Specialis 1 Program in Cardiovasculard Medicine

Clinical Cardiology is a research group within Cardiovascular ciences that studies the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular diseases in adults and pediatric patients. The group also studies risk factors that can lead to heart disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and smoking. They use diagnostic tests, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, and stress tests, to help diagnose heart disease and determine appropriate treatment. Clinical Cardiology works closely with cardiosurgeons and nutritionists to provide comprehensive integrated care to patients. The main goal of Clinical Cardiology is to provide optimal healthcare to patients with heart and vascular diseases. Students are aimed to understand the pathophysiology of cardiologic diseases and apply their knowledge in making appropriate diagnoses as well as planning and providing effective management.
The field has an important role in caring for patients with cardiological diseases, helping them understand their condition, and optimizing quality of life.

Invasive and Non-Surgical Interventions in Cardiovascular Sciences studies non-surgical interventional techniques to diagnose and treat heart and vascular diseases. The group uses invasive techniques, such as cardiac catheterization, angiography, and angioplasty to repair blockages in coronary arteries and prevent heart attacks. They also use non-invasive techniques, such as electrophysiology, to diagnose and treat heart rhythm disorders. The Invasive and Non-Surgical Intervention group works closely with clinical cardiologists and surgical cardiologists to provide the best-integrated care to patients. The main goal of Invasive and Non-Surgical Interventions is to provide effective and minimally invasive medical solutions for patients with heart and vascular diseases. Students are aimed to understand the indications, contraindications, risks, benefits, and post-interventional care of these procedures.
This field has a key role in providing prompt and appropriate treatment to patients with cardiologic problems, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing further complications.

Pediatrics and Congenital Heart Disease in Cardiovascular Sciences studies the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular diseases that occur in children. The group focuses on congenital heart diseases, which are heart defects that occur at birth or while the baby is still in the womb. They use diagnostic tests such as echocardiogram, electrocardiogram (ECG), and stress tests to diagnose heart diseases and determine the appropriate treatment. The Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease group works closely with pediatric cardiac surgeons and dietitians to provide comprehensive integrated care to patients. The primary goal of Pediatrics and Congenital Heart Disease is to provide comprehensive and excellent care for children with congenital heart disease. Students are trained to perform holistic evaluations and plan treatments that are appropriate to the age and specific conditions of pediatric patients.
This field has an important role in helping children born with heart defects to live a healthy and quality life.

Intensive Cardiology in Cardiovascular Sciences studies the management of patients with critical conditions that require intensive care. This group focuses on the management of patients with heart attack, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias and other heart rhythm disorders. They use cutting-edge technology such as mechanical ventilation equipment, arterial blood pressure monitors and cardiac catheterization to monitor and respond quickly to patients' conditions. The Intensive Cardiology group works closely with clinical cardiologists, surgical cardiologists, and other medical teams to provide appropriate integrated care to patients. The primary goal of Intensive Cardiology and Cardiovascular Emergencies is to save the lives of patients with acute heart disease and emergency cardiovascular conditions. Students are taught to work with a multidisciplinary medical team to respond quickly and effectively to emergency conditions.
This field has a critical role in ensuring patients get the best care at crucial times.

Arrhythmia in Cardiovascular Science studies heart rhythm disorders, including bradycardia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The group utilizes technologies such as electrophysiology and Holter monitors to diagnose and plan appropriate treatment. They also use non-surgical procedures, such as catheter ablation and pacemaker insertion, as well as pharmacological treatment to control abnormal heart rhythms. The Arrhythmia group works closely with clinical cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to provide comprehensive integrated care and help patients achieve a better quality of life. The main goal of the Arrhythmia group is to provide optimal care for patients with heart rhythm disorders. Students are trained to plan appropriate treatment strategies, monitor patient progress, and conduct regular follow-ups to ensure that heart rhythms return to normal and patients can lead functional daily lives.
This field has an important role in improving the quality of life of patients suffering from arrhythmias.

Vascular Medicine in Cardiovascular Science studies disorders of the blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, thrombosis and varicose veins. They use technologies such as vascular ultrasound and angiography to diagnose and plan appropriate treatment. The group also uses surgical procedures such as endarterectomy and arterial bypass to treat severe vascular diseases. The Vascular Medicine group works closely with cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and radiologists to provide comprehensive integrated care and help patients achieve a better quality of life. The goal is to improve patient safety and prevent serious complications from vascular disorders. In addition, research in vascular medicine aims to understand the causes and risk factors of vascular disease, develop innovative therapies, and improve patient care. Students are trained to understand the dynamics of blood vessels and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in treating patients with vascular disease.

Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation in Cardiovascular Disease aims to prevent cardiovascular disease by identifying risk factors and designing appropriate intervention programs.
In this program, students understand risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle. They learn preventive strategies including patient education, healthy lifestyle promotion, dietary management, and appropriate physical exercise programs.
Cardiovascular rehabilitation focuses on patient recovery after a cardiac event or surgical intervention. Students understand rehabilitation plans that include medical monitoring, physical recovery, psychological counseling, stress management, and lifestyle changes to support optimal recovery.
Research in this specialty group focuses on developing effective methods in the prevention and rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular disease. These efforts aim to improve patients' quality of life, reduce the risk of recurrence, and optimize the healing process.

Non Invasive Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Imaging in Cardiovascular Science studies the use of non-invasive imaging technologies to analyze the structure and function of the heart and vascular system. The main objective is to understand and master the imaging technologies used for the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases.
Students in this specialty group learn the principles and techniques of echocardiography, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography), and other imaging technologies. They understand the interpretation of imaging results and their application in the diagnosis of heart disease and vascular conditions.
Non-invasive imaging is becoming an important instrument in evaluating heart structure, contractility function, blood flow, and the state of heart valves without the need for invasive intervention. This allows for better treatment planning and monitoring of disease progression with minimal risk to the patient.
Research in this scientific group includes the development of new imaging technologies, optimization of existing imaging techniques, and evaluation of the accuracy of diagnosis by comparing imaging results with other methods. These efforts aim to advance imaging technologies that support early diagnosis, appropriate treatment and accurate monitoring for patients with cardiovascular disease.
