CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS IN CHILDREN WITH LYMPHATIC DIATHESIS

Abstract

Currently, cardiovascular pathology is one of the leading
problems in children. Congenital heart defects are the largest nosological group in
terms of number and significance due to high detection and mortality rates among
the child population. According to modern statistics: for every 1000 newborns, 5-20
children are born with congenital heart defects. Also pays serious attention to the
course of congenital heart defects with background pathology, including lymphatic
diathesis in children. Lymphatic diathesis (LD) is characterized by the
chronicization of various acute inflammatory processes in the child’s body, the
development of secondary unclassified immunodeficiency, “lymphatic status” and
“sudden death” syndromes.
