Cardiology

At Medical City Plano, we specialize in comprehensive cardiovascular care—from diagnosis to treatment and recovery. Since 1987, our board-certified cardiologists have been serving the Plano community with advanced heart and vascular services.

• Aortic diseases (aneurysm, dissection, stenosis)
• Acute myocardial infarction
• Advanced heart failure
• Cardiogenic shock
• Cardiomyopathy
• Coronary artery disease
• Heart arrhythmia
• Heart attack
• Heart transplant
• Heart valve disease
• Pulmonary hypertension

Our specialists use cutting-edge technology to diagnose and monitor heart conditions:

• 3D echocardiogram
• Cardiac CT and MRI
• Electrocardiogram (EKG)
• Stress testing
• Transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiograms
• Vascular ultrasound

We’re proud to be accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission in echocardiography, reflecting our commitment to quality and patient safety.

As Collin County’s only Level I Trauma Center, we deliver rapid, life-saving treatment for cardiac emergencies. Our team works closely with EMS to activate care before patients arrive, consistently beating national standards for STEMI (heart attack) treatment—also known as door-to-balloon time.

If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Medical City Plano is proud to be recognized as a Platinum Level Center of Excellence by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) the highest international honor for ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) therapy.

ECMO is one of the most advanced forms of life support, used for patients experiencing severe cardiac or respiratory failure. It temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs, allowing them to rest and heal while maintaining oxygenation and circulation.

ECMO services we provide

• Veno-arterial (VA) ECMO: Supports both heart and lung function, often used in cases of cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest.
• Veno-venous (VV) ECMO: Supports lung function only, typically used for severe respiratory failure such as ARDS.
• Bridge-to-recovery or transplant: ECMO can stabilize patients while awaiting heart or lung transplantation.
• Post-cardiotomy support: Used after complex cardiac surgeries when the heart needs additional support to recover.
• ECPR (Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): Combines traditional CPR with ECMO for patients in cardiac arrest who do not respond to standard resuscitation. ECPR can significantly improve survival and neurological outcomes when initiated rapidly.

Our ECMO program is distinguished by:

• 24/7 access to a multidisciplinary ECMO team
• Advanced training and protocols for critical care staff
• Evidence-based outcomes and continuous quality improvement
• Integration with trauma, burn, cardiac surgery, and intensive care services

We offer minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures for faster recovery and less discomfort:

• Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): Opens blocked coronary arteries to restore blood flow
• Transradial approach (TRA): Accesses the heart via the wrist for reduced complications
• Ventricular assist devices (VADs): Supports heart function during critical events or as a bridge to transplant

Located on the ground floor of Medical City Plano’s cardiology unit (north entrance by the ER), our outpatient clinic provides personalized care for heart failure patients.

Accredited by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, our program helps patients recover from heart surgery, heart attacks, and heart failure.

Mended Hearts at Medical City Plano offers heart-healthy education, hosts speakers and provides access to volunteers who visit patients after their heart event to offer emotional support.

As the only chapter of the Mended Hearts national organization in Collin County, we invite North Texas cardiac patients and their families to attend this cardiology support group.

Mended Hearts meets the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the second-floor classrooms at Medical City Plano. For more information, please call (214) 473-7675.
