| Description | there were evaluated changes of the left ventricle function in 33 asymptomatic patients treated by complex antitumour chemotherapy with anthracyclines for malignancy in childhood (group A) and in 13 patients after finished chemotherapy without antracyclines (group B). The control group (C) included 64 healthy subject. All adolescents were examined using echocardiography. All values were compared between the subgroups.
