Adnan Aslam, MD, FACC, FSCAI, and Roy Norman, DO, lead the highly trained staff and have access to the latest diagnostic tools.
The cardiologists at Northwest Houston Heart Center evaluate symptoms such as chest pain, leg pain, shortness of breath, syncope (fainting), and other indicators of cardiovascular disorders using advanced technologies, including electrocardiography (EKG), nuclear stress testing, and cardiac PET (positron emission tomography).
Cardiac PET scans are fast becoming the gold standard in reliable noninvasive cardiac diagnosis; Northwest Houston Heart Center is one of few practices in the Houston area with its own state-of-the-art cardiac PET scanner. Its cardiac PET laboratory is certified by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL) for the timely and precise diagnosis of heart disease. The practice’s echocardiography lab also has certification from the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL).
Northwest Houston Heart Center specializes in complex cardiovascular interventions using minimally invasive catheterization techniques like balloon angioplasty and stenting, pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, and advanced laser therapies. The cardiologists emphasize early identification of risk factors for heart and circulatory diseases and promote preventive cardiovascular care, which includes offering free vein disease screening.
They also treat a comprehensive range of conditions, including atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD), high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure), varicose veins, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and restless legs syndrome (RLS).
