Background

About Lee S. Marcus

I am a cardiologist that has specialized CHF and circulatory physiology training, and also worked closely in the early stages of the LVAD program, at Columbia University. I completed my cardiology training in at Yale University, and practiced clinically from was active as a primary and secondary investigator in multiple phase II and phase clinical trials, and was the founder and director of the Heart Failure Unit and program at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was listed in the Castle Connolly America's Top Doctors directory from 2006-2009, was Board President of the Dutchess, Ulster county chapter of the AHA, in addition to serving many other leadership roles. I am a passionate and persuasive speaker who is widely viewed as an invaluable resource to my peers. In 2014 I completed a Master's Degree in Finance as Valedictorian, while working as a healthcare analyst for a well-known investor relations consulting firm. I remain active in clinical cardiology in my Preventive Cardiology practice, both in-person, and via telemedicine. I have dedicated my practice to the prevention, early detection, and aggressive treatment of cardiovascular disease. Disease based medicine is expensive and inefficient, and I think that there is a better way. By teaching my patients to invest in their health pro-actively and identifying disease states before they become clinically manifested, I help guide my patients on a path to a happier and fuller life. The approaches I use are evidence based, and integrate the most advanced noninvasive diagnostics and testing with the most appropriate therapeutic interventions. Each patient is unique, and treatment approaches are tailored to each specific clinical scenario. My practice, however, is not limited to Preventive Cardiology, and also covers all aspects of general clinical Cardiology. I was recently named Medical Director of Telecardiology at Specialist Direct, Inc. which will permit me to bring unique proactive testing to a larger group of patients through our extensive National network of Board-Certified Cardiologists.
