Bio
I studied medicine at Ege University School of medicine (1988-1995) and completed my cardiology residency in the Ege University in 1999. I am working as a general cardiology consultant and Lipid and Prevention specialist at the Ege University Medical School.
I am running the Lipid out-patient Clinic since 1996, Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic since 2008, and the Young MI Clinic since 2005.
I am working as a National CVD Prevention Coordinator of Turkey for EAPC since 2009. I am the deputy ambassador of MENA and India Regions of ESC for 2018-2020. I am also a member of ESC-EORP Oversight Committee and ESC Global Affairs Committee. I am also a social media ambassador of EAS.

I am working as the Associate Editor of Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology since 2016.
My research field includes atherosclerosis, prevention, lipids, familial hypercholesterolemia, premature myocardial infarction, hereditary thrombophillia, cardiovascular involvement in rare disease and pulmonary hypertension.
For research activity, I am chairing a large series of national registries including familial hypercholesterolemia registries (A-HIT 1 and A-HIT 2), a registry of premature myocardial infarction in Turkey (A-HIT 3), ARTEMIS (registry of peri-partum CMP), and TURK-MI (a 15-day snapshot registry of AMI).

I presented TSC in the Red Alert on Women’s Heart Project (EuroHeart Project, Work Package 6) (2007- 2009) and worked as principal and co-investigator in many CV prevention projects including Euroaspire III, IV, and V. I am also the national coordinator of FHSC (Familial Hypercholesterolemia Studies Collaboration) in EAS. I am highly experienced in patient education programs on CVD prevention and actively working in several CV prevention projects in collaboration with Turkish Ministry of health.
For advocacy, I am also chairing the FH-Turkey and working actively for FH-Europe.
