Dr. Dmitry Sokolov

Dr. Dmitry Sokolov is a senior cardiologist at Sechenov University Clinic, one of Russia's oldest and most prestigious academic medical centres in Moscow. With over 22 years of clinical and research experience, he specialises in interventional cardiology and heart failure management. Sechenov University, founded in 1758, operates one of the largest cardiology departments in the Russian Federation, combining cutting-edge interventional capabilities with a strong tradition of medical research. Dr. Sokolov brings together clinical excellence in coronary intervention with an evidence-based approach to chronic heart failure, serving a complex patient population including post-infarction and valvular heart disease cases.

Dr. Sokolov obtained his MD from I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, followed by a PhD and the prestigious Russian academic designation of Doctor of Medical Sciences — reflecting sustained and substantial independent research contribution. He completed his residency and specialist training in cardiology within the Sechenov system, with additional training in interventional cardiology including coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and cardiac catheterisation. He has undertaken observational training at European cardiology centres and regularly participates in ESC Congress to align his practice with European guidelines.

Dr. Sokolov performs diagnostic coronary angiography, primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction, and elective PCI for stable coronary artery disease, including complex bifurcation lesions and chronic total occlusion (CTO) procedures. His heart failure practice covers the full spectrum from newly diagnosed systolic dysfunction to advanced heart failure requiring mechanical circulatory support evaluation. He manages hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) patient selection. He also provides echocardiographic assessment for valvular heart disease and pre-operative cardiac risk evaluation.
