    Ganesh Gajanan, MD, FACC, FSCAI, is an Interventional Cardiologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCSF Fresno. Following his medical education in Bangalore, India, he completed his Internal Medicine residency at Abington-Jefferson Health in Philadelphia and fellowships in Cardiovascular Diseases and Interventional Cardiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He later refined his expertise while working at a high-volume cardiology group in Tucson, Arizona, acquiring extensive experience in complex and high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (CHIP), including calcium modification, chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization, and advanced mechanical circulatory support.

    Specializing in high-complexity cases, Dr. Gajanan utilizes advanced techniques such as intracoronary imaging, atherectomy, and a specialized CHIP skillset to ensure precision and success in coronary revascularization for the underserved Central Valley. He also maintains a dedicated clinical focus on the management of cardiogenic shock, emphasizing the rapid optimization of mechanical circulatory support to stabilize hemodynamically compromised patients.

    A committed educator, Dr. Gajanan provides hands-on training to fellows, focusing on simplifying complex interventional techniques into practical clinical skills. A prolific contributor to the academic community, he has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, serves as a peer reviewer for JACC, JSCAI, and the European Heart Journal, and has served as a sub-investigator for pivotal clinical trials like IMPROVE and DEFINE-GPS. At UCSF Fresno, he remains dedicated to mentoring the next generation of cardiologists while advocating for the reduction of cardiovascular health disparities in the community
