Anthony J Kanelidis, MD

Anthony Kanelidis, MD, is a board-certified cardiologist dedicated to advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology. With a profound understanding of complex heart diseases, Dr. Kanelidis focuses on providing comprehensive care for patients with genetic cardiomyopathy, heart failure and those requiring heart transplants or left ventricular assist devices (LVAD).

Recognizing that heart disease impacts each individual differently, Dr. Kanelidis is passionate about fostering a supportive and compassionate relationship. He uses a patient-centric approach to care that emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment plans that address his patient’s conditions, symptoms and overall healthcare goals. His expertise spans the full spectrum of heart failure management, including staying at the forefront of advancements in heart disease to deliver the best possible outcomes.

Along with a commitment to his clinical practice, Dr. Kanelidis is also actively involved in research and clinical trials aimed at advancing the field of cardiology. His recent publication helps risk stratify which patients may need urgent heart transplantation or LVAD therapy. He is also conducting a clinical trial for patients undergoing LVAD implantation while proactively protecting the right side of the heart. His work focuses on developing innovative treatments and improving existing patient protocols for managing heart failure, LVAD, and heart transplant. This ongoing devotion to improving heart disease treatment not only enhances his clinical practice, but also contributes to the broader medical community’s understanding of cardiovascular health.
