Department of Coronary Insufficiency (Department of Cardiology # 3)

One of the main fields of CD #3 work is chronic heart failure which is a syndrome appearing due to the worsening of the pumping heart function that leads to the disability of a heart to provide normal blood supply of the entire organism.

Circulation of nutrients and oxygen disorder is happening. Pulmonary congestion appears and it prevents from normal oxygen supply and apnea reveals. Stagnation of blood in the systemic circulation disrupts the functioning of almost all organs and is accompanied by edema. Patients feel fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling of the legs and feet, pain or discomfort in the abdominal cavity due to liver enlargement. The main reasons of cardiac insufficiency are arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease, cardiac defects, arrhythmias, kidneys and thyroid body diseases, cardiomyopathies, inherited or received after infections, intoxications, metabolic and other disorders.

The department provides a full range of diagnostic measures, including coronary angiography, echocardiography, electrocardiography, daily ECG and blood pressure monitoring, general and biochemical blood tests. The selection of drug therapy is underway.
If medical treatment is not effective, then advanced interventional therapies are used, including percutaneous coronary interventions, implantation of pacemakers, and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
