General direction of department work is control and regulation of immunological mechanisms
in cardiac surgery patients with various cardiovascular diseases.
Studying of immune status of patients is held for prognosing, early diagnostics,

Mechanisms of immunpathological processes in patients with primary and secondary
(on the background of rheumatism) infective endocarditis (IE), in patients with complex congenital heart disease
and in patients with tumors of the heart are studied.
