Apex Heart & Vascular Center

APEX
Heart & Vascular Center

Board Certified Cardiologist & Vein Specialist located in Houston, Tomball & Cypress, TX


At Apex Heart & Vascular Center, Yasir Akram, MD, MPH, FACC, FSCAI, and our team of experts offer comprehensive care for heart, vascular, and venous problems at our offices in Houston, Tomball, and Cypress, Texas. We take a holistic and integrative approach, focusing on the whole patient to improve or prevent heart and vascular issues.

We diagnose and manage many cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, and varicose veins. And, we use advanced diagnostic tools such as echocardiograms, nuclear stress tests, and vascular ultrasounds to identify core health issues and create an effective treatment plan. 

In addition to diagnosing heart disease and vascular conditions, our team performs interventional procedures like angioplasty and stent placements, improving blood flow through arteries. We also do endovascular vein ablation and varicose vein closure using radiofrequency ablation techniques, the VenaSeal® procedure, and Varithena® chemical ablation. 

Prevention is important at Apex Heart & Vascular Center and we provide evaluations and recommendations for patients with concerns about heart health to stop or delay disease and related health complications.
