C3A, Sc. 3, Et. 3, Ap. 43, Sector 3, București cod poștal tel/fax: Persoana de contact PR: Ştefan Gabriel Georgscu Cubrain Studio Agency Coordonator Executive PR Specialist Mobile: Acceptable antiarrhythmic therapy by monitoring, assessing its necessity and cardiac resynchronization (ICD-RCT) with an interval of one year Project Donation Design transmitted, on 9 April 2013, the second call humanitarian humanitarian campaign Help Stephen, a fundraising appeal for a prominent leader, auxiliary teaching staff, Mr. Stefan Gabriel Georgescu, trainer of leaders and student at Faculty of Security and Defence, National Defence University "Carol I" National defense Ministry. Mr. Stephen Gabriel Georgescu was diagnosed in 2009 and 2010 with chordae rupture of grade III / IV, severe mitral insufficiency previously the central scalopului regurgitate inspiratory collapse completely and multiple transient strokes. Subsequently Stephen Gabriel Georgescu diagnosis was performed implantation loop recorder (ILR) - heart rate monitoring device which helped for 2 years at diagnosis, complex electrophysiological study and ablation catheters were used for diagnosis - treatment AVRNT with radiofrequency for treatment of various heart rhythm disorders. Long delay from the time of diagnosis and the high costs of hospitalization and 13 december

2 treatment integration, Stefan Gabriel Georgescu entered the study with resynchronization implantation cardio stimulator in August 2012 in an already advanced stage of the disease, the condition health and deteriorated alarmingly. During the first year of synchronized cardiac treatment was considered, responder resynchronization therapy DDD bicameral type which, according to British cardiologists, is the only specific antiarrhythmic treatment proved to be effective in reducing the risk of sudden death of his fulfilling the following criteria: fatigue assessed by clinical improvement in work area, increase the distance traveled by at least 10 % in 6-minute walk test, the increase in LVEF by 5% and a decrease in left ventricular end-diastolic volume of at least 15 %, health improving its considerably, as confirmed by the fact that Mr. Stephen Gabriel Georgescu fully recovered activity and resuming his responsibilities. After the first year of synchronized cardiac treatment was considered, responder resynchronization therapy DDD bicameral type which, according to British cardiologists, is the only specific antiarrhythmic treatment proved to be effective in reducing the risk of sudden death of his fulfilling the following criteria: improvement fatigue assessed by the clinical work area, increase the distance traveled by at least 10% in 6-minute walk test, the increase in LVEF by 5% and a decrease in left ventricular end-diastolic volume of at least 15% of its health improving considerably, confirmed that Mr. Stefan Gabriel Georgescu fully recovered activity and resuming his responsibilities. During the fourth stage of resynchronization achieved aritmology clinic on November 29, 2013 in London, develop mitral insufficiency and marked shortening of left ventricular filling by modifications, access routes angle probes implanted on both arteries. Asynchrony between and intra-ventricular was now essential strengthening therapy, with a quite important pathophysiological process that directly depressed left ventricular function, and causing the re-synchronization LV remodeling, as a result of heart failure, by inducing an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Patient being further international program of arrhythmias, which demonstrated the latest therapies performed that was in AV conduction and intra-ventricular delay further worsening LV dysfunction in patients with preexisting cardiomyopathy. Cardiac resynchronization therapies were applied in the first year of treatment at an interval of 6 months / year, expecting enforcing these resynchronization therapy and becoming visible after at least the first year of the first resynchronization performed. Treatment consists of a procedure resynchronization bicameral indefinitely complex, applying at an interval of one year as follows: for the fifth resynchronization therapy bicameral 13 december

3 type DDD - end of November (November 28 to ). Thus, to date, the cost of 3,700 pounds of annual private health insurance was 2014's likely because you've targeted those fully covered 2% of the funds raised Sensiblu Foundation. Thus, to date, the cost of private medical insurance 3,700 annual 2013 was possible because of you who have targeted 2% of the funds raised entirely covered Sensiblu Foundation. Currently expected effects of resynchronization therapy is long term and should become visible after at least the first year of the first resynchronization performed. Please pass on this message to colleagues and friends share it on your social networks so we can provide air transport costs and accommodation of 6 in 6 months / year, the continuation of the bicameral cardiac resynchronization therapy DDD type for Mr. Stefan Gabriel Georgescu. Continuing resynchronization therapy DDD bicameral type and surgery were made possible by fundraising campaign initiated first and second stage treatment by project design and subsequently Donation Sensiblu Foundation. Please note that these treatments are the latest generation cardiac resynchronization and ensuring only chance of survival in these patients with DDD pacemakers type permanent bicameral, with the latest available technologies and improve existing therapies, reducing unnecessary stimulation of intact atrio-ventricular conduction in patients, for which there were no specific cardiac resynchronization therapy effective in the last thirty years, for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. There is no reason to treat asymptomatic ventricular arrhythmias in the absence of these potential benefits. On May 15, 2013 Mr. Stefan Gabriel Georgescu, was admitted to the clinic to be taken into account and made a clinico-biological revaluation, after which it received from leaving the hospital and the medical certificate issued definitive negative opinion the Institute of Emergency for Cardiovascular Diseases "CC Iliescu", Bucharest, following diagnosis: Pacing to work effectively with functional disorders small iatrogenic complete heart block. Ablation of the slow pathway that cannot be controlled in Romania. The patient cannot be questioned in the country. We cannot control this device" is irreversible and past IC NYHA class III criteria for admission to medical and psychosocial disabilities. Inclusion criteria were patients with heart failure refractory to maximal medical treatment was in NYHA functional class III -IV who remain symptomatic despite optimal resynchronization therapy, LV ejection fraction (EF % ) 40 % critical, end-diastolic diameter LV > 29 mm, decreased right ventricular systolic diameter > 39mm, AS increased size > 31mm, narrow QRS escape rhythm and effective refractory node- atrio-ventricular 400/200ms. 13 december

4 Remember that this cardio stimulator permanent bicameral type INGENIO J173 DR DDD is the next generation being purchased only in conjunction with a Latitude Communicator (Patient Management System), manufactured by Boston Scientific. According authorized representative in Romania Medison Pharma acquisition system programmer and LATITUDE Communicator has not been imported, distributed or used in Romania until now, they being made only in certain regions through a phased plan launched by Boston Scientific and Medison Pharma only through authorized channels. Data provided by Boston Scientific medical devices are not part of those contained in the National Cardiology in 2013 the Ministry of Health through the lengthy process of "realesed". Until now, dedicated to ensuring cost medical treatment and surgery resynchronization have amounted to over 227,000 being covered from various sources of funding, including funds raised in the campaign conducted humanitarian initial 2010 Sensiblu Foundation. Humanitarian Campaign Help Stephen!, The project design and subsequently Donation Sensiblu Foundation, Mr Stephen Gabriel Georgescu continues by appealing to the general public by press agencies, his friends, NGOs, academic institutions, colleagues, the business and to all who can support with any financial contribution on further medical checks in the UK.
