В современных условиях большая доля хирургических вмешательств по поводу врожденных пороков сердца осуществляется именно в младенческом возрасте, что требует от врача-диагноста углубленных знаний анатомо-физиологических особенностей сердечно-сосудистой системы этого периода.

В данном учебном пособии представлен анализ электрокардиографических изменений у детей первого года жизни с врожденными пороками сердца. Пособие содержит сведения о возрастных особенностях электрокардиограммы с учетом того факта, что нормальная ЭКГ детей раннего возраста существенно отличается от таковой у более старших детей. Даны также общие сведения по изменениям ЭКГ при врожденных пороках сердца, актуализированные для раннего возрастного периода. Далее приведены клинические примеры детей с врожденными пороками сердца с подробным анализом ассоциации между ЭКГ-феноменами и анатомическими изменениями в сердце, что, по мнению авторов, позволит практическому врачу повысить возможности диагностического поиска и понимания роли ЭКГ на разных этапах хирургического лечения врожденных пороков сердца у детей раннего возраста.

Учебное пособие предназначено для практикующих врачей - детских кардиологов, неонатологов и педиатров, но также может быть полезным при обучении студентов и клинических ординаторов по соответствующим специальностям.
