Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 cause of death in both the United States and the world. Several factors contribute to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in patients. These factors are either natural factors (non-modifiable) like age, sex, genetics, or modifiable factors like diet, and lifestyle. Here at The Woodlands Cardiovascular Center, our goal is to provide a comprehensive approach to both the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
