RESUMO
Estudar incidência e repercussöes de cardiopatias sobre o estado nutricional de crianças. Duzentas crianças, dispostas em 3 grupos: 1) 113 (56,5%) com forma congênita acianótica; 2) 19 (9,5%) com forma congênita cianótica; e 3) 68 (34%) com forma adquirida, que freqüentaram o ambulatório de cardiologia pediátrica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeiräo Preto da USP de 1987 a 1990. A média etária foi de 5,1 ñ 0,4 anos e 56% eram masculinos. Os diagnósticos mais freqüentes foram comunicaçäo interventricular (51 casos), comunicaçäo interatria (21 casos), valvopatias adquiridas (21 casos), arritmias benignas (20 casos), comprometimento cardíaco secundário a doenças sistêmicas (20 casos) e tetralogia de Fallot (8 casos). A maioria (92%) das crianças era portador de índice nutricional entre os percentis 5 abaixo do percentil 5 e apenas 4 (2%) acima do 95, consideradas obesas. Na comparaçäo entre os valores médios de índice nutricional, observou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa (p < 0,05) para os 3 grupos, o pior para as formas congênitas cianóticas e o melhor para as formas adquiridas. As cardiopatias na infância associam-se a reduçäo do índice nutricional na maioria dos casos
ABSTRACT
Purpose ­ To study heart disease in childhood aiming to know its incidence and consequences upon the nutritional status. Patients and Methods ­ Two-hundred patients were distributed in three groups: 1)113 (56.5%) with congenital acianotic form; 2) 19 (9.5%) with congenital cianotic form; and 3) 68 (34%) with acquired forms. All of them regularly visiting the ambulatory service of Paediatric cardiology of the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da USP from 1987 until 1990. Results ­ The majority (92%) of the children (being 56% male and aging 5.1 ± 0.4 years-old) showed nutritional indexes between 5 and 95 (percentil scale). The overall diagnosis distribution were: 1) ventricular septal defect (51 cases); 2) atrial septal defect (21 cases); 3) valvular diseases (21 cases); 4) arrhythmias (20 cases); 5) cardiac involvement of systemic diseases (20 cases); and 6) tetralogy complex (8 cases). Twelve patients (6%) were underscored (below percentil 5) and only 4 (2%) scored above percentil 95 (obese patients). The comparison of the mean indexes were found statistical different (p < 0.05), being the cianotic congenital forms the worst ones and the acquired forms the best one. Conclusion ­ Heart disease in childhood is associated to nutritional index deficits in the majority of the cases.
