С целью изучения возможных факторов и маркеров риска жизнеугрожающих состояний у детей с повторными нейрокардиогенными обмороками, развивающимися на фоне медицинских манипуляций обследованы 87 больных в возрасте от 2 до 17 лет с синкопальными состояниями, возникшими преимущественно на фоне венепункции.

To analyze potential riskfactors and markers of life-threatening conditions in children with recurrent neurocardiogenic syncope developed at the background of medical procedures, 87 patients aged 2 17 years with syncope occurred predominantly at the background of venipuncture were examined.
