Assoc. Prof. Inna V. DRUK specializes at the intersection of cardiology and endocrinology — primarily in heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes, cardiometabolic comorbidity, and cardiac rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome; therefore, the topic of her report was related to cardiovascular risks in patients with diabetes and metabolic disorders.
The symposium continued with a presentation by Yulia E. YUKHINA, Prof. Asst. of the OSMU Department of Internal and Family Medicine, including Postgraduate Training Courses, Head of the day hospital at Omsk Clinical Cardiology Dispensary, and winner of the regional stage of the Russian Competition of Doctors in the “Best Cardiologist” category in 2026 about hyporesponse to statin therapy in patients with very high cardiovascular risk.
Thus, leading cardiologists examined the most pressing issues related to heart failure in Russia over the course of two days, during plenary sessions and symposia, as well as through an exhibition of pharmaceutical companies, including issues related to the organization of specialized services and providing care to patients with end‑stage disease.
