Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Chronic heart failure has become a significant health problem. Cardiac surgery has an important role in the treatment of patients with heart failure. There are traditional surgical techniques in cardiac surgery - coronary revascularization, valve surgery, ventricular reconstructive surgery as well as new surgical techniques - cardiac support device (CorCap), mechanical circulatory support and resynchronization therapy. Cardiac surgery has a definitive role in the treatment algorithm for chronic heart failure.
