Cardiology and Heart Health in Turkey
Heart and vascular conditions require accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment planning. Istanbul Medical Service assists international patients in accessing cardiologists, cardiovascular specialists, diagnostic facilities and hospitals in Turkey according to their medical needs.
Cardiology Assessment
Patients may seek cardiology evaluation for symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, reduced exercise tolerance or for follow-up of a known cardiovascular condition. Assessment begins with medical history and specialist examination.
Cardiac Diagnostic Services
Depending on clinical findings, evaluation may include electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, ambulatory rhythm monitoring, exercise testing, laboratory studies or cardiovascular imaging. More advanced investigations such as CT angiography, coronary angiography or electrophysiological studies may be considered when clinically appropriate.
Coronary, Valve and Rhythm Disorders
Treatment pathways vary according to diagnosis. Selected patients may require medical management, catheter-based interventions, rhythm procedures, pacemaker or defibrillator therapy, valve interventions or cardiovascular surgery. The treating medical team determines which options are appropriate.
Heart and Vascular Surgery
Conditions involving coronary arteries, heart valves, the aorta or peripheral vessels may require evaluation by cardiovascular surgery. Surgical, endovascular or hybrid approaches may be considered according to anatomy, diagnosis, overall health and specialist assessment.
International Patient Coordination
Istanbul Medical Service can coordinate cardiology consultations, diagnostic examinations, hospital arrangements, second medical opinions, treatment scheduling and related travel logistics for international patients seeking heart and vascular care in Turkey.
