Diagnosis ยท Intervention ยท Device Therapy ยท Heart Failure
BB Global Health connects patients with Turkey's leading cardiology departments โ offering comprehensive cardiac diagnostics, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, and advanced heart failure management at JCI-accredited hospitals. Whether you need a coronary angiogram, cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation, a pacemaker, detailed echocardiography, or a specialist second opinion for complex heart failure, our partner cardiologists deliver expert care at 50โ60% below UK private costs.
At a Glance
Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty: The gold standard for diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease. Diagnostic catheterisation via the wrist (radial access) gives direct visualisation of the coronary arteries. Where significant narrowing is found, PTCA (angioplasty) and drug-eluting stent implantation can be performed in the same sitting. FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) pressure wire assessment helps target interventions to only haemodynamically significant lesions. Full details โ
Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology: Specialist management of all cardiac arrhythmias โ atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation (pulmonary vein isolation, radiofrequency or cryo), SVT ablation (AVNRT, accessory pathway โ >95% success), ventricular tachycardia ablation, and device therapy (pacemaker, ICD, CRT-D). 3D electroanatomical mapping system (CARTO, EnSite) available. Full details โ
Echocardiography: Full echocardiography service โ transthoracic echo (TTE), transesophageal echo (TOE), stress echocardiography (exercise and dobutamine), speckle tracking strain, 3D volumetric echo, and bubble contrast. Same-day results; accredited cardiologist interpretation with DICOM image delivery. Full details โ
Advanced Heart Failure: Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) optimisation including sacubitril-valsartan (Entresto), SGLT2 inhibitors, MRA, and beta-blocker titration. CRT-D device implantation. Cardiac MRI for cardiomyopathy characterisation. LVAD evaluation for end-stage heart failure. Full details โ
