Diagnosis and treatment of heart and blood vessels in Russia

Modern domestic medicine has achieved significant success in the accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The most important thing is to undergo examinations on time, which is completely on the conscience of the patients. However, this applies only to large cities, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. In other settlements, the quality and degree of deterioration of the diagnostic equipment may not allow the diagnosis of diseases at an early stage.

With the timely detection of diseases, it is quite possible to cure them in Russia both medically and surgically, which will be much cheaper than abroad. For example, an operation to replace aortic valve in Moscow costs from 120 000 r to 587 000 r, and depending on the clinic. In Germany, the same procedure will cost 750,000 rubles - 1,950,000 rubles. In Israel, prices are slightly more democratic, but still higher than in Russia - 525,000 - 1,725,000 rubles.

The best cardiological clinics in Russia, according to the patients' opinions, are:

  1. .VA Almazov in St. Petersburg;
  2. Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery. AN Bakulev of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences in Moscow.

However, it is better to entrust the correction of congenital heart defects in young children or the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in pregnant women to German or Israeli specialists with more modern equipment.

In Russia, minimally invasive operations are developed on an insufficient level - they are performed without a cut of the thorax. For prosthetics of valves and correction of heart defects, operations on the open heart - with opening of the chest are still most often used. They are associated with high risks of complications and large blood loss, and also leave behind significant cosmetic defects.

Israel - the leader in the success of cardiovascular disease

The death rate from myocardial infarction in Israel is only 4.2%( for comparison: in Russia - 40%, in Europe - 6-12%, in the USA - 4,8%).This suggests a high effectiveness of treatment of cardiovascular diseases and the prevention of heart attack, as well as successful rehabilitation after it.

Israeli cardiology is famous for such achievements:

  1. Creation of the best stents for stenting of the coronary arteries( Cypher - stent with medicinal substance; Absorb - a self-resorbable stent).In Israel, stents with a special coating are manufactured, which provides prevention of thrombosis and re-narrowing of the artery. The operation for installing the stent is performed through the vessel - using a special long catheter, which is inserted through the radial artery on the wrist or femoral artery to the coronary arteries. That is, the operation does not require cuts. The cost of the stent installation procedure in the Ichilov clinic is 992 000 dollars.
  2. Development of an artificial titanium heart, which is temporarily installed by people waiting for organ transplantation and thus saves their lives.
  3. Unique minimally invasive operations for the elimination of heart defects in newborns.
  4. Special programs for the treatment of pregnant women with cardiovascular diseases.

Israeli clinics are famous not only for first-class specialists and modern equipment, but also for democratic prices, compared to Germany.
