ONUR TAŞAR

Assoc. Prof. Onur Taşar is an interventional cardiologist with a strong focus on advanced coronary imaging and complex percutaneous interventions. He completed specialized training in intracoronary imaging and complex coronary procedures at Hartcentrum OLV Aalst, Belgium, in 2022. Currently affiliated with Acıbadem Health Group, he brings up-to-date procedural skills and clinical judgment to the care of patients with coronary artery disease. He is an active member of leading professional societies, including the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Turkish Society of Cardiology (TKD), Cardiovascular Academy Association (CVA), European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). These memberships reflect his commitment to ongoing education, multidisciplinary collaboration, and advancing best practices in cardiovascular care.
