Abstract
Modern recommendations of clinical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) are based on strategies of retention of the
rhythm or frequency of ventricular contractions, so the appeal to the class of AF in a patient is not so relevant. In
fact, patients with persistent and long-standing persistent forms of AF need to increase the volume of exposure,
both in radiofrequency ablation and in surgical procedures, which is directly related to the degree of atrial remodeling.
The purpose of our publication was to evaluate the clinical and scientific activities of the laboratory of intraoperative
diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias in the light of the study of the mechanisms of AF and their influence
on the tactics of treating these patients.
For the reporting year 1821 procedure was performed in the laboratory for 1118 patients: 815 diagnostic and
1006 medical procedures. Compared with previous years, the number of procedures has increased. The overall
dynamics of the interventional work of the laboratory shows a positive movement relative to 2016, which is directly
related to the active work on the medical health insurance program.
During the reporting year, the laboratory published 6 articles, including one in the foreign press, 18 lectures were
read. In 2017, the scientific work was continued within the framework of the complex theme "Studying the mechanisms
of atrial fibrillation, the determination of rational tactics of treatment of various forms and methods of preoperative,
intraoperative and postoperative assessment of the functioning of the atrium and electrophysiological
characteristics of the myocardium". Most of the scientific research of the laboratory is carried out within the framework
of this topic.
