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!
