Arkansas Cardiology and Baptist Health Heart Institute in Little Rock recently opened a cardio-oncology clinic.
Under the leadership of Ramey Marshell, MD, and Stephen Greer, MD, FACC, this clinic focuses on preventing and managing cardiovascular complications among cancer survivors and patients battling the disease. Marshell and Greer created this clinic to form a collaborative relationship made up of a multidisciplinary team of cardiac and cancer specialists such as oncologists, hematologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, and oncology pharmacists.
As cancer therapy has improved, there has been a dramatic increase in cancer-related survival. However, for some, this has come at the cost of either temporary or long-term adverse cardiovascular effects.
The Arkansas Cardiology Cardio-Oncology team offers a fully comprehensive service dedicated to the prevention and management of potential cardiomyopathy/heart failure, hypertensive disorders, cardiovascular complications, arrhythmias, conduction disorders, valvular disorders, myocardial inflammatory conditions, and more.
The clinic is located in Medical Towers II, Suite 600, at 9501 Baptist Health Drive.
