Dr. Brandy Patterson
Overview
I became a cardiologist because I wanted to be excited about coming to work each day. Every day, I am able to have a positive impact on someone's life, form relationships, and make someone feel better. Heart disease remains the number one killer of all Americans, and I would like to change that. I practice general cardiology, women's heart health, and cardiac care for cancer patients. I see patients for coronary artery disease, heart attacks, post coronary stent bypass surgery, coronary artery bypass surgery, heart murmurs, palpitations, and rhythm disturbances. I enjoy spending time with my family, dancing in my kitchen, golfing, hiking, biking, tennis, exercising, and living life to its fullest.

Duke Cardiology At Croasdaile
I am a cardiologist trained and experienced in preventive cardiology. I have served as the medical director of the Duke Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (formerly DUPAC) since 1994. I specialize in the prevention and treatment of heart disease risk factors before and after cardiac disease develops. I direct a program that uses the principles of balancing energy intake and expenditure to treat heart disease and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. I also have an active practice for assessment and advice for the older athlete who wants to improve performance – whether he or she has heart disease or not. My research is directed at defining the best exercise regimen for the most benefit. Dr. Kraus is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Metabolic Syndrome.

Duke Cardiology Arringdon
My role in cardiology at Duke has been in the prevention and management of advanced cardiovascular disease symptoms in my patients. In the area of prevention, I specialized in cholesterol treatment and specifically in the management of statin medications especially for those individuals who feel they are intolerant. My practice also has a focus on patients with difficult-to-control hypertension, hypertension medication intolerance, difficult-to-manage congestive heart failure, and problems with heart failure medications. My newest role in the clinic is as the director of Outpatient Services for our practice. Our practice-based goals are to make sure everyone who sees a Duke cardiologist leaves on the best therapy for their disease based on current evidence and the individual's ability to tolerate and benefit from that treatment.
