Abstract:
Bronchial asthma (BA) is one from most frequent chronic obstructive bronchopulmonary
diseases in children. Conformable to ISAAC data (International Study of Asthma and
Allergy in Children), BA affects 5-20% of children on earth. The programs of actual treatment
depend from evolutionary forms and complications. The persistent severe forms need
administration of combined therapy, including drugs with secondary effects on cardiovascular
system. Our retrospective study aimed the analysis of cardiovascular modifications in 240
children with BA. In children with severe BA (142 (51,9%) children from total 240) arrhythmias
and other modifications of repolarization processes were present in over 80% of patients,
including 3 children which had signs of cor pulmonale, independent from age.
Astmul bronşic (AB) este una din cele mai frecvente maladii cronice bronho-pulmonare
obstructive la copii. Conform datelor ISAAC (Studiul Internaţional al astmului şi alergiei la
copii), AB afectează 5-20% din copiii de pe globul pământesc. Programele de tratament actual
depind de formele evolutive şi complicatii. Formele severe persistente necesită administrarea
terapiei combinate, inclusiv de medicamente cu efecte secundare asupra sistemului
cardiovascuar. La copii cu AB sever (142 (51,9%) copii din 240 pacienţi total) aritmii şi alte
modificări ale proceselor de repolarizare au fost prezente în peste 80% dintre pacienţi, inclusiv 3
copii care au avut semne de cord pulmonar, independent de vârstă.
