This specialty combines cardiology, cardiac surgery, engineering, radiology and prevents sudden death from heart diseases. Very often, when we perform the surgery, we go through the vein and perform surgery inside the heart. To prevent death from unexpected heart disease, we perform various surgeries, study heart rhythm disorders. Tomorrow we shall sum up results of Arrhythmologists’ Society’s work and discuss actual issues.
