title: [Cardiac changes in familial Friedreich's ataxia (clinico-morphologic study)].
abstract: In familial Friedreich's ataxia besides lesions of the nervous system there is also cardiac pathology, which frequently may be the reason of a lethal outcome. As a result of a clinico-morphological study of the heart of a deceased patient, it was demonstrated that the character of morphological changes points to severe dystrophical changes of the myocardium of the "idiopathical" cardiomyopathy type.
