Your heart is in good hands

Heart and vascular disease affects many Bryan-College Station-area families. In fact, coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death in Central Texas. Vascular disease—any condition that affects the blood vessels, arteries and veins of the circulatory system—is also on the rise. In anticipation of this growing trend and as part of our commitment to the Bryan-College Station community, the College Station region of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – College Station is growing our investment in keeping hearts healthy.

Throughout the region, experienced cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, electrophysiologist and interventional cardiologists apply advanced diagnostic testing and digital imaging technology to provide a wide variety of treatment options ranging from minimally invasive interventional procedures to complex cardiovascular and thoracic surgeries.

Please call for more information about the heart and vascular care we offer.

We can treat the following heart conditions

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
  • Arrhythmia
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Congestive heart failure (CHF)
  • Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis—arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels become thick and stiff, which can restrict blood flow to your organs and tissues. Over time, this can lead to the hardening of the walls of your arteries. Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis that refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances within artery walls—commonly referred to as plaque—that can restrict blood flow. These plaques can burst, leading to a blood clot and heart attack. Both can be diagnosed by a heart catheterization.
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Heart attack
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO)” The Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) procedure is a one-time, minimally invasive procedure for people with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem (also known as non-valvular AFib) who need an alternative to blood thinners. The implant fits right into the left atrial appendage (LAA) of the heart, and is designed to permanently close off the LAA and keep blood clots, which may cause stroke, from escaping.
  • Peripheral artery disease
  • Valvular heart disease
