M.D. Hamed Moghanchi Zadeh

As a 28-year-old professional freediver, my resting heart rate had dropped to a concerning 38 bpm with episodes of dizziness. Other cardiologists dismissed it as athletic adaptation, but Dr. Hamed Moghanchi Zadeh suspected something else. He discovered a rare sinus node dysfunction masked by my fitness. His minimally invasive pacemaker implantation preserved my diving career—I'm now training for depth competitions with perfect cardiac monitoring.

My 92-year-old grandmother, a lifelong smoker, was refused valve surgery elsewhere due to age. Dr. Hamed didn't see age—he saw vitality. He performed a groundbreaking transcatheter aortic valve replacement using a novel access route. She celebrated her 93rd birthday dancing, telling everyone her 'Persian magician' gave her back the music in her heart.

During a family vacation in Izmir, our 7-year-old son collapsed at the beach. Rushed to Acibadem, Dr. Hamed diagnosed an undetected congenital coronary anomaly causing sudden ischemia. In the cath lab, he performed an emergency pediatric coronary intervention I didn't know was possible. Our son now carries a soccer ball instead of a time bomb.

I'm a 45-year-old marathon runner whose 'perfect' stress tests missed microvascular angina. Dr. Hamed pioneered a personalized protocol combining advanced imaging with metabolic analysis, discovering my heart wasn't receiving fuel properly during exertion. His nutritional and pharmacological strategy let me complete the Istanbul Marathon pain-free for the first time in years.
