Heart infarct in children seems to be more common than it is recognized. In the paper we discussed the most frequent causes of heart infarct as: congenital anomalies of coronary arteries (first of all anomalous origin of the left coronary artery), their post-inflammatory and post-operative stenosis, coronary thrombosis and embolism, coronary spasm, metabolic and proliferative diseases, coronary insufficiency, and the other ones (e.g. heart trauma).
