Lance Gould, MD, holds the Distinguished University Chair in Cardiovascular Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) based on 48 years of experience in clinical cardiac practice and research. He pioneered all the current concepts and imaging tests, quantitative angiograms and coronary pressure measurements for defining severity of coronary artery disease, now used world wide electively for coronary artery disease.
Accordingly, he leads the world on imaging coronary blood flow using technology he pioneered called positron emission tomography (PET) as the basis for predicting high future risk of heart attack or death in individuals, and whether stents or bypass surgery may reduce this risk; or whether intense healthy living and medical treatment may stop or reverse coronary artery disease.
His leading technology developments and 48 years of clinical experience bring unique clinical insight, judgment and professional care for objective, optimal and personalized treatment opinions for individual patients, especially for those with angiogram, stents or bypass surgery recommendations including the world leading definitive imaging and experience that he provides.
Dr. Gould is the medical and executive director of the Weatherhead PET Imaging Center for Preventing and Reversing Atherosclerosis at UTHealth, serving patients and physicians in the United States and around the world.

I have to say that Memorial Hermann Should follow Dr. Gould and his team as a example how doctors should keep patient's health as their major concern. Because, I know for experience a lot of doctors from your institution don't meet the requirements of the Hippocratic Oath!
He knows what he's doing.
