Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Siddharth Gandhi: Prioritizing Preventive and Diagnostic Therapies for Heart Health

Dr. Siddharth Gandhi, a skilled interventional cardiologist at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, takes a compassionate approach to treating blockages in the heart’s arteries. He emphasizes the importance of preventive, diagnostic, and interventional therapies to improve his patients’ well-being. Patients often experience symptoms such as chest discomfort or heaviness during rest or exertion. Gandhi encourages patients to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms persist or are accompanied by additional signs such as sweating, nausea, or vomiting.

Regular monitoring and proactive management of risk factors are crucial for maintaining heart health. Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, maintaining a healthy BMI, and engaging in regular exercise are essential elements of a heart-healthy lifestyle. Gandhi stresses the importance of annual checkups with a primary care physician to assess cardiovascular health and identify potential problems early on. By staying informed and actively participating in their own health care, individuals can take proactive steps to prevent heart disease and maintain optimal well-being.

To promote cardiovascular fitness and overall health, Gandhi advises patients to prioritize physical activity such as walking, cycling or aerobic exercise. For more information on heart health and preventative measures, individuals should consult with their primary care physicians and healthcare providers.
