General cardiology evaluates adult heart conditions, cardiovascular risk and ongoing treatment. This page is distinct from Pediatric Cardiology, which evaluates infants, children and adolescents. The receiving center confirms age eligibility and the appropriate specialist rather than assigning everyone to one age group. MPGCARE coordinates records and appointments at Medical Park and Liv Hospital in Türkiye; hospital physicians determine diagnosis and care.

A consultation, a diagnostic test and an invasive intervention are different steps. The tests below are examples selected according to symptoms, examination, risk and previous results; they are not an automatic heart-testing package.

Coronary disease, risk factors and rhythm disorders

Heart function, valves, inflammation and congenital conditions

Adult or pediatric cardiology?

For an infant, child or adolescent, request pediatric cardiology and confirm the center’s accepted age range. Adults generally see an adult cardiologist; congenital disease may require an adult congenital specialist. Young-adult transition is not decided by a blanket marketing age cutoff. Cardiac surgery is a separate specialty, and interventional/electrophysiology services require their own specialist confirmation.

What We Do

The cardiologist reviews symptoms, examination, personal/family history, current medicines and previous results. Evaluation may lead to observation, risk-factor management or treatment, not automatically an intervention. Fainting also has noncardiac causes; symptom history, ECG and selected further tests guide referral.

Which heart tests do I need?

An ECG records electrical activity; an echocardiogram assesses structure, valves and function. Holter/event monitors capture intermittent rhythm problems; ambulatory pressure monitoring assesses pressure over time. Stress testing evaluates selected exercise/ischemia questions; CT/MRI answers selected anatomical or tissue questions. Coronary angiography is invasive. The physician chooses tests and explains contrast, radiation, sedation or procedural risks when relevant; no test rules out every heart disease.

Can existing reports support a consultation?

Yes, dated ECG, echo reports and available original images, rhythm/pressure recordings, CT/MRI/angiography DICOM, laboratory results and previous discharge/procedure reports can support an initial specialist review. Include symptoms, diagnoses, medicines/doses, allergies, implants, pregnancy possibility and kidney disease. MPGCARE confirms a secure channel and translation needs; the hospital decides if records are sufficient or need updating. Record review does not replace an examination when required.

Preparation and center confirmation

Confirm the named cardiologist, hospital, age scope and availability of any proposed test or intervention. Only the receiving team gives individual written fasting, medicine, contrast and sedation instructions; do not stop heart, anticoagulant or diabetes medicines yourself. Pregnancy, kidney problems and previous contrast reactions must be reported. Ask what the written clinical plan includes and who explains results and manages complications.

Follow-up, family support and travel

Obtain the diagnosis, medication plan, warning signs and test/review schedule. Agree who monitors blood pressure, rhythm, kidney/electrolyte results, anticoagulation or device checks in your country. The treating physician assesses travel fitness and accompanying-person needs; an airline may also require clearance. Caregiver and interpreter arrangements depend on the patient and center. No fixed visit count, cure or guaranteed result is promised.

When to seek urgent local care

New/persistent chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting with symptoms, sustained rapid heartbeat with chest pain or collapse, new weakness/speech difficulty, or rapid deterioration need urgent local medical assessment. Do not wait for MPGCARE, travel or a planned test. Stable symptoms and routine risk review can be scheduled after triage.
