Seventeen patients with Freidreich's ataxia were investigated for cardiac abnormalities using non-invasive methods. Clinical examination, routine chest radiographs and electrocardiograms were a poor guide to underlying heart involvement but using continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring, echocardiography and isotope ventriculography all patients were found to have abnormalities, even when the neurological signs were minimal.
对17例弗里德赖希共济失调患者采用非侵入性方法进行心脏异常情况的调查。临床检查、常规胸部X线片和心电图对潜在的心脏受累情况指导作用不佳,但通过动态心电图监测、超声心动图和同位素心室造影检查发现,所有患者均存在异常,即便神经体征轻微时也是如此。
