Dr Scott Murray Dr Scott W Murray MBChB, BSc, MRCP, MD Consultant Cardiologist and Clinical Lead for Preventive Cardiology Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital NHS Trust Scott first graduated from Glasgow University in 1999 with a First Class Honours BSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine. His initial BSc research work was presented at the American Heart Association and involved BNP and ACE genotype work in Athletic LVH and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. After completing his medical degree and house officer years in Glasgow, he made the jump to Liverpool and became an honorary Scouser. During training in General Medicine and Cardiology, he specialised in Interventional Cardiology and in particular intra-vascular imaging (IVUS) in stable and unstable coronary artery disease. He spent short periods at The Thoraxcentre in Rotterdam and in Virgina, USA trying to use intra-vascular ultrasound and Cardiac CT to hunt down the 'vulnerable plaque'. This work led to numerous publications, awards and the post-graduate MD degree from The University of Liverpool. Having spent 10 years focussed on the vulnerable coronary plaque and despite stenting many along the way; it was always after the major event had occurred. As a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Scott became disillusioned with the inverse focus of Cardiology and the current paradigms. Rather bravely, he decided to give up his stent habit to campaign and work towards a comprehensive CVD prevention and rehabilitation strategy for the city of Liverpool. He is also now the president-elect of the British Association of Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR). Other sessions Dr Scott Murray is participating in |
