Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States — but it's also one of the most preventable. At West Houston Heart Center, Dr. Humayun Naqvi, MD, FACC, and our care team help patients throughout West Houston, Katy, Memorial, and the Energy Corridor identify heart disease risk early, often years before symptoms appear.
Preventative cardiology isn't just for patients with a known heart condition. It's for anyone who wants to understand their risk and take action while there's still time to change the outcome.
Many forms of heart disease develop silently. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and early arterial plaque buildup often produce no symptoms until a heart attack or stroke occurs. Regular cardiac risk screening allows us to catch these warning signs early and build a personalized plan to protect your heart.
You may benefit from a preventative cardiology evaluation if you:
A detailed evaluation of your personal and family history, lifestyle, and risk factors to calculate your long-term cardiovascular risk.
Beyond a standard cholesterol panel, we offer advanced lipid testing to identify hidden risk factors that routine bloodwork can miss.
Ongoing monitoring and treatment plans for hypertension, a leading contributor to heart attack and stroke.
Non-invasive imaging to detect early plaque buildup in the arteries — often before any symptoms develop.
Personalized guidance on nutrition, exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation tailored to your cardiac risk profile.
For qualifying patients, we offer at-home monitoring of blood pressure and other key metrics, giving our care team real-time insight between visits.
Your first preventative cardiology visit includes a thorough review of your medical and family history, a physical exam, and a discussion of your personal risk factors. Based on your results, Dr. Naqvi will recommend any additional testing and build a prevention plan specific to your health goals — whether that means lifestyle changes, medication management, or closer monitoring.
West Houston Heart Center is proud to provide advanced, personalized preventative cardiology care to patients throughout West Houston and the surrounding communities, including Katy, Memorial, the Energy Corridor, and Cypress. Dr. Naqvi brings board-certified cardiology expertise with a focus on catching heart disease before it starts.
Don't wait for symptoms to take action. Schedule a preventative cardiology evaluation with West Houston Heart Center today.
Most patients benefit from a baseline cardiac risk assessment starting at age 40, or earlier if you have risk factors like family history, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
Please bring a list of current medications, any recent lab results, and your family history of heart disease if available.
Coverage varies by plan. Our team is happy to help verify your benefits before your visit — just give us a call.
