Abstract
The research is concerned with histotopographic investigations of hearts, lungs and brains of 135 patients suffering from congenital heart disease. The most prominent sign of congenital heart disease is diffuse mesenchymal reaction with neoformation of vessels and their profound reorganization as a result of hypoxia and possibly incomplete differentiation of organs with their vessels. Congenital heart disease is the affection not only of the heart, but of the vessels, mesenchyma and the whole organism.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
