Anu Chirala, MD, FACC
Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine
Board-certified in Cardiovascular Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, Dr. Anu Chirala brings 3 decades of experience to her patients in Morgan Hill, California. Her approach combines advanced cardiac imaging, sleep apnea evaluations, and the latest in cardiovascular diagnostics to deliver care that is both personalized and compassionate.
Services include state-of-the-art heart failure and coronary artery disease management, vascular medicine, stroke prevention, pacemaker and ICD management, sleep apnea evaluation and treatment, Chronic Care Management (CCM), and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). She works closely with Stanford specialists across cardiac surgery, electrophysiology, and heart failure programs to ensure every patient receives a fully coordinated plan of care.
A recognized expert in the link between sleep apnea and heart disease, she has made this a cornerstone of her practice — and for good reason. Sleep apnea is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions directly tied to stroke, hypertension, and irregular heart rhythms. What sets this practice apart is the ability to evaluate and treat both sleep and heart health under one roof, a combination that is rare in the South Bay. Using convenient home sleep testing and individualized treatment plans, patients get answers faster and avoid the need for multiple specialists. Certain communities, including South Asians, face higher risk even at lower body weights — making proactive, culturally informed screening a priority here.
She also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine and Medical Director of South Bay Cardiovascular Center, a trusted practice serving the community for 3 decades.
As co-founder of InstaMD, she has extended her commitment to patient care into the digital health space — developing remote monitoring solutions that reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and keep patients healthier between visits.
Honored with the Presidential Medal from the President of India, she is a proud member of the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association (AHA), American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, and the Santa Clara County Medical Association. She also volunteers her expertise to serve underserved communities in both the US and India.
