Among our doctors for your Coronary disease treatment

Understanding coronary artery disease (CAD)

Coronary artery disease, often called CAD, occurs when the arteries that supply your heart with oxygen-rich blood begin to narrow or become blocked. These arteries are essential lifelines. Over time, cholesterol and other substances can build up along their inner walls, forming plaque, a process known as atherosclerosis.

As the arteries narrow, blood flow to the heart becomes restricted. Early on, you may feel nothing at all. But when your heart needs more oxygen, during physical activity, emotional stress, or even after a heavy meal, this reduced blood flow can trigger warning signs.

Common symptoms include:

In some cases, coronary disease remains silent. For certain patients, a heart attack is the first sign. This happens when a plaque suddenly ruptures, and a blood clot completely blocks an artery.

The impact of coronary artery disease varies from person to person and depends on:

This variability is exactly why early evaluation matters. When CAD is identified before significant damage occurs, treatment options are broader and more effective, helping relieve symptoms, reduce heart attack risk, and protect long-term heart function.

How coronary artery disease is diagnosed (Tests & imaging)

Diagnosing coronary artery disease is a step-by-step process that determines whether blood flow to the heart is reduced, where blockages are located, and how severe they are.

Initial evaluation

The assessment begins with a clinical consultation, where the cardiologist reviews:

This helps determine which tests are truly necessary.

Key diagnostic tests

Based on that initial review, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following tests:

Coronary angiography

If other tests point to significant blockages, the most precise tool is a coronary angiogram. This minimally invasive procedure uses a special dye and X-rays to provide a real-time, detailed map of your heart's arteries. It shows exactly where and how narrow they are. This definitive information is what doctors use to plan the most effective treatment, such as angioplasty or bypass surgery.

Why this matters ?

An early, accurate diagnosis gives you access to more effective, and often less invasive, treatment options, helping protect your heart before irreversible damage occurs.

A clear diagnosis allows cardiologists to choose the safest and most effective strategy, whether that's medication, minimally invasive intervention, or surgery.

Treatment options for coronary artery disease in Turkey

Treatment for coronary artery disease isn't one-size-fits-all. It depends on how advanced the disease is, your symptoms, and how much blood flow is affected. The goal is always the same: improve blood flow to the heart, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of a heart attack.

Most treatment plans follow a stepwise approach, starting with the least invasive options and escalating only when necessary.

Medical management (first-line treatment)

For many patients with stable CAD, medication combined with lifestyle changes is highly effective. This approach focuses on controlling risk factors and reducing the heart's workload.

Common medications may include:

Lifestyle measures, such as quitting smoking, improving diet, and staying physically active, are an essential part of this phase and significantly improve long-term outcomes.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty & stenting)

When symptoms persist despite medication, or if a significant blockage is found, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly called angioplasty, is a highly effective next step.

This minimally invasive procedure involves:

Angioplasty is most effective for one or two well-defined blockages. Recovery is usually fast, often with a hospital stay of just 1-2 days.

Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)

For complex cases, such as multiple blockages, disease in the main left artery, or when diabetes is present, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is often the gold standard for long-term durability.

This procedure creates new pathways for blood to reach the heart muscle, bypassing the blocked arteries entirely. It is typically recommended when long-term blood flow improvement is essential.

In Turkey, coronary artery disease is managed through a structured, multidisciplinary approach rather than a single procedure-driven pathway. Cardiologists, interventional specialists, and cardiac surgeons review diagnostic findings together to determine whether medication alone is sufficient or whether revascularization is truly necessary. This coordinated decision-making helps avoid unnecessary interventions while ensuring timely access to angioplasty or bypass surgery when blood flow to the heart is at risk. The emphasis is on choosing the right treatment at the right time, based on anatomy, disease severity, and long-term cardiac protection, not on default escalation.

Life after treatment: Ensuring long-term hart health in Turkey

Successfully treating a coronary blockage is a major victory, but it's also the beginning of a new chapter. Whether you've had an angioplasty or bypass surgery, the ultimate goal is lasting heart health and a return to an active, fulfilling life. The procedure fixes the immediate problem, but your long-term well-being is a partnership built on smart habits and expert-guided care.

Coronary disease treatment FAQ in Turkey

Is coronary artery disease treatment in Turkey covered by insurance?

It depends on your country of origin and your insurance policy. Some international insurance plans cover treatments in Turkey. We recommend contacting your insurer before your trip.

What is the average waiting time to get an appointment and be treated for coronary artery disease in Turkey?

With Turquie Santé, an appointment and treatment can usually be arranged within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on your situation and the availability of partner centers.

How is the choice of treatment for coronary artery disease determined?

The treatment choice depends on the condition of the coronary arteries, the severity of symptoms, age, and overall health. The cardiologist evaluates these factors to recommend the safest and most effective treatment.

Can I travel after a stent or coronary bypass?

Yes, but it is advised to wait a few days to weeks depending on the type of procedure and your condition. Medical clearance is required before any travel to ensure sufficient recovery.

How is follow-up conducted after coronary treatment in Turkey?

Follow-up includes regular consultations with the cardiologist, control tests (ECG, echocardiography, blood tests),and medication adjustments if needed. Turquie Santé often coordinates the continuity of follow-up after you return to your country.
