Almaty surgeons perform implantation of subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator

27.11.2020 17:53 6239 A surgery was performed today using innovative technologies in the Scientific Research Institute of Cardiology and Internal Diseases in Almaty. A patient was at a risk of a sudden cardiac arrest, which is why surgeons implanted him with a cardioverter-defibrillator with a subcutaneous electrode. This device automatically detects a cessation of the heartbeat and sends an electrical impulse. This stimulates the heart. “It will be located in the armpit area and is implanted under the skin. Accordingly, it does not hinder the hand movement of the patient. Most importantly, it can recognize ventricular fibrillation, which is incompatible with life, give shocks and revive the patient. The Institute of Cardiology was one of the first to perform this surgery,” said Roin Rekvava, Head of Arrythmology Department at the Research Institute of Cardiology and Internal Diseases.

Scientists begin to produce new radiopharmaceutical for diagnosis of heart diseases

Moreover, the new drug can be used to diagnose breast, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer TOMSK, December 7. /TASS/. Scientists at Tomsk Polytechnic University became the first in Russia to start producing and supplying to the Research Institute of Cardiology a radiopharmaceutical based on thallium-199 isotope, which allows to quickly and accurately diagnose heart pathologies, in particular, ischemic disease. In contrast to the thallium-201 drug used for these purposes, it is easier for the patient to tolerate, has less radiation exposure and is quickly eliminated from the body, the press service of the Tomsk university told reporters. “Both in the world and in Russia, a drug with thallium-201 isotope is traditionally used for diagnostics in cardiology. Tomsk Polytechnic University has developed its own technology for obtaining thallium-199. Its half-life amounts to 7.4 hours, which is almost ten times less than thallium-201. This means that it is softer , gives less dose to the
