Referral information

[Tina__0__0]

  I am a nurse in Milwaukee and would like to bring a friend of mine to Cleveland for a cardiac evaluation. The purpose of the visit would be to evaluate his current therapies and develop a plan geared towards prevention of further disease. I have many ties in Cleveland but they are primarily in the neurosciences so I am asking for guidance re: who would be the most appropriate person at CCF to see--preferrably someone with a research interest in atherosclerosis.
  A brief history:  52 yo man 6' 190# non-smoker (quit smoking a pipe prior
                    to first surgery)
                    CABG Summer 1997, Sept. 1998 (several angioplasties
                    between the two surgeries)--angina but no documented MI
                    to my knowledge
                    Lipid profile wnl
                    Bp wnl
                    Meds: Zocor, ASA, B-complex, MVI, FESO4 (mild anemia),
                    Doxycycline (chronic Lyme Disease)
                    PMH: Lyme Disease, GI Bleed (? secondary to NSAID)
  Please let me know if there is any other information that you would need to help guide us to the appropriate health-care professional.
  Thank you.
