[Prevention of sudden cardiac death by the implantable cardioverter defibrilator].

INTRODUCTION; Sudden cardiac death or, as it is also called, a modern man's killer occurs a few hours after the beginning of the disease. Sudden death is the one that happens within an hour from the onset of the subjective discomforts regardless of the existence of any previous disease. According to modern statistics, 450.

[Modern pacemaker therapy].

Introduction: Pacemakers are devices that modern medicine and cardiology cannot be imagined without. The technique of implantation comes to surgical procedure where all principles of asepsis and antisepsis have to be respected. Although some complications do happen, the)y are rather rare.

[Ventricular fibrillation after surgical revascularization].

Introduction: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) presents a complete disintegrated myocardial activity associated with hemodynamic collapse and loss of consciousness requiring urgent reanimation. VF mostly occurs following myocardial infarction and endstage of ischemic heart disease in patients with ejection fraction less than 30%.

Material And Methods: This paper analyzes occurrence of VF following coronary artery revascularization in patients undergoing surgery at the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Sremska Kamenica.

[Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia].

Introduction: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), disease of uncertain etiology, is characterized by fibrofatty collections in the right ventricular myocardium, premature ventricular complexes with left bundle branch block (LBBB) morphology, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.

Goals: To point out diagnostic methods for this progressive disease and to analyze differential diagnosis and significance of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in young, active athletes.

Results: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular disease can be asymptomatic or manifested (syncope).
