Dr. Soran has been involved in most of EECP research in USA for more than 10 years time, as a leading investigator in many of them..

She also greatly contributed to the recognition and commencement of this treatment in USA, Europe and other countries as well as in Turkey with her more then 50 very attractive and admiringly followed conferences all over the world.

At the time when I had questions in my mind concerning “the reported unbelievably favorable effects of such a simple looking treatment modality in cardiac patients”, she kindly entertained and generously helped me to clear up my mind and also to learn the details of EECP application during my one week visit to Pittsburgh in August 2001, and encouraged me to concentrate all my efforts on EECP therapy for the following years.

Therefore, I myself personally feel deep gratitute to Dr. Soran, whose success in her career is a source of honour to all of us.
