Clinical focus

Dr. Timuralp’s work centers on the assessment and care of patients with cardiovascular conditions. His subspecialty is cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, which is concerned with rehabilitation support for patients whose heart and lung function requires structured follow-up. In this setting, attention is given to the patient’s cardiovascular assessment and to the rehabilitation needs that follow from it. Because rehabilitation planning depends on the individual patient’s history, current findings and previous treatments, recommendations are made only after these have been reviewed.

His background in internal medicine informs how he approaches cardiology patients, particularly where cardiovascular findings need to be considered alongside a patient’s wider medical picture. The areas listed for his practice are cardiology, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, cardiovascular care and internal medicine. Patients with questions about whether a specific condition or procedure falls within his practice can have this clarified during the case review that precedes an appointment.

How Dr. Timuralp works with international patients

Dr. Timuralp 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 it arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Timuralp before deciding whether to travel to Eskişehir. Any plan for cardiovascular care or cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is discussed with the patient once the relevant records and examination findings have been considered, so that the approach reflects the individual case rather than a general template.
