 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Myocardial damage in children with febrile seizures of a number of indicators Clinical study [Abstract] Objective febrile convulsions (FC) induced a number of indicators of myocardial damage and its significance. Methods in October 2007 -2009 clinic or hospital in September of 50 cases of febrile seizures in children, including simple febrile convulsion (SFC) 27 cases of complex febrile convulsions (CFC) 23 patients, 25 cases of upper respiratory infection as the control group, fasting venous blood, serum myocardial enzymes: troponin I (cTnI), muscle kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and so on. positive blood the same day in the electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound examination. Results complex febrile seizures serum cTnI, CK-MB and the control group and the simple difference between febrile convulsions group significant (P lt;0.01). Simple febrile convulsions serum cTnI, CK-MB compared with the control group was not significant (Pgt; 0.05). echocardiography EF, FS, E / A, LAD / ASD and ECG Group 3 There was no statistical significance. Conclusions febrile seizures can cause varying degrees of myocardial damage, particularly complex febrile seizures are prone to cause myocardial damage. cTnI, CK-MB index more sensitive, specific, and its levels is closely related to the nature and febrile convulsions . [Keywords:] febrile convulsions; troponin I; creatine kinase; echocardiography; ECG Febrile convulsions (FC) in infants and young children during the most common cause of seizures, mainly in the 6 months to 3 years old, even found in the 4 to 5 years old, 6 years of age is rare. FC divided into simple febrile convulsions (SFC) and complex febrile convulsions (CFC). 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information on FC group of 50 patients. 28 males and 22 females, were in October 2007 -2009 in September in our clinic or hospital FC children. Aged 6 months to 7 years, mean age (3.35 + -1.02) years old. which SFC 27 , CFC 23 cases, diag
