HEART TREATMENTS IN TURKEY

HERZOPERATIONEN IN ISTANBUL

Türkiye has a well-deserved reputation in cardiac surgery.

The rising number of cardiovascular diseases is among the leading causes of death. Their diagnosis and treatment should be carried out by experienced physicians in fully equipped clinics with modern medical technologies.

The cardiac clinics of the Acıbadem Hospitals Group operate at a world-class level, offering their patients the most advanced cardiac treatment in Turkey. Acıbadem uses state-of-the-art equipment for the early diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

The goal of early diagnosis at Acıbadem Heart Hospitals is to save lives, which is why great emphasis is placed on diagnostic tools with modern technologies. The diagnostic instruments used include the Dual-Source 64-slice CT scanner, which can perform a cardiovascular angioplasty in six seconds, the PET/CT, which allows for precise imaging of the heart, and the Flash CT. The Flash CT is the fastest tomography instrument in the world. It can perform a cardiovascular angioplasty in 0.25 seconds while also offering the lowest radiation levels globally.

Medical Performance Indicators
Since 2002, the Acıbadem Hospitals Group has monitored its medical and administrative performance using medical performance indicators. Patient safety and satisfaction are paramount. Acıbadem reviews the scores it receives in the cardiac clinic and all other departments and uses them to continuously improve patient care.

According to Euroscore, the expected mortality rate for open-heart surgery is 3.8%. For Acıbadem, it is 1.6%.

According to Euroscore, the expected mortality rate for coronary artery bypass surgery is 2.7%. For Acıbadem, it is 1.0%.

What is Euroscore?

Surgery is riskier for elderly patients, diabetics, or patients who have already suffered a heart attack, undergone previous heart surgery, or suffer from disorders of cardiac contraction and expansion, as well as kidney, liver, and lung dysfunction. Various risk scores exist for the objective assessment of patient risks and should be considered. These scores calculate weighted risk values. “Euroscore” is the most widely used scoring system.
