Research Keeps Doctors Abreast of New Treatment Options

The doctors at The Texas Heart Institute Center for Cardiovascular Care work hard to stay abreast of the best available treatments and are often consulted for their expert opinions. Our connection to The Texas Heart Institute and its research gives us an edge. Many of the physicians and surgeons with The Center are active in research and publish their findings and opinions in the medical literature. In 2022, 46 research papers and editorials were published by our doctors in medical journals.
