Akın Torun

VO2 max testing via CPET is led at Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Akın Torun, connecting cardiology assessment with longevity programming. After graduating from medical school in 2016, he completed cardiology specialist training and worked primarily in interventional cardiology. In parallel with clinical practice, he works in athlete health and performance physiology, including performance consultancy for national teams and first-team physician duties in Turkey’s Football Super League. His academic role continues at Atlas University Faculty of Medicine.

In the clinic’s longevity-reset pathway, cardiovascular and performance measurements are positioned as a core input for preventive and longevity programming. The assessment approach includes CPET for VO2 max measurement, along with echocardiography and EKG-based evaluation. Heart-rate variability (HRV) analysis and virtual angiography are also described among the tools used in this performance-and-longevity work. For strength and readiness context, strength testing is included using 5RM strength testing, alongside complete blood panel review.

Among the conditions addressed through this cardiology and preventive focus is coronary artery disease. The clinic also frames his work around preventive medicine and longevity practices, with attention to cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases. He has published 20+ national and international papers and is listed with a “First Prize in the Cardiology Nobel Awards.”
