Savaş Beyaztaş, MD

Savaş Beyaztaş, MD is a cardiologist in the Cardiology Department at Acibadem Kayseri Hospital in Kayseri. With more than 25 years in medicine, he cares for patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, heart valve diseases, hypertension, myocarditis and heart murmurs. His work also covers diagnostic angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention and the ongoing care of patients who have a pacemaker.

Dr. Beyaztaş graduated from Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine in 2001 and completed his specialty training in Cardiology at Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine in 2007. He then worked at Kayseri Training and Research Hospital from 2007 to 2011 before joining Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2011. He is a member of the Kayseri Medical Chamber. His co-authored publications include an article in the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology on the use of a polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent graft to treat an infarct-related severe atherosclerotic lesion with coronary artery aneurysm, and a contribution in the Journal of Electrocardiology examining whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors reduce atrial fibrillation recurrence in rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Beyaztaş’s practice concerns coronary artery disease. Assessment may involve angiography to visualize the coronary arteries and, where appropriate, percutaneous coronary intervention to treat narrowed vessels. He also evaluates and follows patients with heart failure, including the review of medication and the monitoring of symptoms over time, and provides follow-up care for patients with a pacemaker.

His practice further includes heart valve diseases and heart murmurs, which are often first noticed during a physical examination and may require additional cardiac evaluation to clarify their cause and significance. He also manages hypertension and assesses patients with suspected or confirmed myocarditis. Any recommendation depends on the individual diagnosis, the findings of the examination and the available imaging and laboratory results, and the options are discussed with the patient before a plan is agreed.

How Dr. Beyaztaş works with international patients

Dr. Beyaztaş 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. 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 options. Video consultation is also available for international patients, which may help clarify whether an in-person assessment is advisable and what further tests might be needed before travel.
