Cardiovascular Endocrinology
Robert M. Carey, MD, MACP
David A. Harrison III Distinguished Professor of Medicine
Dean, Emeritus, and University Professor
University of Virginia School of Medicine
E-mail: rmc4C@virginia.edu
Clinical Activities: Dr. Carey provides clinical care in general endocrinology, cardiovascular endocrinology, adrenal disease and hypertension. A nationally recognized expert in high blood pressure, Dr. Carey provides a state-of-the-art approach to blood pressure problems, including testing for mutations in genes causing hypertension. Special areas of clinical interest include primary (essential) hypertension, disorders of the renin-angiotensin system, primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, and renal vascular hypertension. Dr. Carey has special expertise in fluid and electrolyte disorders, Cushing’s syndrome and adrenal insufficiency. In addition to high blood pressure, Dr. Carey provides a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular risk, including lipid disorders, the insulin resistance syndrome and diabetes mellitus.
Dr. Carey works with a diabetes educator (Katty Davis) in the care of diabetes, and provides nutritional , exercise and other lifestyle recommendations that reduce cardiovascular risk. Dr. Carey’s clinic meets Wednesdays
Research Interests: Hormonal control of blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte disorders, and kidney function.
Anthony McCall, M.D. Ph.D.
James M. Moss Professor of Internal Medicine
E-mail: alm3j@virginia.edu
Clinical activities: Dr. McCall's High Risk Diabetes and Kidney Disease clinic meets on Friday mornings in the Kidney Clinic. His Diabetes and Cardiovascular Clinic meets on Thursday mornings at Northridge, Suite 201. The Diabetes and Cardiovascular Clinic will provide comprehensive care for people who have diabetes and cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular risk factors. Evaluation and treatment of diabetes/the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease and its risk factors will be provided by a team of health care professionals including a cardiologist (Dr. Coleen McNamara), a diabetes specialist (Dr. Anthony McCall), registered dietitians providing medical nutrition therapy (Laura Knotts and Katherine Brooks), a certified diabetes educator (Rosemary Ferguson) and cardiovascular nurses (Cherie Chaney and Anne Hedelt). It includes state of the art laboratory testing of cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes, medical care for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, guidance about safe and effective use of nutritional supplements/vitamins, lifestyle counseling in the areas of diet, exercise and the control of cardiovascular risk factors.
For further information regarding the High Risk Diabetes and Kidney Disease Clinic or the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Clinic, contact 243-9373.
