Angel T. Chan, MD, PhD - MSK Cardiologist

Midtown East has its share of specialists, but few blend academic rigor with clinical practice quite like a musculoskeletal cardiologist. That’s the niche Angel T. Chan, MD, PhD fills at 160 E 53rd St, where the focus narrows to how the heart interacts with bones, joints, and connective tissue—an intersection often overlooked in standard cardiac care.

Patients here typically arrive after referrals for complex arrhythmias tied to structural anomalies, or for pre-surgical cardiac clearance when orthopedic procedures loom. The practice handles stress echocardiography, ambulatory rhythm monitoring, and tailored pharmacologic management, all while keeping the musculoskeletal system’s demands in clear view. It’s a rare lens on cardiology, one that can shift treatment plans for athletes, dancers, or anyone whose movement patterns tax the heart differently.

Reaching the office is straightforward; call (347) 798-9155 to schedule or clarify which records to bring. The address anchors the block between Third and Lexington Avenues, a stretch dense with medical offices yet easy to navigate once you step off the 6 train at 51st Street. No need to guess the entrance—street signage is visible from the corner.
