Fatih AKYAZICI

Fatih AKYAZICI serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cardiology at Beykent University, Turkey, where he conducts research at the intersection of advanced cardiac imaging and clinical cardiology.

His academic qualifications include:

• Medical Degree from Gazi University (2001)
• Cardiology Specialization from Bursa High Specialty Training Hospital (2010) with thesis on "Effects of Ankaferd Blood Stopper on Colon Anastomosis Healing"
• PhD from Gazi University (2012)

Dr. AKYAZICI's research centers on echocardiographic methodologies for evaluating cardiac function in hypertension and metabolic disorders. His expertise spans tissue Doppler imaging, transesophageal echocardiography, and biomarker correlations, with particular focus on left ventricular filling pressures, coronary slow flow phenomenon, and left atrial appendage dynamics in hypertensive populations.

Analysis of his 2006-2013 publications reveals consistent investigation of echocardiographic parameters in essential hypertension and metabolic syndrome. Key patterns include correlation of imaging findings with NT-proBNP levels, assessment of atrial mechanics using novel Doppler techniques, and evaluation of diastolic dysfunction through tissue motion parameters. His work demonstrates technical innovation in applying color-M-mode and tissue Doppler to clinical cardiac assessment.
