[Anatomical types of the conduction system in congenital heart defects].

A correlation is demonstrated between the fully formed conduction system and the anatomical type of the so-called normal and abnormal heart. Changes in the anatomy of the conduction system in congenital heart diseases are interpreted as a consequence of respective changes in the anatomy of the heart. New principles are formulated for the classification of congenital heart diseases on the basis of the anatomical types of the conduction system. They permit simultaneous systematization of types of ventricular septal defects and complex congenital heart diseases with ventricular septal defects.
