Mehmet Emre Özpelit

Mehmet Emre Özpelit is an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Sciences at Izmir University of Economics, Turkey, currently active as faculty staff. His clinical and research work centers on cardiovascular pathophysiology within internal medicine disciplines.

His primary research interests include Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease, Arterial Stiffness, and Endocrinology. He investigates hemodynamic relationships in endocrine disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome and connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma, with focus on arterial stiffness as a biomarker for cardiovascular outcomes.

Recent publications demonstrate strong trends in non-invasive cardiovascular risk assessment through coronary CT angiography and arterial stiffness metrics. His work bridges clinical cardiology with endocrinology, particularly examining how metabolic and autoimmune conditions manifest in vascular pathology across diverse patient populations including young adults and scleroderma patients.
