The proposed work is devoted to a socially significant problem of modern healthcare – providing medical care to children with cardiovascular diseases in the Republic of Tatarstan. Cardiovascular diseases are recognized by the world community as a problem that has reached the scale of a pandemic. Scientific epidemiological studies both in Russia and around the world constantly demonstrate the global prevalence of heart and vascular diseases in all age groups.

The experience of economically developed countries shows that the main condition for improving health and increasing life expectancy of the population is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in childhood. The high level of mortality from cardiovascular diseases among the population is a feature of the medical and demographic situation in Russia at the end of the 20th century, 3 times higher than in the United States, Japan and Western Europe, including the average child population. Over the past decades, along with a decrease in all-cause mortality in children under 14 years of age, mortality from circulatory diseases has increased, and from congenital heart defects has remained at the same level. These unfavorable trends were typical for all age groups of the child population, including among newborns (infant mortality).

The current situation dictated the need to recognize early diagnosis and improve treatment and preventive care for children with cardiovascular diseases, a priority area of children's health in Russia.

The results of the team's work are presented by the defense of 7 dissertations. Research is being conducted on 20 topical scientific topics related to the issues of cardiovascular disorders in children. In the period from 2000 to 2020, the staff presented their work at more than 200 scientific and practical events (congresses, conferences, scientific symposiums, teleconferences, master classes), including foreign ones-88 - thVirtualCongressofEuropeanAtherosclerosisSociety(EAS2020), the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC2020) and many others. In 2015, the Republic of Tatarstan won the right to host the All-Russian seminar dedicated to the memory of Professor N. A. Belokon, the founder of pediatric cardiology in the Russian Federation. In the period from 2000 to 2020, 293 scientific papers were written and published, including 30 publications in foreign sources. 13 monographs, 9 patents were issued, 8 teaching aids and methodological recommendations were prepared and published, among them: 1 recommended UMO for medical and pharmaceutical education of Russian universities.

On the basis of the Department of Hospital Pediatrics of the Kazan State Medical University, programs of advanced training and professional retraining for doctors in the specialty "Pediatric Cardiology" have been developed and implemented. Over the past ten years, more than 3 thousand doctors have been trained.
