Yesterday, Dr. Eduardo Flores had the privilege of speaking at Harlingen Medical Center in honor of Heart Month, sharing an important message: Lowering LDL cholesterol lowers cardiac events. ❤️

LDL is often called the “bad” cholesterol because elevated levels can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries. Over time, that buildup increases the risk of heart attacks. The good news? Lowering your LDL can significantly reduce that risk.

Here are heart-healthy ways to lower LDL cholesterol:
-Choose heart-smart foods
-Stay active
-Maintain a healthy weight
-Avoid smoking
-Take medications as prescribed
-Know your numbers

Prevention is powerful. By lowering LDL today, we help reduce heart attacks tomorrow, and potentially prevent the need for procedures down the road.

Your heart deserves better.
And we’re not just talking about your ex. 😉

All jokes aside, your heart works for you every second of every day. It deserves attention, prevention, and care. Take time to check your blood pressure, move your body and schedule an appointment with your cardiologist.

Continuing the celebration of Heart Month, last night’s Heart Reunion at Harlingen Medical Center was a meaningful celebration of life and healing. ❤️

Dr. Deanna Yamamura, Dr. Eduardo Flores, and Dr. James Stone, were reunited with three patients whose lives were forever impacted by the care they received. Seeing physicians and patients reconnect, hearing firsthand stories, and recognizing the team behind it all was a powerful reminder of why heart care is so personal.

We are grateful to the Cath Lab and ICU nursing teams who were also part of each patient’s journey and to Harlingen Medical Center for hosting such a special event in recognition of Heart Month!

February is Heart Month! A time to get educated and take action about your heart health. ❤️

Last night, our very own Nurse Practitioner, Martina Briseño-Lucio led a Heart Talk at Harlingen Medical Center, sharing critical guidance on what to do when experiencing chest pain. Education and awareness save lives, and we’re proud to be part of these important conversations in our community.
If you or someone near you has chest pain:
• Stop what you’re doing and rest
• If pain lasts more than a few minutes, call 911 immediately
• Do not drive yourself to the hospital
• Take aspirin only if advised and not allergic
• Don’t ignore symptoms, early action can be lifesaving

Happy New Year! We are reflecting on a year filled with growth and meaningful milestones. ❤️

From the Grand Opening of our Brownsville clinic and the addition of Cardiac CT in Weslaco, to a new partnerships with SpaceX, celebrating our dedicated staff, and seeing our cardiologists represent TX Heart at the South Texas Interventional Cardiologist Convention, this year was one to remember. 🎉

Thank you to our patients, partners, and team for an incredible year. We’re excited for what’s ahead in 2026!
