Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) Treatment in Private Medline Adana Hospital

About the clinic

Chronic heart failure management at Private Medline Adana Hospital in Adana, Turkey, focuses on long-term cardiac stability and lifestyle integration. Care is led by Prof. Dr. Tuna Katırcıbaşı, a specialist with over 25 years of experience who has published more than 60 scientific articles on heart health. The clinic provides a path from advanced diagnostic testing to personalized medical therapy and rehabilitation.

Diagnostic capabilities for heart failure

The hospital uses several testing methods to determine the stage of heart failure and heart muscle function. These tests help Prof. Dr. Katırcıbaşı create an accurate plan for each patient.

Echocardiography (EKO). This ultrasound shows how well the heart pumps blood and how the valves work.
CT coronary angiography. A detailed scan to check for blockages in the heart arteries.
Holter and ABPM monitoring. These devices track heart rhythms and blood pressure for 24 hours.
BNP / NT-proBNP blood tests. These markers show the level of stress on the heart muscle.
Exercise stress test. This treadmill test measures how the heart responds to physical activity.

Treatment and rehabilitation options

Treatment at Private Medline Adana Hospital involves both medication and active recovery programs. Prof. Dr. Tuna Katırcıbaşı adjusts drug therapies, including beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, based on the patient's symptoms. The cardiology center also evaluates patients for device therapies, such as pacemakers or ICDs, using catheter-based techniques.

The cardiac rehabilitation program helps patients rebuild physical strength after a heart attack or a period of worsening symptoms. This program includes supervised exercise planning and nutritional counseling focused on a Mediterranean diet. Patients also receive guidance on salt intake, sleep hygiene, and stress management to help prevent future hospital visits.

The clinic serves international patients and provides support in English, German, Russian, and Arabic. You can request a consultation for heart failure management through Bookimed.

We met during my father-in-law’s angiography with Dr. Tuna. Aside from her experience and knowledge, her warm friendliness and consistently positive attitude won our hearts. After that, for routine checkups, our entire family started going to her. A modest doctor who does not leave her work to chance, follows her treatments and tests, and explains every situation to the patient in detail. My doctor also advised that I needed an angiography, and she went ahead with the procedure. Her approach before the procedure—comforting the patient and the patient’s relatives—her reassurances during the procedure that gave the patient confidence, and her information and guidance after the procedure were all extremely good. We are very pleased with her, and we are also very satisfied with her assistant, Ms. Sibel. We would like to thank her for her efforts.

We would like to thank our doctor for his interest and care. Our dear wife has had fluid buildup in her heart for a long time, and the cause has not been determined yet. God willing, with the help of our doctor, she will recover her health 🖐️

I’ve been going regularly for 3 years, and in every checkup they take care of me with attention and detail. Whenever I want, I can reach them and ask the questions that come to mind—so I’d like to thank them separately. Our hearts are in good hands ❤️

My doctor, Tuna, is truly very attentive and sincere. During the examination process, he takes care of everything in a detailed way, answers my questions in a clear and explanatory manner, and then closely follows up on the process as well. This gives you confidence. His communication is excellent—you feel at ease. I would recommend him with peace of mind.

We met with Hocam Tuna in March this year, after my 79-year-old father was diagnosed with a heart attack. He was urgently referred to a research hospital. Because there was a problem with his kidneys, after the Anjiyo (angiography) procedure he would become a 90% dialysis patient, and we were told, “You decide whether to do the Anjiyo.” Following a recommendation, we contacted Hocam Tuna. He explained that although the Anjiyo procedure was mandatory, we also needed to protect his kidneys—and that he would follow a different approach than the standard procedure used in a normal Anjiyo. He told us that they would admit the patient to the hospital the day before, provide kidney treatment, and then perform the Anjiyo after the treatment. With his humane approach and satisfying, reassuring explanations, he gave confidence to both us and my father. He planned the treatment together with the Nephrology specialist and performed the Anjiyo one day later. In order to protect the kidney, he opened nearly 100% blocked three vessels by using the minimum amount of contrast and doing it in the shortest possible time, placing a maximum of 4 stents. He is a physician who managed the entire process one-to-one: having the duty nurse at midnight receive the EKG results and telling her what to do, following the treatment personally, and even if there wasn’t a problem, visiting at least 4–5 times during the day (to use an expression, “it’s not a figure of speech”—he was like a whole Atom Ant). As a result of the treatment, my father’s heart-related complaints have completely gone away. His kidney values returned to their pre-Anjiyo level, and he did not experience any trouble. We would like to thank Hocam very much—for his humanity, his friendly smile, and, most importantly, for never withholding his knowledge and experience in his field from patients and their relatives.
