[Left ventricular aneurysm in an eight-year-old girl (author's transl)].

A female patient with a heart murmur typical for mitral insufficiency that was first heard, when she was 17 months old, is reported. In the ECG flattened T-waves in the left praecordial leads are seen. Because of a typical x-ray seven years later the diagnosis of leftventricular aneurysm was suspected, guaranteed by angiocardiography and because of repeated supraventricular tachycardias the congenital aneurysm was operated. A differentiation between congenital diverticulum and congenital aneurysm is established, the clinical symptoms of this malformation and the therapeutic consequences are discussed.

[Paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy and childhood (author's transl)].

23 cases of paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy and childhood (22 cases of supraventricular and 1 case of ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia) are reported. Clinical problems of 13 infants aged 1 day to 6 months are compared with those of 10 children and discussed. A primary disease e.g. congenital heart disease, myocarditis was observed in 8 cases and WPW-syndrome in 4 cases. Owing to the threatening cardiac failure especially in infancy a special attention should be taken to the immediately diagnosis. Treatment and prevention are discussed.
