About of Peter Kanellakis

Peter Kanellakis is a cardiologist based in Melbourne, working from 75 Commercial Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia.


Peter looks after people with heart and blood vessel problems, and also supports patients who are dealing with serious medical issues where the heart needs close attention. In many cases that means careful checks, practical advice, and keeping treatment plans clear and easy to follow.


Heart conditions are a big part of his day-to-day work. This can include atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up in the arteries, and heart attacks, where quick assessment and good follow-up really matter. At times, patients also need help when there are complications linked to tissue damage and other health challenges.


Peter also works with patients facing acute myeloblastic leukaemia, including acute myeloblastic leukaemia with maturation and acute myeloblastic leukaemia without maturation. When someone is managing leukaemia, the body can be under a lot of stress. That’s why the heart and circulation may need monitoring alongside the main treatment. Managing risk during these periods is often about staying on top of symptoms and making sure nothing gets missed.


Care doesn’t stop at the appointment. Over time, Peter helps patients understand what the results mean and what the next steps usually look like. He focuses on steady, sensible planning, especially when people are balancing more than one condition at once.


Peter also provides input in situations where surgery has been involved, including splenectomy, and helps coordinate heart-related care that fits around the rest of a patient’s treatment. If you’re looking for a calm, grounded cardiology appointment in central Melbourne, Peter is there to help you make sense of what’s going on and take the next step with confidence.
