CVRI Director: Xander Wehrens, MD, PhD The Cardiovascular Research Institute is built on a legacy of cardiovascular research. Today, physicians and scientists of the CVRI at Baylor College of Medicine continue to provide state-of-the-art medical care and perform groundbreaking research in cardiovascular research and surgery. The CVRI serves as an avenue for increased collaborative research efforts
, development of cutting edge cardiovascular clinical technologies and enhanced CV educational programs. The CVRI does not offer medical advice via email, Facebook, and other social media in the absence of an existing physician-patient relationship. Your medical question has not been analyzed by our medical staff. Electronic communication cannot substitute for a medical evaluation in which the physician takes a history from a patient, conducts a physical examination and orders and interprets the appropriate diagnostic tests. It is unwise and unprofessional for a physician to provide medical advice without the information gained from such an evaluation. If you believe you require medical care from a physician, for appointments, call 713-798-7600. For clinical trials, please visit our clinical research studies site: http://www.bcm.edu/clinicalstudies/. If you need emergency care call 911.
