Over a hundred people suffering from cardiac arrhythmia have been treated by a new method, that has appeared last year in our country. Thus, these pathologies can be also treated by surgery.
This is possible thanks to a powerful machine, brought from Czech Republic.
The pacient Efimia Rau is 56-years-old and suffers from cardiac arrhythmia for four years already. After only one day after surgery, the woman says that her life has changed radically.
The procedure is called ablation and has arrived in Moldova last year from the Czech Republic. Through this, hundreds of people return to normal life.

Cardiac arrhythmia is the cause of death of more than 20-per-cent of patients suffering from heart diseases in the country.
