Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular disease: it is one of the deadliest silent killers of Americans.
Nearly a half-million Americans lose their lives to this disease each year.
Cardiovascular disease affects the heart and/or blood vessels (arteries
and veins) and develops when cholesterol, fatty material, and calcium
build up in the arteries. When this occurs in the arteries that supply
the heart, this build-up or plaque causes the arteries to narrow, so that
oxygen delivery to the heart is reduced. The reduction in oxygen to the
heart can create chest pain, also called angina. This can lead to very
serious health problems.
Harlingen Medical Center is home to a number of highly skilled and experienced
Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists, and Cardiothoracic Surgeons, who
can help create a path to health and wellness like no other hospital in
the Rio Grande Valley.
The Cardiovascular Center at Harlingen Medical Center is paving the way
for successful treatment of patients across South Texas. We specialize

as well as advanced cardiac and vascular interventions, such as angioplasty,
