About

Dr. Christopher Albert Latour, MD, is a cardiovascular doctor board certified in Cardiovascular Disease and Internal Medicine. He trained at LSU Health - School of Medicine and practices at Crescent City Physicians and Ridgelake Health Center, where he speaks English.

Dr. Latour specializes in Heart and Vascular Care, treating conditions such as congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, hypertension and peripheral vascular disease. His diagnostic procedures include electrocardiograms, transthoracic echocardiograms, lipid panels and various blood tests to assess heart and metabolic function. He also performs minimally invasive heart valve surgery, including Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR/TAVI), and manages abnormal veins through ablation and sclerotherapy. Dr. Latour believes patient care is a team experience built on good communication, and he values his patients' input in their treatment decisions, always putting their needs first.
