Patient Stories - Heart

Memorial Hermann is one of the world’s leading providers of cardiovascular care, performing more than 50,000 heart procedures annually. This means our patients have access to heart specialists with extensive training and experience in the complete range of cardiac treatments, from interventional cardiology to electrophysiology to complex robotic-assisted procedures.

A dynamic team of cardiologists, surgeons and clinicians work together to develop the most effective treatment plans for our patients. Specially trained nurses, nutritionists and cardiac rehabilitation professionals support physicians and assist patients through recovery and healing. We emphasize nutrition, counseling, exercise programs and smoking cessation plans for our heart patients.

We believe our patients are the best advocates for what we do. We are sharing our heart and vascular patient stories to provide a learning opportunity for others.

Thank you to our patients for sharing their stories.
