Stanislav Pekarskiy, MD, PhD is a cardiologist and leading researcher at the Laboratory of Roentgen-Endovascular Surgery at the Cardiology Research Institute of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center (NRMC), Russia. He graduated from the Tomsk Medical Institute in 1992 with a degree in General Medicine and completed his clinical residency in 1994 at the Siberian State Medical University. In 1997, he earned his PhD in cardiology after defending a dissertation on the antihypertensive effects of ramipril in patients with essential arterial hypertension. He later obtained a doctoral degree in cardiology in 2015 for his work on minimally traumatic renal sympathetic denervation for treating resistant hypertension. Pekarskiy has worked at the Tomsk Research Institute of Cardiology since 1997, progressing from research fellow to senior researcher and currently serving as a leading researcher. His scientific work focuses on minimally invasive endovascular treatments for arterial hypertension, particularly renal denervation, as well as advanced methods for analyzing 24-hour blood pressure patterns and studying cardiovascular adaptation to gravitational stress. He is a member of several national and European cardiology societies and has received multiple regional awards for his contributions to medical science.
