Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery

Coordination for cardiac treatment in Turkey, not a medical provider

FTurkey is a health-tourism consulting and coordination company, not a hospital, clinic or medical provider. FTurkey does not practise medicine, does not diagnose a cardiac condition and does not decide on a treatment plan. Within an agreed written scope, FTurkey helps international patients considering cardiology or cardiac surgery in Turkey share their existing medical records with a suitable hospital, understand the practical steps involved, and coordinate the logistics around an evaluation or procedure. Every diagnostic and treatment decision remains with the licensed treating cardiologist, cardiac surgeon and hospital in Turkey, regulated by the Ministry of Health (Sağlık Bakanlığı), based on your actual records and clinical examination.

The range of cardiology and cardiac surgery services FTurkey can help you access

Turkish cardiology and cardiac surgery departments handle a wide range of conditions, and hospitals differ in which of these they are equipped and authorised to treat. Examples of the areas FTurkey can help coordinate access to include diagnostic cardiology such as ECG, echocardiography, stress testing and coronary angiography; interventional procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement; and surgical procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting or heart valve repair and replacement. These illustrate the field's scope rather than describe what a particular hospital offers or what would be recommended for you — the treating cardiology team decides which of these, if any, apply to your case after reviewing your records.

Sharing your medical records for a preliminary opinion

The usual first step is to organise your existing cardiac records — prior ECGs, echocardiogram and angiography reports, imaging, medication history and a summary from your current cardiologist — and share them, with your consent, with a hospital FTurkey helps identify. A hospital's preliminary opinion based on a records review is not a diagnosis and can change once the treating cardiologist examines you in person or by teleconsultation and reviews any further tests requested. No treatment, procedure or admission date can be confirmed before that clinical evaluation is complete.

Choosing a hospital authorised for international cardiac patients

Hospitals that treat international patients in Turkey are expected to hold the Ministry of Health's International Patient Health Tourism Authorization Certificate, alongside accreditation relevant to cardiology and cardiac surgery services. FTurkey checks for this authorisation when helping identify hospitals, alongside practical factors such as language support, location and whether the department has experience relevant to the type of evaluation you are seeking. The final choice of hospital and treating team remains yours.

Coordination during your visit

Once a hospital accepts your file for evaluation, within the agreed scope FTurkey can help schedule appointments, arrange interpretation during medical consultations, and coordinate travel and accommodation logistics around your visit. FTurkey does not attend consultations as a medical representative, does not communicate clinical instructions on the hospital's behalf, and does not manage your medical records or results independently of the hospital's own systems.

What this coordination does not include

FTurkey does not recommend a specific cardiologist, surgeon or procedure, does not estimate a success rate, recovery timeline or price for any cardiac treatment, and does not guarantee that a hospital will accept your case or that a given procedure will be offered. Any figures discussed at any stage are indicative only and are confirmed solely by the hospital once your evaluation is complete.

Understand the process and request a proposal

The coordination involved depends on your current diagnosis, the records already available, and the type of cardiology or cardiac surgery evaluation you are seeking. Request a quote describing your situation and the records you can share, and FTurkey can propose a written scope covering the coordination support available for your case.
