Department of Cardiology

The Department of Cardiology epitomizes the union of two unique strengths of the Texas Medical Center in caring for cancer and heart patients. We provide the most advanced cardiac care to cancer patients with co-existing heart diseases and are particularly adept at treating cardiovascular complications of cancer and cancer therapies.

Our faculty and staff are at the forefront in developing new diagnostic methods and innovative therapies for cardiovascular manifestations of cancer and cancer treatments. In our laboratories, clinicians and basic scientists work together to advance the frontier of cancer and heart disease research that will benefit our patients of tomorrow. We are a group of dedicated professionals with a passion of caring for our unique patient population.

Heart Success Patient Education Program and the Heart 2 Heart Support Group have earned international attention by developing information and providing emotional support to the patient with the dual challenge of cancer and congestive heart failure.
