Award-winning, innovative care at Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital includes a cardiac catheterization lab and accredited chest pain center.

New Cardiac Catheterization Lab

Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital has the medical expertise and the advanced technology to provide fast, accurate diagnosis of coronary artery blockages, close to home.

Our integrated cardiac catheterization lab lets patients know if they have heart disease that needs specialized treatment. Cardiologists and staff will benefit from its streamlined data, easy access to precise relevant images and information and exceptional diagnostic and therapeutic imaging tools. And, your physician will have the capability to view these images from anywhere in the world.

If a higher level of care is needed, working together with a team of dedicated cardiologists, Memorial Hermann Katy and the Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute-Memorial City provide comprehensive cardiac care to Katy. This collaboration means Katy patients now have seamless access to award-winning cardiovascular care at the Heart & Vascular Institutes. Heart attack patients can be stabilized at Memorial Hermann Katy and quickly transported via Memorial Hermann Life Flight® to Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center.

The Cath Lab is located on the first floor near the Emergency Center and accredited Chest Pain Center.

To schedule a procedure, call 281-644-7222.

Accredited Chest Pain Center
When chest pain is the symptom and a heart attack is a possibility, speed, teamwork, training and expertise can make all the difference in the outcome. When a heart attack strikes, time is muscle. The faster cardiac patients are treated, the more promising their prospects for long-term quality of life.

Our Chest Pain Center is accredited as a Chest Pain Center by the Society of Chest Pain Centers. The designation recognizes that the hospital’s physicians, staff and processes meet Society of Chest Pain Center’s stringent criteria.

Our Chest Pain Center assesses and treats all categories of chest pain patients, from low-risk to serious heart attacks. Patients receive clot-busting drug treatment an average of 19 minutes after arriving at the hospital. When appropriate, the Center will transfer patients to a hospital with a comprehensive heart program, such as nearby Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute-Memorial City.
