Heart Diagnosis before OP in Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic
About the clinic
Heart Diagnosis before OP at Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, checks cardiac fitness for surgery through a series of specialized screenings. This diagnostic process involves detailed vascular ultrasound and heart function monitoring to identify potential risks before a procedure. The clinic holds a Health Tourism Authorization Certificate and is registered with Health Türkiye, meeting national standards for international patients.
Diagnostic Scope and Methods
The assessment evaluates the heart, blood vessels, and general physical readiness for surgery. Medical staff use Doppler sonography for vascular imaging and echocardiography to view heart structures. Patients also undergo an ECG and Holter ECG to monitor heart rhythm over time. The clinic performs all imaging and tests on-site, so there is no need for external referrals.
Pre-operative Assessment Process
Testing begins with an admission one day before the planned surgery. The evaluation covers several health factors that could affect surgical safety:
- Cardiovascular imaging. Includes Doppler sonography and echocardiography.
- Vital organ check. Assessment for blood pressure, diabetes, and lung disease.
- Respiratory testing. Measurement of lung capacity.
- Vascular screening. Examination of the carotid artery condition.
- Infection and blood labs. Screening for active infections and identification of the blood group.
- Dental review. Oral and dental examination to rule out inflammatory risks.
Clinical Standards
Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic operates as an outpatient facility in the Kadıköy district. It maintains specialized diagnostic equipment for complex heart and vascular imaging. The clinic follows protocols required by its Health Türkiye registration to support surgical safety through detailed risk assessments.

We met our esteemed doctor this weekend for my daughter's check-up. I don't think we could have found anyone more caring and knowledgeable. He was so attentive and cared for my daughter as if she were his own child. He considered every detail and provided information. It's clear he's passionate about his profession. We will continue our follow-ups with him, God willing. May God bless his life. Thank you so much for making us feel safe and secure. With love.
