Qualifications
Dr. Selim Topcu is a cardiologist at Emsey Hospital who specializes in interventional cardiology and the treatment of rare cardiovascular conditions. He has published studies on heart failure, coronary anomalies, and interventional methods. His research covers the prognostic value of altitude in heart failure and the role of the right atrium in postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Specialization and Research Focus
Dr. Topcu uses interventional cardiology to treat heart conditions. He applies coronary fractional flow reserve to evaluate blood flow in the heart. This method helps determine the necessity of stenting or surgery. He also performs coronary fractional flow reserve using contrast medium to evaluate treatment efficacy.
The doctor treats patients with heart failure and end-stage renal disease. He researches how dialysis affects atrial function. Dr. Topcu also treats rare cases like heart metastasis and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These conditions often mimic acute coronary syndrome in clinical presentations.
Academic and Research Contributions
Dr. Topcu has published research in medical journals. He contributed data to the national A-HIT1 and A-HIT2 registries for familial hypercholesterolemia. His findings help doctors understand the impact of altitude on heart failure prognosis. Additionally, he has conducted meta-analyses on atrial fibrillation risks.
He has conducted studies on the following topics:
- Predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation using speckle tracking echocardiography — a non-invasive imaging technique that measures heart muscle deformation.
- The risk of atrial fibrillation during ivabradine treatment.
- Long-term mortality and contrast-induced nephropathy risks.
- Efficacy of contrast medium versus adenosine in flow reserve evaluations.
- Importance of magnesium levels in st-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
- Prevalence of coronary artery anomalies and aortic valve sclerosis.
Education and Background
- 2007 – Graduate of Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Turkey.
