Abstract:
Coronary artery disease of infants and children are reported. The paper deals with congenital coronary anomalies which appear either isolated or in combination of cardiac or vascular malformations. Acquired coronary diseases appear with periarteriitis nodosa, Kawasaki syndrome, arteriopathia calcificans and infantile arteriosclerosis. It is referred to etiology, clinical symptoms and therapy for each group of coronary disease with an emphasis on prevention.
