On May 24-25, the Congress of Young Scientists took place in Tomsk National Research Medical Center. There were more than 280 specialists from Tomsk, Tyumen, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Novokuznetsk, Krasnoyarsk, Omsk, Rostov-on-Don, Surgut, Obninsk, Saint Petersburg and Moscow and foreign scientists from Ireland and the Netherlands.
Tyumen Cardiology Research Center was represented by Anna Soldatova, MD, Chairman of the Young Scientists Society and Nikita Shirokov, MD, Laboratory Researcher.
“My report was on an urgent issue of insufficient response on cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in patients with congestive heart failure,” told Anna. “It is the main field I’m interested in as a scientist. With a team of other scientists, we are searching for a good CRT response, a so-called super-response – the best reaction on the procedure. So we had a good chance to discuss different approaches to carry out more precise and individual examination.”
Anna also marked a high level of presentations on global health problems. The most interesting ones were on oncology and genetics.
Nikita Shirokov presented his report “Dyssynchrony dynamics in patients with congestive heart failure with a super-response on cardiac resynchronization therapy”. After the conference, he studied at Tomsk Cardiology Research Institute under the supervision of Prof. Elena Pavlyukova. He worked on ultrasound diagnostics of myocardial deformation– speckle-tracking imaging – that is useful for the diagnostics of heart dyssynchrony.
