This review presents current data on the causes, pathogenesis of development from the standpoint of electrophysiology of the cardiac conduction system of the WPW syndrome, and also discusses the methods of diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome in childhood. Particular attention is paid to the role of anatomical and physiological features, the development of the autonomic nervous system and the formation of the cardiac conduction system in children. The role of connective tissue dysplasia and the presence of an inflammatory process in the cardiac system are considered among the possible causes of WPW syndrome today. A comparative characteristic of antiarrhythmic therapy in children for the prevention of tachycardia attacks is provided, and some indications for radiofrequency ablation and its effectiveness in children with this pathology are presented.

The choice of anticoagulant, the number of antiplatelet agents and the duration of antithrombotic therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome with indications for oral anticoagulants, in particular for atrial fibrillation, remain complex and ambiguous. On the one hand, the development of acute coronary syndrome requires the appointment of dual antiplatelet therapy, on the other, the combined use of anticoagulant and antiaggregants significantly increases hemorrhagic risks. There is a clinical situation, when you need a clear knowledge of the strategy and choice of antithrombotic drugs, in particular the knowledge about the balance between the risk of developing stent thrombosis, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. In the presented review, the data concerning the regime of antithrombotic therapy are systematized in various types of acute coronary syndrome in patients with atrial fibrillation, depending on the choice of treatment tactics (pharmaco-invasive or conservative).

The aim to compare results of endovascular stenting of the outflow tract of the right ventricle and Blalock-Taussig shunt before radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot in children.

Endothelial dysfunction is considered as one of the links between pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. To evaluate the dynamics of endothelial function in patients with dyslipidemia and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, receiving atorvastatin.

To assess calcium deposition in standard and decellularized aortic allografts in animals, to evaluate calcium accumulation dynamics in standard aortic allografts in humans.

To identify laboratory characteristics of the vascular endothelium function in working age population with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome based on the level of endothelial dysfunction biochemical markers.

In cardiac surgery departments, repeated operations are increasingly performed in patients who have undergone valve correction or coronary bypass surgery in the past. The operational risk in this group of patients is much higher than in the group of primary operations, and is due to the adhesive process, the risk of re-access to the heart, various anatomical and pathological scenarios of pathology. A clinical case of a 47-year-old patient is presented. Primary surgery was performed in 2006 for aortic stenosis and aneurysm of the ascending aorta. On the second operation, the separation of the conduit of the ascending aorta and aortic valve, the complete separation of both ostiums of the coronary arteries with the formation of a false aneurysm of the ascending aorta was revealed. The patient underwent a replacement of the aortic valve, ascending aorta, the left coronary artery reimplantation, CABG to RCA. This case is of great interest due to the extremely rare occurrence of such a variant of pathology.

To study the influence of five metal complex compounds, derivatives of alkenyl imidazole, and two pharmaceutical drug products with the antihypoxic properties (hypoxen, mexidol) on the lifespan of mice under conditions of acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHBH).

To study structural and functional characteristics of platelets and erythrocytes in the pathogenesis of acute coronary injury of the myocardium in patients with acute coronary syndrome within three years.

High prevalence of chronic tonsillitis among the population makes it possible to call this disease socially significant. Due to the polymorphism of this pathology, as well as a high risk of occurrence and development of metatonsilogenic diseases and complications, doctors of various specialties (otorhinolaryngologists, cardiologists, rheumatologists, immunologists, therapists) deal with the problem of chronic tonsillitis, which indicates a multidisciplinary nature of chronic tonsillitis. This article outlines the general concepts of chronic tonsillitis (classification, etiology, pathogenesis mechanisms, treatment tactics, tonsilogenic disorders). Attention is focused on the study of tonsillogenic lesions of the heart (tonsillogenic cardiomyopathy), the mechanisms of their development and diagnostic methods. From the review it follows that tonsillectomy is the only effective method of treatment, as well as prevention of the development of metatonsilogenic complications of chronic tonsillitis.

The article deals with the problem of chronic heart failure (CHF) and its effect on renal function. The basic mechanisms of cardiorenal relationships are discussed. Information about modern pathogenetic tactics of CHF treatment concerning the renal effects is presented. The article describes research data related to the treatment of congestive heart failure resistant to diuretic drugs with the use of auxiliary equipment for dehydration.

The manuscript presents the experience of cardiac diagnostic and invasive therapeutic procedures availability increasing by example of The Ontario model for Cardiac Care / CorHealth Network to maintain and improve medical care for large population and geographic region. New PCI-capable hospitals were created across the province of Ontario and new management guideline for STEMI patients were introduced for the improvement of medical care access and it`s outcomes.

This article discusses the relationship between such terms as “vegetative crises” and “panic attacks”, their clinical picture, mental disorders with them, issues of diagnosis and, accordingly, approaches to treatment. One of the important activities of the Department of Vegetative Pathology under the guidance of the famous professor A.M. Wayne was the study of vegetative crises, which gradually became known by many as panic attacks. As far as the terms “vegetative crises” and “panic attacks” are equivalent, what do they have in common and how do they differ? What is the proportion of mental disorders with them? So far, in general practice there are no exact diagnostic criteria for these concepts. In this regard, it is often unclear what specialists should be engaged in them. In this regard, the purpose of this review is to conduct a more accurate differential diagnosis of these clinical forms, which manifestations unite them and whether they should be considered as independent disorders requiring different therapeutic approaches.
