Lipid Management and Stroke Prevention with Dr. Patrick Kee

Stroke Busters is a podcast presented by the Institute for Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease at UTHealth Houston in Houston, TX. The purpose of this podcast is to bring you the latest news and discussion in stroke care, research, community, and academia.

Today’s guest is Dr. Patrick Key, a non-invasive board-certified clinical cardiologist with clinical interests in clinical lipidology, preventive cardiology and non-invasive cardiovascular imaging. His Ph.D. research focuses on the metabolism of high-density lipoproteins (aka good cholesterol). He has an active research program in molecular imaging of atherosclerosis and targeted drug delivery using novel nanoparticles and intravascular devices. He is a member of the National Lipid Association and is up to date with the contemporary management of various lipid disorders. He runs a Level 2 Lipid Clinic and Preventive Cardiology Clinic at the UT Professional Building.

Dr. Kee joined us for Stroke Grand Rounds and stuck around to record this episode with one of our Vascular Neurology Fellows, Jerome Jeevarajan to answer some more questions, so that we can share more of his insight and research.
