Frequently Asked Questions

Do Turkish hospitals use advanced technology for EPS and RFA?

Yes, Turkish hospitals are leaders in cardiac electrophysiology. They have the most modern electrophysiology labs, equipped with 3D mapping systems like CARTO and EnSite, as well as intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and radiofrequency ablation catheters, to ensure accuracy during EPS and RFA treatments. These centres, equipped with advanced technology, enable the accurate diagnosis and management of arrhythmias.

Do Turkish doctors have experience with EPS and RFA procedures?

Yes. Turkish electrophysiologists and cardiologists have extensive experience in EPS and RFA for complicated arrhythmias. Many of them have received specialised training in Europe or the U.S. and are actively involved in international cardiology conferences. They do these procedures all the time for local patients as well as those coming from out of town and have experience treating conditions such as atrial fibrillation, SVT, VT and WPW syndrome.

Do Turkish hospitals assist foreign patients undergoing EPS and RFA?

Turkish hospitals are well-equipped to assist international patients seeking EPS and RFA procedures, and MediGence plays a crucial role in this process. They offer comprehensive packages that include everything from the surgery and hospital stay to accommodation, airport transfers, and online consultations with top surgeons. MediGence works with accredited hospitals in Turkey, ensuring that the care provided meets international standards. Plus, they have dedicated case managers who are there to support you throughout your medical journey.

Can I consult with a cardiac surgeon online before I travel, and how can I access their patient reviews?

We offer video consultations with specialists, allowing you to connect and discuss your needs easily. You can book everything directly through our website, and a case manager will be there to help you every step of the way. Don’t forget to check out the patient reviews on MediGence’s site for some real insights into the experiences of others with the surgeons and services.

What education, credentials, and experience do Turkish electrophysiologists have?

Most Turkish electrophysiologists are certified by the Board of Cardiology with a subspecialty in cardiac electrophysiology. Most have studied or researched at prestigious institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Germany. Many belong to worldwide scientific societies, such as the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). And with over 10 years of experience, some institutions even have retired teachers who conduct foreign research and speak English fluently.

How do I check the credibility of a cardiologist in Turkey?

To verify a plastic surgeon’s credentials:

  • Confirm registration with the Turkish Medical Association (TTB)
  • Review hospital affiliations with JCI-accredited clinics
  • Look for memberships in ISAPS, TSPRAS, or other international bodies
  • Check LinkedIn profiles and published work
  • Read independent patient reviews on trusted platforms
What is the recovery time for EPS and RFA in Turkey?

Typically, the recovery time for EPS and RFA is relatively short. Patients are often able to leave the hospital within 24 hours post-procedure. Most people can return to their usual routines within 1 to 2 days and resume light activities within a week. Just remember to avoid any heavy lifting for a bit and to follow your cardiologist’s instructions regarding medications and follow-up visits.
