PECULIARITIES OF ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN CHILDREN WITH MINOR ANOMALIES OF HEART DEVELOPMENT

Echocardiography (EchoCG) has opened up broad prospects for in vivo study of the morphology of the valvular apparatus and the connective tissue frame of the heart. It became possible, in addition to congenital malformations, to detect small structural changes - small anomalies in the development of the heart. We studied 95 children of preschool and school age with connective tissue dysplasia and small heart development abnormalities. One of the most informative methods for diagnosing diseases of the heart and blood vessels is echocardiography. Diagnostically valuable results of echocardiographic examination in children with cardiovascular pathology against the background of small anomalies of heart development are: disturbance of the heart rhythm and conduction, increase in EDV of the left ventricle and ejection fraction.
