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. His top areas of expertise are Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Failure, Metabolic Syndrome, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), and Heart Bypass Surgery.
