Message from the President

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Georgia Chapter of the Ameri-can College of Cardiology! We are once again delighted to be back at the beautiful Ritz Carlton on Lake Oconee. This is the 10th year here which has helped to make this meeting a great family event, and now a tradition for many of us. The Program Committee has worked hard to develop a cur-riculum encompassing current and relevant topics for your enjoyment.

This year’s Friday Symposium will focus on “Atrial Fibrillation,” includ-ing sessions on lifestyle modification, medical management and ablation therapies.

Saturday will begin with an update from the National ACC by Dr. Rick Chazal, our current ACC President, who will spend most of the weekend with us. We will follow with a multidisciplinary discussion around mitral regurgitation management, with both cardiology and surgical perspec-tives. This should be a lively session!

We will then continue our simultaneous surgical and medical educational tracks on both Saturday and Sunday. All sessions are open to all attendees. Midday on Saturday we will discuss management of severe hyperlipidemia with an emphasis on the newer agents available for therapy.

Saturday evening, in addition to the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. Ken Dooley, we will be entertained by the Joe Gransden Orchestra.

Sunday’s session will start with a discussion of the recently released new biodegradable stent platforms and then will continue with our format of morning breakout sessions, capped by a panel series around how to make appropriate cardiovascular imaging decisions.

As always our goals for the weekend remain:• Provide information that is relevant and practical to the care of our patients.• Create a forum for dialog between fellow ACC members regarding practice issues we face every day.• Develop communication between our members and our industry partners.• Explore the challenges facing us in the new era of healthcare delivery, as we march along the road from

volume to value based services, and understand what the ACC is doing nationally, and what we might be doing locally and statewide.

• Relax with family and friends.

I want to welcome each of you back to our Chapter’s fabulous Annual Meeting and I hope to see as many of you as the Ritz can accommodate. Traditionally, we run out of rooms, so I encourage those of you who plan to attend to register early.

Sincerely,Charles L. Brown III, MD, FACCPresident, GA ACC

Dr. Kenneth Dooley was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He attended St. Michael’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he received a BS degree in Biology. Following his Irish roots and his life’s ambition to be able to help children, he then went to medical school at the National University of Ireland in Galway where he completed his degree with honors. Upon returning to the US, he completed an internship, resi-dency and became Chief Resident at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center in Brooklyn. Under the guidance of Dr. Richard Golinko, he decided to become a Pediatric Cardiologist and from 1972 – 1975 did his fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital.

In July, 1975, Ken was appointed as Director of the Catheterization Laboratory at Egleston Children’s Hospital and to the Pediatric Cardiology Division of the Department of Pediatrics at Emory. In 1982, he was appointed Director of Pediatric Cardiology and established The Children’s Heart Center to focus heart care for children in a single center, which later became known as the Sibley Heart Center.

Throughout his career he has been an active member of many national, regional and local organizations in-cluding the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology and is a fellow in each of these organizations. He has been on the Executive Committee of the AAP (Trea-surer), ACC (CV Council for the Young), Council member of the Georgia Chapter of the ACC and on the Board of Trustees for the AAP and Sibley Heart Center.

He has been active in pediatric research including getting approval of Lasix use in Children, Indomethacin use for closing PDA in infants, Prostaglandin use to maintain PDA in cyanotic heart disease and Synagis for the treatment of RSV in cardiac patients. Throughout his career he has been an active investigator of CHD in children with Down Syndrome and has coauthored multiple articles and book chapters on Down Syndrome.

As well as being a very active member of many hospital and regional committees, he is the father of seven children and now has eighteen grandchildren. After serving as an active physician and member of Egleston and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital Staffs for 40 years, he retired from practice in July, 2015 and has moved to Lake Oconee to improve his golfing skills.
