Overview

As a cardiologist and advanced heart failure specialist, I take care of many patients who are awaiting (or have already received) heart transplantation, as well as patients who are being supported by implanted mechanical devices known as VADs (ventricular assist devices). Our ability to support very sick patients has increased dramatically over the past decade, and it is a true privilege to be part of that team here at Duke.

Dr. Holley is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cardiogenic Shock. His top areas of expertise are Heart Failure, Cardiogenic Shock, Atherosclerosis, Pulmonary Edema, and Heart Transplant.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 36 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

I’ve been interested in medicine ever since I was a child. I see medicine as being an ideal opportunity to do something interesting because I don’t think there’s anything more interesting than the human body and fixing it when it’s not working correctly. As the director of Duke’s Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, I see patients in the intensive care unit, but also see patients in the clinic. When I first meet a patient, the most important thing for me is to establish trust and understanding with them. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children, reading and keeping up with Duke sports. Dr. Granger is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cardiogenic Shock. His top areas of expertise are Cardiogenic Shock, Heart Attack, Apoplexy, Arterial Embolism, and Atherectomy.
