McLaren Northern Michigan promotes heart health awareness

PETOSKEY — Maintaining heart health often requires a proactive multi-pronged approach.

Dr. Siddharth Gandhi, an interventional cardiac specialist at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, specializes in addressing clogged arteries in the heart. His patient-centered approach prioritizes compassionate care and utilizes preventive, diagnostic, and interventional therapies to enhance patient well-being.

Gandhi's clinic often sees patients complaining of symptoms such as chest discomfort and heaviness, especially at rest and during exercise. He emphasized the importance of being aware of these symptoms and seeking immediate medical attention, especially if they persist or are accompanied by additional signs such as sweating, nausea, or vomiting.

“If the symptoms only occur during exercise, those are the people we want to come into the office,” Gandhi said.
