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.
