Mehmet K. Aktas, M.D.

Dr. Mehmet Aktas is a highly experienced cardiac electrophysiologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. He works alongside a team of dedicated arrhythmia specialists to provide comprehensive and top-quality care for patients with various heart rhythm issues.

Dr. Aktas is proficient in treating a wide range of heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, the most common abnormal heart rhythm disorder. He also manages patients with atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias, and ventricular tachycardia. His expertise extends to the implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators, devices crucial for regulating heart rhythms and preventing sudden cardiac events.

Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both cardiac electrophysiology and cardiovascular disease, Dr. Aktas has extensive training and experience in his field. He is committed to staying at the forefront of cardiac electrophysiology, continually updating his knowledge and skills to incorporate the latest advancements in the field. He is particularly skilled in the implantation of advanced leadless pacemakers, such as the Micra and AVEIR devices. His dedication to patient care and his expertise in managing complex heart rhythm disorders make him a trusted and respected physician in the community.

Dr. Aktas collaborates with the Structural Heart Program in evaluating patients for left atrial appendage occlusion as an alternative to anticoagulation therapy. He has extensive experience in implanting both the Watchman and the Amulet devices, which are designed to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation who are unable to take long-term blood thinners.

Dr. Aktas performs procedures at Strong Memorial Hospital, renowned for its advanced cardiac care. The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art mapping technology, allowing for precise and effective treatment of arrhythmias. Dr. Aktas uses cutting-edge technologies including pulse field ablation (PFA) and Stereotaxis robotic magnetic navigation to treat patients. The expert and experienced staff at Strong Memorial Hospital ensures that patients receive the best possible care throughout their treatment journey.
