Jarkko Heiskanen

Cardiologist

I am a cardiologist (MD, PhD) I work at Turku University Central Hospital and also conduct research on coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and risk factors for heart disease.

My areas of expertise include heart murmurs, valve defects, coronary artery disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart failure and arrhythmias. You can come to my office for a follow-up visit for chronic heart disease or to investigate a new symptom, for example, if you have chest pain, decreased physical performance, feelings of arrhythmia or shortness of breath. I have a personal interest in endurance sports and the related physiological adaptations.

In my office, I strive to understand the person's individual situation and to explain things clearly and comprehensibly.

Please bring a current medication list and any previous medical reports with you to the appointment. If you have previously had heart examinations (e.g. heart ultrasound, long-term ECG recording, stress test), please bring the reports with you to the appointment.

I treat clients over the age of 16, paediatricians and paediatric cardiologists treat heart issues in younger patients
