I had arrhythmia since childhood. Doctors prohibited me from doing sports, except chess, but in my teenage years I successfully ignored their recommendations and started doing sports. At 17, I was diagnosed with WPW syndrome. Over time, the arrhythmia stopped occurring in everyday life and appeared only occasionally during extreme physical exertion, which caused a loss of power during sports and increased the risk of injury during freeriding, rafting, rope jumping, cross-country cycling races, and other activities. Several years ago, I decided to restore my health and athletic fitness as much as possible. I searched for a doctor based on specialists’ recommendations. At the initial appointment, Evgeny Igorevich assessed my condition and, based on previous studies, suggested radiofrequency ablation of the accessory conduction pathway. During the procedure, together with a team of equally competent colleagues, Evgeny Igorevich found and ablated the extra bundles of conducting fibers that caused the arrhythmia. I am completely satisfied with the operation. A couple of weeks after surgery, I had already tested my “new engine firmware” on a rafting trip down the Krasnenkaya River, over class 4 and 5 rapids. My heart works perfectly — it did not even falter. Thank you very much!

Many thanks to Dmitry Viktorovich for the successful complex surgery involving multiple bypass grafts on my heart. The operation took place on May 29, 2026, and within a day I was transferred from the ICU to the ward. A week later, I was already home. Now I understand the expression “golden hands” much better. My cardiac history began back in 2002, when I suffered a heart attack at the age of 35 without realizing it at the time. Dmitry Viktorovich understood my situation, explained all the risks and the need for intervention — after all, two arteries were completely blocked and the third was 50% blocked — made the only correct decision, and carried it out in practice. I went to the professor without anxiety, because, according to a knowledgeable friend, there is probably no better professional in St. Petersburg. Once again, thank you to all the staff, and especially to Professor D. V. Shmatov, for the surgery and treatment.

On May 18, I was admitted to this wonderful clinic, and already on May 19, I underwent surgery. Everything went perfectly; I did not even notice any difficulties. Thanks to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, I recovered very quickly. He was very attentive to me and explained everything very clearly. He performed my surgery and then stayed with me throughout the entire period. He became like a father to me. From the bottom of my heart, I express my deep gratitude to Alexey Alexandrovich and the entire staff of the cardiac surgery and intensive care departments.
