Muammer Karakayali serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Kafkas University Faculty of Medicine, specializing in cardiology with a focus on electrophysiology, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. With over 100 publications and an h-index of 14 (Google Scholar), his research spans cardiac biomarkers, arrhythmia prediction, and post-COVID cardiac complications.
- PhD from Health Sciences University (2014-2019)
- Bachelor's Degree from Trakya University Faculty of Medicine (2008-2014)
His research interests center on inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular disease, circadian blood pressure patterns, and cardiac manifestations of systemic conditions. Key areas include atrial fibrillation prediction using electrocardiographic parameters (P-wave peak time, QRS-T angle), MINOCA/INOCA pathophysiology, and risk stratification in acute coronary syndromes. His work employs advanced methodologies including speckle-tracking echocardiography and analysis of hematological indices.
Karakayali leads the MORCOR-TURK LGI study on leuko-glycemic index in coronary care units and participates in the TRAFFIC Study on real-world atrial fibrillation management. His publication trends show increasing focus on post-COVID cardiac sequelae since 2020, with significant contributions to understanding arrhythmia mechanisms in inflammatory states.
- Young Cardiologists of the Year Award - First Place (2024)
- Dr. Ümit Aker Most Successful TKD Archive Article Awards (2024)
He maintains extensive collaborations with 188 researchers including Timor Omar (43 joint publications) and İnanç Artaç (44 joint publications). His teaching portfolio includes 71 courses spanning EKG interpretation, pacemaker applications, and arrhythmia management across medical education levels. As an active member of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC ID: 852743) and European Heart Rhythm Association (Silver Member), he contributes to advancing clinical cardiology practice in Turkey.
