Clinical focus

Dr. Imanov’s area of practice is cardiology, covering the evaluation and care of patients with heart disease and circulatory system disorders. Patients may be referred to him with symptoms that raise the possibility of a cardiac condition, with a diagnosis already established elsewhere, or for a review of existing treatment. In each case the aim is to build a clear picture of the patient’s cardiac status before any decision about further investigation or management is discussed.

A cardiology assessment with Dr. Imanov typically brings together the patient’s history, current symptoms, medication use and any previous cardiac test results. Where earlier investigations are available, these are reviewed alongside the clinical examination so that findings can be interpreted in context. Dr. Imanov places importance on helping patients understand the results of their cardiac evaluation and the reasoning behind the care plan that is proposed. Treatment recommendations are made on an individual basis and depend on the nature of the condition, the findings of the assessment and the patient’s overall health.

How Dr. Imanov works with international patients

Dr. Imanov consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation with Dr. Imanov typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging, test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options that follow from the findings. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial review of a case or a discussion of existing results before any decision about traveling for in-person assessment. Dr. Imanov supports patients in understanding their cardiac evaluation and care plan at each stage of this process.
