All the patients were examined in clinical setting with laboratory and instrumental methods, were performed electrocardiography, echocardiography, Holter monitoring, the study of the function of external respiration, computed tomography of the chest.
Results. As a result of the conducted studies, it has been found that the degree of thoracic deformity in children affects the severity of clinical and functional changes in the chest organs.
