Sinan Altan Kocaman

Prof. Dr. Sinan Altan Kocaman is a specialist in interventional cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at Private Koru Ankara Hospital. He achieved Professor status in 2023 and contributes to medical engineering through patent and consultancy services. Dr. Kocaman has a high citation record for his international scientific publications.

Specialization and Approach

The specialist treats heart rhythm disorders and minimally invasive cardiac procedures. He uses cardiac electrophysiological (EPS) studies to diagnose electrical issues in the heart — a procedure that tests the heart's electrical system to identify irregular heartbeats. Dr. Kocaman treats these conditions using radiofrequency ablation and rhythm management technologies. Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that causes irregular heartbeats.

His clinical practice includes:

• Ablation therapy for cardiac arrhythmias
• Implantation and long-term follow-up of cardiac pacemakers
• Interventional treatments for coronary artery disease
• Treatment of atherosclerosis and hypertension
• Treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension
• Stenting for carotid and intracranial arterial diseases
