Cardiology

The Cardiology Department was established in 1985 within the Department of Internal Medicine by Prof. Dr. Necmi Değer. In 1990, the department was transformed into the Cardiology Department. Since 1998, our clinic has been providing services entirely within the current hospital building, including inpatient units, a coronary care unit, outpatient clinics, and non-invasive cardiology laboratories. The bed capacity of our clinic increased in 2001 with the opening of a new service block and a coronary care unit.

Our clinic has been a pioneer in many interventional cardiology procedures in Turkey due to its bold approach in the field of interventional cardiology. The first coronary stent implantation via the radial approach, the first stent implantation in an unprotected left main coronary artery, and the first coronary laser and brachytherapy applications in Turkey were performed in our clinic. Additionally, since 1992, our clinic has been continuously performing primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction with cardiac surgery stand-by support, 24 hours a day, making it one of the most experienced and leading centers in Turkey in this field. With the establishment of the electrophysiology laboratory in 2003, our clinic became fully equipped with all the facilities of a modern cardiology clinic while also successfully conducting its academic training program. Since its establishment, the following professors have served as heads of the department: Prof. Dr. Necmi Değer, Prof. Dr. Filiz Ersel Tüzüner, Prof. Dr. Oktay Sancaktar, Prof. Dr. Ali Selim Yalçınkaya, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Demir, Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Yılmaz, and Prof. Dr. Aytül Belgi Yıldırım.Our cardiology clinic, with its pioneering role in interventional cardiology, has become a fully equipped modern cardiology center while continuing to successfully conduct its academic training program.
