[Dysplastic cardiopathy concurrent with the heart rhythm and conductivity disturbances in adolescents]

Clinical-and-hemodynamic features have been studied of dysplastic cardiopathy presenting with disturbances of the heart's rhythm and conductivity in 90 boys and girls 12-18 years old. It has been ascertained that high degree of the mitral valve prolapse, multiple abberrant chords, local hypertrophy of the left ventricle are predictors of development of arrhythmias in juveniles with dysplastic cardiopathy. The intracardiac hemodynamics has been found to be affected by "small" cardiac stigmas of dysembryogenesis. There was noted a decline in the heart's pumping and contractile functions resulting in formation of hypokinetic type hemodynamics. The findings secured attest to the need for a case follow-up of those patients who are at high risk for development of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy presenting with development of irreversible or refractory to correction complications.
