The Texas Heart Institute Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center was started in 1965 under the guidance of Dr. Robert Leachman. The fellowship has a rich history of stalwart clinician-educators, such as Dr. Leachman, Dr. Robert Hall, Texas Heart Institute president emeritus Dr. James T. Willerson, and many others, who take tremendous pride in training our fellows. Over the decades, the Texas Heart Institute (THI) cardiology fellowship program has made a name for itself by consistently training outstanding cardiologists who are highly regarded for their clinical skill throughout the cardiology community.
Our 3-year ACGME certified general cardiology fellowship is open to six fellows per year. We also offer advanced subspecialty fellowships in interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, advanced heart failure, and CT/MRI. After successful completion of the THI general cardiology fellowship program, our fellows are given first preference to subspecialty fellowship positions available at our institution.
The institute boasts a robust faculty of over 70 clinical cardiologists within every practice model, including single and multi-subspecialty cardiologists, private, academic and hybrid models. This provides a unique training opportunity for fellows within the program and is a large part of what makes our program outstanding.
Our fellows are also exposed to all of the latest technologies available in cardiovascular care including LVAD’s (both durable and short term percutaneous devices), 3D echo, advanced fluoro-less EP studies utilizing 3D mapping systems, TAVR, and percutaneous left atrial appendage excluder devices, to name just a few.
The Cardiac Society was founded in 1989 to provide an avenue for exchange of ideas relating to the clinical and research activities among the present and former THI cardiology fellows, trainees, and teaching staff of The Texas Heart Institute.
One of our longest-standing research departments, the Cardiovascular Surgery Research Laboratories seek to advance medical knowledge and develop new ways to repair and replace diseased organs to enhance and extend life. Researchers in this department have been involved in the development of nearly every mechanical circulatory support device in use today.
Researchers at The Texas Heart Institute conduct clinical trial studies to test the safety and efficacy of potential new devices, techniques and therapies to treat patients suffering from various cardiovascular issues. Learn more about what clinical trials are and the current studies our researchers are conducting.
