Department of Surgical Treatment of Complex Heart Rhythm Disturbances and Pacing #2

The Department of Surgical Treatment of Complex Heart Rhythm Disturbances and Pacing #2 was opened at Tyumen Cardiology Research Center due to the intensive developing of arrythmology in science and clinic.

The department diagnoses and treats patients with complex rhythm and conduction disorders using methods that require cardiologists to have special skills and knowledge in the field of arrythmology. The department treats patients who are treated for arrhythmias with medications, as well as such high-tech medical care as implantation of various antiarrhythmic devices, catheter ablation of an arrhythmogenic focus. The department works in tight cooperation with the Department of X-Ray Endovascular Diagnostics & Treatment #2 (G. V. Kolunin, MD, Head of the department).

The department's patient population also includes patients with syncope of an unspecified nature, as well as patients with diseases or other signs indicating a high potential risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

The doctors of the department carry out extensive consultative work with patients with complex arrhythmias both at the stage of selection for inpatient (including surgical) treatment and in the postoperative period.

After performing high-tech interventions, doctors carry out constant dispensary monitoring of patients at the outpatient stage, using a personalized approach to each patient, as well as modern methods of remote monitoring.

A lot of attention is paid to the continuing education of physicians in the field of arrhythmology. For each doctor of the department, a plan has been developed for continuous training and improvement of the knowledge of diagnostic and treatment methods used in arrhythmology, such as: programming of modern implantable antiarrhythmic devices, transesophageal electrophysiological examination, daily ECG monitoring, high-resolution ECG.

The department is the clinical base of the scientific department of cardiac arrhythmias. Almost all doctors of the department, in addition to clinical work, are engaged in scientific work, have their own assignments and perform research as part of dissertations. This approach encourages the department's doctors to constantly improve their qualifications and follow modern requirements in medicine.

The scientific interest of the department's doctors is primarily aimed at identifying the mechanisms of development and progression of atrial fibrillation and related complications, as well as developing a personalized approach to choosing the optimal treatment strategy for such patients. This problem is especially relevant for patients living in the Far North, since they have additional aggravating factors that contribute to the earlier onset and more severe course of this arrhythmia.
