Abstract
To reveal incidence of genotypes and alleles with regard to polymorphism of β1 adrenoreceptor gene and the transcription factor SP4, the medical exam and genetic tests were performed in the sick sinus syndrome patients, their relatives of relation degrees I, II, and III, and in the control group subjects.

Abstract
The data of the examination, management, and long-term follow-up (21.2±8.4 months) of 6 patients aged 19 51 years from unrelated families with suspected Brugada syndrome are given.

Abstract
To assess the effect of radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrio-ventricular junction accompanied by cardiac pacemaker implantation on cognitive dysfunction in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation accompanied by tachycardia, 17 patients aged 55.3±4.5 years (4 males and 13 females) were examined.

Abstract
To assess the clinical and morphological state of the coronary sinus and the potential role of its alterations in the arrhythmogenesis in patients with chronic heart failure, 160 patients (mean age 66 years) were examined; 30 hearts of both women and men were assessed with light microscopy.

Abstract
To assess the clinical course of the coronary artery disease, 161 patients who underwent aortocoronary and/or mammarocoronary bypass grafting surgery in 1982 through 2005 in cardiac surgery hospitals in St. Petersburg were examined.

Abstract
To compare the sinus rhythm intervals and pre-ectopic intervals, 449 patients with coronary artery disease, 94 subjects with rheumatic valvular disease, and 112 ones with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were examined.

Abstract
Mechanisms of the cerebral perfusion control in patients with neurocardiogenic syncope and methods of their assessment on the basis of the perfusion velocity measurement in the medial cerebral artery by transcranial dopplerography are considered.

Abstract
A case report of a hybrid approach for management of a 17 year old male patient with chronic atrial fibrillation/flutter is given. Due to the presence of a thrombus in the left auricle, under the conditions of cardiopulmonary bypass, hypothermia, and pharmaco-cold cardioplegia, the modified procedure “labyrinth 3” was performed initially, with subsequent the radiofrequency pulmonary vein ostia isolation.

Abstract
A case report of examination of a 15 year old male patient with WPW syndrome due to existence of a parahisial accessory pathway and his treatment by repetitive radiofrequency catheter ablations is given.

Abstract
The results of examination and circular isolation of vestibular part of pulmonary veins are presented for a 45 year old male patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, in whom ineffective radiofrequency ablation ofganglionary plexuses of the left atrium was carried out.

Abstract
A clinical case report is presented of a female patient with combination of neurocardiogenic syncope and temporal lobe epilepsy, which required not only implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker with the Sudden Rate Responsefunction but the treatment with Carbamazepine.

Abstract
A case report of examination and treatment of a female patient with atypical dislocation of the atrial electrode for permanent cardiac pacing because of the iatrogenic sick sinus syndrome is provided.
