It should be noted that as a result of measures to reform the healthcare system in our country, the specialized medical service is also being radically updated. An important legal basis for this is the presidential decree of June 20, 2017 "On measures for the further development of specialized medical care for the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2017-2021."Республиканский специализированный научно-практический кардиологический центр

Within the framework of the document, the activities of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Cardiological Center are being improved. The commissioning of a modern building served as the basis for further expansion of scientific and practical activities in the field of cardiology. For a new system of clinical and functional examination of patients has been created that meets international standards. Now patients can undergo examinations in one building: the department of functional diagnostics operates such high-tech rooms with ECG, ECHOKG, VEM, Treadmill test, HMECG, as well as rooms for X-ray, genetic analysis and administration.

On the second floor there is a department of interventional arrhythmology with 20 beds, an X-ray operation unit with all the amenities. On the third, there is a block of interventional cardiology and X-ray endovascular surgery. They can carry out all interventional surgical operations used in world medicine.

The state has allocated more than 20 billion soums for the construction of a new building. At the same time, the most modern high-quality foreign construction and cosmetic materials were used. The installed ventilation system "CIAT" was brought from abroad and allows keeping the same temperature in the room in winter and summer, fills it with clean air. Double rooms are spacious, light and comfortable. Functional patient beds can be moved.

Large funds and foreign investments have been allocated to equip the building with modern technology. In particular, a loan of 3.5 million euros, allocated by the German bank KFW, was used to install universal angiographic equipment of the Philips Allura Xper FD20 brand, the BARD system for electrophysiological examinations, moving angiographic equipment, a radio frequency generator and other high-tech devices.

The building also provides classrooms for the Department of Cardiology of the Tashkent Institute for Advanced Training of Doctors, a meeting room, a library, a museum of cardiology, and education rooms. This allows us to improve the achievements of science and medicine, to apply them in practice.

“Prevention of cardiovascular diseases, their early detection and effective treatment are an urgent task of world medicine,” says the director of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Cardiological Center, Academician Ravshanbek Kurbanov. - The commissioning of a new building gives us the opportunity to carry out the most important tasks in this direction. Now, in the new building, along with the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, their diagnosis and treatment on a systemic basis, we can carry out coronary angiography and stenting operations on more than one thousand patients a year. This method prevents mycardial infarction, which is considered the most acute cardiovascular disease. The center is already successfully performing high-tech methods - radiofrequency ablation for complex cardiac arrhythmias and pacing for heart block.

Undoubtedly, the actual task is the implementation of the above methods in practice in the regions. Work in this direction is already underway. In particular, in the Namangan branch of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Cardiology Center, in medical institutions of Khorezm, Fergana, Bukhara, Samarkand, Navoi regions, the Republic of Karakalpakstan, coronary angiography and stenting operations are already being carried out.

With the construction of a new modern building in the center, the quality and efficiency of diagnostics and treatment will increase. The use of the achievements of interventional cardiology will reach a new stage. These measures are important factors in increasing the effectiveness of reforms in the name of human interests, achieving a healthy and high level of life expectancy of the population.
