Louis A. Cannon, MD, FACA, FCCP, FACC, FACP has been a practicing cardiologist since 1991. In 1998 he co-founded and served as president of the Michigan CardioVascular Institute in Saginaw, Michigan. In 2004 he accepted a position as the Program Director of the new Northern Michigan Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute and joined Petoskey Cardiology’s private practice. In addition, Dr. Cannon serves as President of the Cardiac and Vascular Research Center of Northern Michigan, bringing over two decades of research experience using cutting edge technologies to treat cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Cannon graduated from Wright State School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio with an honorary Alpha Omega Alpha degree in 1984. He did his residency training in Akron, Ohio in a combined Internal/Emergency medicine program, becoming board certified in both. He then completed an Interventional Cardiology fellowship at the University of Cincinnati in 1991.

Dr. Cannon is a recognized leader in cardiovascular research and development. His current national (medical) research focuses on drugs which reduce blockages from forming inside heart stents and the use of ultrasound to break up clots. The research he brings to Petoskey includes the use of ultrasound to increase blood flow through arteries which are totally blocked, drugs that may reverse arterial blockages, and filter like devices to remove clots, among others. He is excited about the opportunities for his patients to gain access to the world’s best technologies available for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Cannon has been issued two U.S. medical patents in the field of cardiovascular treatment and was listed in the United States Top 100 Cardiovascular Specialists/Programs (Money Magazine, 2003).
