Objective:
We want to establish essential diagnostic criteria for ventricular
dysrrhythmia (VDR) in children.
Methods:
We use neinvasive diagnostic test: Auscultation hearts beat (ahb),
electrocardiogram (ECG), X-ray, echocardiography (echo), Holter monitoring
(HM) and routine laboratory analysis (la).
Results:
VDR was classified according to the Garson and Gillete. Separate test was
done on patient (pts) 91 with rare, frequent and paired VDR and 9 pts with
ventricular tachycardia (VT). In all pts X-ray, echo and la where normal.
On HM we analyzed heart contraction (hc) lowest, mean and highest
frequencies, VES/24 hours and max VES per hours, than daily/night
distribution VDR. In two to cases we started with therapy (amiodaron)-pts.
Have sustained VT. In remain pts. Our research show that VDR self generated
reduction during observation period.
Conclusion:
The neinvasive cardiology test is inaf for diagnosis VDR in children.
