title: [Noninvasive examination methods in the detection of right heart hypertrophy in children with mucoviscidosis].
abstract: Pulmonary hypertension with right ventricular hypertrophy (Cor pulmonale) is a critical complication in cystic fibrosis patients. Early detection and therapy might decrease mortality. Noninvasive diagnostic methods as vector-ECG, m-mode echocardiography and thallium myocardial scintigraphy were performed in 50 children with cystic fibrosis to determine the degree of right ventricular hypertrophy.
