[Evaluation of severity of primary rheumocarditis in children by means of mathematical methods]

Symptom-complexes typical of severe, moderate and mild carditis were defined on the basis of a comprehensive clinical and instrumental examination of 450 children with proven primary rheumocarditis, and with the aid of mathematical techniques. These complexes may be used in rheumatological practice for differential evaluation of the severity of cardiac lesions in cases of primary rheumocarditis in children.
