Information on the essential aspects of prevalence, etiology and pathogenesis of coronary heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the world, is given in this article. It is emphasized that the incidence of ischemic coronary events is the result of a complex sequence of pathogenetic links, which involves the formation of atherosclerotic lesions and destabilization as the primary provoking factor.
Purpose - the attraction of the medical community attention to the problem of ischemic heart disease in children.
A clinical case of recurrent myocardial infarction in a child who was examined and treated at the MNPE «Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council», is described here. The key points of the patient’s complaints, anamnesis of life and this disease are described, the data of the objective condition at the hospitalization and during dynamic observation of the child, which showed the signs of left ventricular overload, coronary blood flow disorder, dilatation of the left heart ventricles, decreased left ventricular contractility. The data of the main indices of laboratory and instrumental methods of research, including X-ray diagnostic methods, performed not only on the basis of the department, but also in the Scientific-Practical Medical Center of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (Kyiv). The treatment of this clinical case in the child is described in this article. The data of dynamic observation are given. The discussion and conclusions emphasize the problem of coronary insufficiency in pediatrics, which requires clinical understanding, the choice of the correct diagnostic algorithm and qualified medical care.
The study was performed in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent of the child’s parents was obtained for the research conduction.
No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
