Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Services at Northeast Hospital

General Information

At Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital, we are dedicated to providing patient-centered cardiovascular care for you. Our award-winning specialists diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of heart and vascular conditions from preventive care to cardiac emergencies to complex surgical procedures. As the Greater Lake Houston area continues to grow, so does our commitment to growing with the community we serve, so you never have to travel far to receive high-quality care. Utilizing our four cardiac care theaters, our affiliated team of board-certified diagnostic, interventional and electrophysiology cardiologists, as well as cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons, care for patients in our two onsite, integrated cardiac catheterization (cath) labs with advanced technologies and systems, our interventional radiology suite and our newly equipped, “hybrid,” state-of-the-art operating room (OR). Along with a dedicated staff of caregivers, these experienced physicians manage a broad spectrum of heart-related conditions with a combination of prevention, medical treatment and interventional procedures.

Cardiac Surgery

Our affiliated physicians on the cardiovascular team at Memorial Hermann Northeast offer a wide range of interventions and surgical options for heart patients close to home. These now include coronary artery bypass grafting and off-pump coronary artery bypass, as well as valvular heart surgery, such as surgical aortic valve repair or replacement.

Integrated Cardiac Catheterization (Cath) Lab

Our fully equipped, integrated cardiac cath labs make it possible for providers to rapidly assess the next steps for a patient diagnosed with heart disease. The cath lab resembles a small operating room, with a wide range of the latest diagnostic equipment used to perform minimally invasive procedures. Detailed images of procedures may be viewed by the cardiologist from any location.

Imaging and Diagnostics

Surviving a heart attack may depend upon receiving immediate medical attention and appropriate treatment. Patients complaining of chest pain first undergo screening for heart attack symptoms at our Emergency Center. If this evaluation determines the need, they are expedited to the 24/7 STEMI cardiac cath lab, where our advanced technology allows teams to provide a rapid response.
