Objective: Different heart rate disorders could be detected school children (SC) in our town. These changes are mainly caused by psychophysical condition, most of them are of inorganic genesis. But rarely they might have an organic cause.

Methods:  We examined the group of 50 children in elementary and Grammar school of both sexes, age between 7 and 18 years. We collected history data, performed routine laboratory checks (CBC and urine), surface electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitoring (HM) and exercise test (ET) and ECHO (echocardiography).

Results:  Surface ECG and HM with used to detect sinus rhythm, wondering pacemaker, nodalrhythm, supraventricular extrasystols and ventricular ES. In four patients (pts) we detected benign ventricular tachycardia on HM. ECHO was normal in 30 pts. In 3 pts show aortic stenosis (1 pts have VT on HM), in 17 cases show prolapsus valvule mitralis.

Conclusion:  Heart rate disturbances in school patient in our town are mainly benign.
