invasive catheter-based procedures such as angiography and stenting can restore blood flow with same-day discharge in many cases. Structural procedures (valve repair or replacement) are increasingly done through small incisions or the femoral artery. The most common form is coronary artery disease. Read more on our blocked heart arteries page. When to see a cardiologist Consider scheduling a consultation if any of the following apply. Early evaluation is often simpler, less invasive, and more effective than waiting for symptoms to progress. Chest pain, pressure, or tightness — especially with exertion or shortness of breath. Palpitations, fainting spells, or a heart rhythm that feels irregular. Leg pain when walking, non-healing wounds, or new leg swelling. Family history of early heart disease, or personal history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. You want a proactive, preventive evaluation and a personalized plan.

It's a family of particles that carry fats through your bloodstream, and specific subtypes drive cardiovascular risk far more than the total number on your lab report. Key takeaways LDL cholesterol is the primary lipid target for heart-disease prevention. HDL is protective, but raising it artificially has not been proven to lower risk. ApoB counts the actual atherogenic particles and can reveal hidden risk. Lp(a) is largely genetic — everyone should be tested at least once. The standard lipid panelA basic panel reports total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), and triglycerides. LDL delivers cholesterol to artery walls, where it can accumulate into plaque; HDL helps remove it.Targets are individualized. Someone with prior heart attack needs an LDL far lower than a healthy 30-year-old with no risk factors. Beyond LDL: ApoB and Lp(a)ApoB counts every atherogenic particle in your blood — a more accurate risk measure than LDL alone, especially in patients with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or 'normal' LDL despite events.Lp(a) is an inherited lipoprotein that raises heart-attack and aortic-stenosis risk independently of LDL. It should be measured at least once in a lifetime; most patients never have. What to do about high numbersLifestyle — dietary pattern, weight, exercise, sleep — moves lipids meaningfully but rarely enough on its own for high-risk patients. Statins remain the most evidence-backed medications; newer options (ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, bempedoic acid) provide additional levers when needed.The right treatment intensity depends on your global cardiovascular risk, not any single number. For how we check and manage it in the office, see our high cholesterol page. When to see a cardiologist Consider a cardiology visit if your LDL is above 160 mg/dL, if you have a family history of early heart attack, if you have diabetes or metabolic syndrome, or if you have never had your Lp(a) measured. A cardiologist can integrate lipid data with imaging and family history to build a plan tailored to you.Educational content only — never a substitute for personalized medical advice.

Suelen ser señal de que las válvulas de una sola dirección de las venas de sus piernas están fallando, lo que hace que la sangre se acumule. Sin tratamiento, esto puede llevar a hinchazón, cambios en la piel y úlceras venosas — y muchas veces responde bien al tratamiento moderno mínimamente invasivo. Síntomas comunes Venas abultadas y retorcidas visibles en la pantorrilla o el muslo Dolor, pesadez o pulsación en las piernas, especialmente tras estar de pie Hinchazón de tobillos que empeora durante el día Piernas inquietas de noche o calambres nocturnos Cambios de color en la piel, picazón o una llaga ya sanada cerca del tobillo Por qué importa Las várices son causadas por válvulas defectuosas en las venas de las piernas (reflujo venoso). El nombre médico del problema de fondo es insuficiencia venosa crónica.El reflujo venoso no tratado puede progresar a hinchazón crónica, decoloración marrón de la piel y eventualmente úlceras venosas difíciles de sanar. Cerrar temprano la vena con reflujo busca prevenir esa trayectoria.El cierre venoso moderno se realiza con anestesia local en nuestro centro de cirugía.

They are usually a sign that the one-way valves in your leg veins are leaking, causing blood to pool. Untreated, this can lead to swelling, skin changes, and venous ulcers — and it often responds well to modern, minimally invasive treatment. Common symptoms Bulging, twisted veins visible on the calf or thigh Aching, heaviness, or throbbing in the legs, especially after standing Ankle swelling that gets worse through the day Restless legs at night or nighttime cramps Skin discoloration, itching, or a healed sore near the ankle Why it matters Varicose veins are caused by leaky valves in the leg veins (venous reflux). The medical name for the underlying problem is chronic venous insufficiency.Untreated venous reflux can progress to chronic swelling, brown skin discoloration, and eventually venous ulcers that are difficult to heal. Closing the refluxing vein early is aimed at preventing that trajectory.Modern vein closure is done under local anesthesia at our surgery center. Most patients walk out the same day and return to normal activity within 24–48 hours. Catheter-based vein closure replaces older vein-stripping surgery. How we treat it Venous duplex ultrasound Maps which veins are leaking and confirms the pattern of reflux driving your symptoms. Endovenous thermal ablation (radiofrequency or laser) Closes the diseased vein from the inside with heat energy through a tiny catheter. Non-thermal vein closure (medical adhesive or foam) Closes veins without heat — an option for patients where thermal ablation is less suitable. What a visit looks like, and what insurance covers Our vein treatment page walks through the consultation, the ultrasound, and the day of the procedure.Most treatments are covered by insurance when symptoms are documented on ultrasound.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Frequently asked Are varicose vein treatments covered by insurance? Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover vein closure when there are symptoms (aching, swelling, skin changes) and documented reflux on ultrasound. Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Is vein closure painful? The procedure is done under local anesthesia and most patients describe only mild pressure. Bruising and tenderness for a few days is typical. How long is recovery? Most patients walk immediately after the procedure and return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed within a week. Have your leg veins checked. Call (305) 249-5666 or leave your number and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day.

Minimally invasive treatment for PAD and CVI Our endovascular procedures use small catheter-based access points instead of open surgery. That means most patients go home the same day, return to walking quickly, and avoid the long recovery and scarring of traditional vascular surgery. Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark and his team have performed thousands of peripheral vascular procedures across Miami-Dade County.

Minimally invasive treatment at our surgery center If a procedure is warranted, most vascular treatments are performed at our surgery center through a pinhole — home the same day. Vascular & GAE: Frequently Asked Questions What is peripheral artery disease (PAD) and how is it treated? PAD is a circulatory condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs — most commonly the legs. Untreated, it can lead to claudication (pain when walking), non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, limb loss. We treat PAD with angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting to restore healthy blood flow. What are the warning signs of PAD? Common warning signs include leg cramping when walking, coldness or numbness in a foot, slow-healing sores on the feet or toes, and changes in leg skin color. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an evaluation. What is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)? CVI occurs when leg veins fail to return blood efficiently to the heart, causing swelling, aching, varicose veins, skin discoloration, and venous ulcers. We offer modern catheter-based treatments — including thermal and non-thermal vein closure — that are performed at our surgery center and require minimal downtime. What is endovascular treatment? Endovascular procedures use small catheter-based access points instead of open surgery. Most patients go home the same day, return to walking quickly, and avoid the long recovery and scarring of traditional vascular surgery. What is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for knee pain? GAE is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that treats chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis by blocking the abnormal blood vessels driving inflammation in the knee joint — without surgery, general anesthesia, or knee replacement. Learn more on our dedicated Genicular Artery Embolization page. Who is a candidate for Genicular Artery Embolization? Adults with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis whose pain is not adequately controlled by medication, physical therapy, or injections — and who want to delay or avoid knee replacement — are typically good candidates. A vascular consultation confirms eligibility. How long does recovery from GAE take? GAE is performed as an outpatient procedure with a tiny pinhole access. Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days, with pain relief beginning in 1–4 weeks and continuing to improve over several months. Do you accept my insurance? Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. Concerned about leg pain, swelling, or vein issues? A short vascular evaluation identifies whether PAD, CVI, or another circulation issue is the cause.

When plaque narrows leg arteries — peripheral artery disease (PAD) — the warning is not only about the legs; it is about your entire cardiovascular risk. This guide explains what to watch for, how PAD is diagnosed, and the range of modern, minimally invasive treatments. What you'll learn Your vascular system in plain languageWhat peripheral artery disease isSymptoms most people missHow PAD is diagnosedTreatments — from lifestyle to catheter procedures Your vascular system in plain languageArteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart; veins return it. Problems in either system show up as pain, swelling, wounds, or changes in skin and temperature — and often signal the same underlying process (atherosclerosis) that causes heart attacks and strokes.Because vascular disease is often silent early on, screening matters more than most patients realize — especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a smoking history. What peripheral artery disease isPAD is the buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply the legs. Reduced flow starves muscles of oxygen during activity, causing cramping or fatigue that resolves with rest — a symptom called claudication. Advanced PAD can cause pain at rest, non-healing wounds, or in severe cases, tissue loss.PAD is not just a leg problem. Patients with PAD have a significantly higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Identifying and treating PAD is part of protecting the heart. Symptoms most people missCommon signs include leg or calf pain when walking that improves with rest, cold or discolored feet, hair loss on the lower legs, slow-healing sores, and unexplained leg fatigue. Many patients attribute these to aging and never mention them — until a wound appears.Venous problems present differently: heaviness, aching, visible varicose veins, swelling that worsens by evening, and skin changes around the ankles. How PAD is diagnosedThe first-line test is an ankle-brachial index (ABI), a simple comparison of blood pressure at the ankle and the arm. Ultrasound imaging identifies where narrowings are and how significant they are. When intervention is being planned, catheter-based angiography provides the highest-resolution view.For venous disease, duplex ultrasound maps reflux and clots. These studies are quick, painless, and done in-office. Treatments — from lifestyle to catheter proceduresFoundational therapy is aggressive risk-factor control: smoking cessation, statin therapy, blood pressure and diabetes management, and a structured walking program that genuinely reprograms the muscles' ability to work with limited flow.When lifestyle and medication aren't enough, minimally invasive catheter procedures — angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting — can restore flow through a small puncture in the groin or wrist. Related techniques like genicular artery embolization address chronic knee pain from arthritis by targeting abnormal vessels rather than replacing the joint. For the warning signs and how we treat it, see our peripheral artery disease page. When to see a cardiologist Vascular symptoms are easy to normalize. Getting evaluated early often prevents wounds, hospitalizations, and amputations later. Chest pain, pressure, or tightness — especially with exertion or shortness of breath. Palpitations, fainting spells, or a heart rhythm that feels irregular. Leg pain when walking, non-healing wounds, or new leg swelling. Family history of early heart disease, or personal history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. You want a proactive, preventive evaluation and a personalized plan.

Who it is for Vein treatment is for people whose leg veins are not returning blood well — a problem called chronic venous insufficiency. You may notice: Bulging, twisted varicose veins Aching, heaviness, or throbbing in the legs, especially after standing Ankle swelling that gets worse through the day Skin discoloration or itching near the ankle A sore near the ankle that is slow to heal It starts with an ultrasound Venous duplex ultrasound maps which veins are leaking and confirms the pattern of reflux (backward flow) driving your symptoms. It also rules out a blood clot. The study is quick, painless, and done in the office.The ultrasound decides the treatment. Some patients need only compression stockings and follow-up. How a leaking vein is closed Closing the diseased vein sends blood through healthy veins instead. This replaces older vein-stripping surgery. Endovenous thermal ablation (radiofrequency or laser) Closes the diseased vein from the inside with heat energy through a tiny catheter. Non-thermal vein closure (medical adhesive or foam) Closes veins without heat — an option for patients where thermal ablation is less suitable. What happens on the day of a vein closure At the surgery center, under local anesthesia The skin is numbed. You are awake. Most patients describe only mild pressure. A tiny catheter Using ultrasound to guide it, the doctor passes a thin catheter into the vein through a tiny access point. The vein is closed With heat, or with medical adhesive or foam, depending on what suits your vein. You walk out Most patients walk immediately after the procedure and return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed within a week. What to expect afterward Bruising and tenderness for a few days is typical. Most patients notice reduced heaviness and swelling within a few weeks. Skin healing and discoloration improvements can take several months. Results differ from person to person. Insurance for vein treatment Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover vein closure when there are symptoms (aching, swelling, skin changes) and documented reflux on ultrasound. Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Our team verifies benefits before scheduling.Medicare and most insurance plans accepted — we confirm your coverage before the visit. See the plans we accept. What to bring A photo ID and your insurance card A list of current medications and dosages Any prior cardiovascular test results or imaging (on disc if possible) A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Martinez-Clark Any compression stockings you already wear Loose, comfortable clothing Questions about vein treatment Is vein closure painful? The procedure is done under local anesthesia and most patients describe only mild pressure. Bruising and tenderness for a few days is typical. How long is recovery? Most patients walk immediately after the procedure and return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed within a week. Where is it done? Vein closure is performed at amavita’s ambulatory surgery center, at our Kendall office. Your consultation and vein ultrasound are at either office: Kendall and North Miami Beach. Are varicose veins only a cosmetic problem? No. They are usually a sign that the one-way valves in your leg veins are leaking, causing blood to pool. Untreated, this can lead to swelling, skin changes, and venous ulcers. See our varicose veins page. Start with a vein ultrasound and a clear answer.
