Kazakhstan is the first among CIS and CA states to introduce novel technology for treating cardiac arrhythmias

Doctors of the UMC Heart Center for the first time in the CIS introduced the latest technology for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias widely used in the world’s leading clinics, Kazinform News Agency reports.

The FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System is an emerging technology known as a safer and more efficient way for treating cardiac arrhythmias.

Well-known cardiologist, Professor Serge Boveda from Clinique Pasteur, France, held a master class. Serge Boveda is also a secretary of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA).

The catheter-based ablation procedure takes just an hour so the patients may return to normal in a couple of days. It has favorable outcomes with a low number of complications.

Nearly 1,000 patients in Kazakhstan need treatment for atrial fibrillation annually. Thanks to the public quota they receive this cutting-edge treatment free of charge.
