The Division of Cardiology continues to grow rapidly, adding new faculty and programs, while maintaining the commitments to outstanding patient care, education and research.  The Division recently recruited Eric R. Powers, M.D., to head the Acute Coronary Syndrome center. This program is dedicated to providing rapid access and treatment of acute myocardial infarction and other unstable coronary conditions, development of innovative technology and research of new therapies.  Last year the Society of Chest Pain Centers granted accreditation to the MUSC Chest Pain Center. The Women’s Heart Program is a comprehensive clinical program based out of the MUSC Cardiology office in West Ashley.  This program is being developed under the leadership of Drs. Marian Taylor and Pamela Morris.  In addition to noninvasive diagnostic services and cardiac care, comprehensive medical care for women will be provided, including cholesterol and hypertension management, treatment of diabetes and other endocrinology disorders, and gynecologic services. The Prevention and Cardiac Rehabilitation Program continues to grow rapidly.  David Gregg, M.D. was recently recruited to establish the Adult Congenital Heart Program, which is a multidisciplinary program with Adult Cardiology, Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery.
