What makes Vertex Heart unique?
As veteran clinicians who have cared for patients with the most dire cardiac conditions, we have learned how vital health preservation is to allowing our patients to live well for as long as possible.
Life is finite for all of us, but we aim to reverse engineer a roadmap to a vibrant, active, and fulfilling aging process.
Vertex Heart Clinic’s philosophy to start with the care of the healthy is one-of-a-kind in Houston. Traditional cardiology practices focus their care on patients afflicted with heart disease. We believe that this is far too late, and we know that we can do better.
