ABSTRACT
A study of 70 teenagers between 11 and 15, whose parents had suffered, before they were 45, myocardial infarction in the presence of verified coronary arterial atherosclerosis, revealed no organic cardiac changes, while some signs of neurocirculatory dystonia were combined with increased incidence of coronary risk factors and dyslipoproteinemia.

On the grounds of clinical, electro- and echo-cardiographic examination of 39 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from 3 to 15 years of age three types of this pathological condition are distinguished: asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis and symmetrical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The value of signs of hypertrophic myopathy obtained on clinical and instrumental examination is discussed. The high diagnostic value of echocardiography in the examination of patients is emphasized.
