[Integral electrocardiotopography in children and its diagnostic value]. / Integral'naia élektrokardiotopografiia u detei i ee diagnosticheskoe znachenie.

Biopotentials of the heart were studied in 120 normal children aged 3 to 14 years by means of integral electrocardiotopography. The data obtained made it possible to reveal a number of common mechanisms characteristic of the child's body: the presence of pathway zones, the multipolar type of potential distribution, high degree of minimal potentials according to the electropositivity and electronegativity charts, high degree of the gradient according to the electropositivity charts, and the presence of the zones with dipole span. The results of the studies may be regarded as new perspective approaches to further improvement of the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in children with the aid of integral electrocardiotopography.
