Features of working in a general internal medicine unit

The introduction of new laboratory and instrumental diagnostics methods calls for cooperation with the specialized medical care centers. Dobrobut clinic provides an individual approach to each patient with a clear understanding of the necessity to choose in the process of cardiac patients’ treatment between adequate pharmacologic therapy or interventional methods of diagnosis and treatment.’

The most common complains
