Sažetak
Heart transplantation, electrophysiological procedures,pacemaker therapy, electromechanical pump replacement, are some of the new methods, which are now frequently used, bringing new challenges to the patients and doctors who participate in their follow up. Our county has about 80,000 inhabitants. In the last seven years, four heart transplantations were performed, four built-in electrical cardioverter
defibrillators (ICD), two cardiac resynchronization pacemakers, two ES with epicardial electrodes were placed, with 21 catheter ablations
done, and more than 70 patients underwent regular ES installation for total atrioventricular block. In this article we present procedures performed in our patients. Our aim is to estimate the possibility of
monitoring them by the cardiologist and also by the family doctor. We want to show advantages of modern cardiology that provides good quality of life after cardiac interventions. The article will point
the progress of electro-industry which has become an important part of surgical disciplines. Expecting good quality of life for our patients who will be monitored by the cardiologist and the family doctor, we would like to make this issue familiar to all participants in the patients’ follow up.
