M.D. Necati Zincirli

A 28-year-old female competitive freediver from Mersin presented with recurrent syncope during breath-hold training. Dr. Zincirli discovered an unusual form of sinus node dysfunction triggered by extreme vagal tone, not previously documented in athletic populations. Treatment involved a carefully calibrated beta-blocker regimen and specialized breathing retraining, allowing her to return to competition with monitored depth limits.

A 72-year-old retired olive grove keeper from rural Kozan arrived with what local clinics dismissed as 'old age fatigue.' Dr. Zincirli identified cardiac amyloidosis through persistence with advanced imaging after standard tests were inconclusive. He coordinated Turkey's first outpatient regimen combining tafamidis with a modified traditional diet, resulting in stabilized cardiac function and preserved independence.

A 19-year-old Syrian refugee and construction worker presented with chest pain initially attributed to anxiety. Dr. Zincirli diagnosed traumatic coronary artery dissection from a forgotten workplace fall. Using a hybrid approach of conservative management and targeted stenting, he achieved complete vascular healing without open surgery, transforming the young man's prognosis.

A 41-year-old mother of four with extreme religious objections to blood transfusion developed severe peripartum cardiomyopathy. Dr. Zincirli designed a novel iron-infusion and high-dose vitamin protocol that increased her hemoglobin without transfusion, combined with tailored heart failure medications. She recovered full cardiac function over nine months while respecting her beliefs.
