A 28-year-old female professional marathon runner presented with sudden-onset palpitations during a training session. Despite her peak physical condition, Dr. Karakuş discovered a previously undiagnosed arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy through advanced electrophysiological mapping. Treatment involved catheter ablation and a carefully calibrated beta-blocker regimen, allowing her to return to competitive running with modified training protocols after 6 months of cardiac rehabilitation.
A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from a low-income neighborhood arrived with progressive fatigue, unaware of his severe aortic stenosis. Dr. Karakuş coordinated with social services to navigate his limited insurance coverage, then performed a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using a novel minimalist approach that reduced hospital stay to 2 days. The patient regained functional independence and now volunteers at a community heart health education program.
A 41-year-old software developer and new father presented with atypical chest pain that intensified during stressful work deadlines. Comprehensive testing revealed coronary microvascular dysfunction rather than traditional artery blockages. Dr. Karakuş implemented a unique treatment plan combining ranolazine therapy with a structured digital detox protocol and mindfulness training, resulting in complete symptom resolution without invasive procedures.
A 19-year-old university exchange student from Kazakhstan collapsed during a cultural festival. Emergency evaluation showed acute myocarditis likely triggered by a recent viral infection. Dr. Karakuş managed her care with temporary mechanical circulatory support while navigating language barriers and coordinating with her family abroad via telemedicine. She made a full recovery after 3 months and completed her academic year.
