Cardiology - Cardiovascular Diseases
At the Cardiology Clinic, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, service is provided by our professional team at any time of the day. In Elit Istanbul Medical Center Cardiology Clinic, which provides health services at international standards with its academic physician staff, advanced technological devices are used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases within the field of cardiology, and world developments in this field are followed and applied.
The incidence of heart diseases, which are generally manifested by various symptoms such as pain in the chest, burning or pressure complaints, palpitations, gas complaints, shortness of breath, feeling of fatigue, and rarely stomach or back pain, increases every year in the world and in our country. There are many reasons for heart diseases triggered by changing living conditions and habits.
Inactivity and changes in eating habits are the most important factors in the recent increase in cardiovascular occlusion.
Heart diseases can be seen at all ages, from very young ages to very old ages. Therefore, it is of great importance to pay attention to the factors that negatively affect heart health at all ages and to undergo health checks at regular intervals.
Interventional Cardiology
It is vital to intervene quickly and correctly in heart diseases. Aware of this necessity, Elit Istanbul Medical Center Cardiology Clinic has a staff specialized in emergency intervention 24 hours a day. Interventional cardiology applications, which allow non-surgical treatment of heart diseases, are carried out at world standards by our professional team in the Cardiology Clinic of our contracted hospitals. Percutaneous Coronary Interventions such as coronary angiography, angioplasty, coronary stent, balloon and valvuloplasty, permanent pacemaker implantation, and electrophysiology are included in the field of interventional cardiology.
In our contracted centers where interventional cardiology procedures are performed at world standards, in emergency cases, the heart vessels are opened immediately with primary PTCA/stent procedures, intervention is carried out by professional physicians, and patients are followed up meticulously.
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiological studies that provide diagnosis and detection of heart rhythm disorders are also successfully carried out at Elit Istanbul Medical Center Cardiology Clinic. In an electrophysiological study, deviations from normal are determined by evaluating the electrical signals received directly from the heart through electrode catheters that are passed through thin sheaths placed into the vein from the groin and/or neck and delivered to the heart.
In our cardiology clinic, all treatment methods in the field of permanent pacemakers, electrophysiology, and catheter ablation are applied by our expert team with advanced technological devices. Thanks to our high technology and experienced staff in the field of electrophysiology, many patients with tachycardia have regained full health without medication through the catheter ablation technique.
In our clinic, ablation procedures are successfully applied with three-dimensional mapping technology. Additionally, our patients with heart failure are successfully treated with “three-wire pacemaker application,” called cardiac resynchronization therapy, and the lifespan of these patients is extended.
