Study of 6 peripheral channels of ECG in 62 children of the ages 9, 12, 14 showed that the heart frequency decreases with increasing age. In a same age, the frequency is higher in girl than in boy. Alpha angle valne decreases with increasing age. The electrocardiogram axis trends to move from right to left side, in contrary with the clock hand movement. Average duration of wave depends on the heart frequency. The altitude of wave of these three age groups has not significant difference

Investigation on 100 patients aged over 50, treated at cardiology department of Thanh Nhan hospital from January to December 2001 showed that: Heart failure was common in cardiovascular diseases (14.6%). The incident of heart failure increased with age, more in females than in males. The common causes of heart failure were valvular diseases (37%), hypertension (31%), myocardial ischemia (17%)… The majority of patients with heart failure hospitalized were in severe situation (third degree: 51%, fourth degree: 10%). Besides diuretic and Digoxin, most patients must use the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, other used β blockers

151 pediatric patients of 1-60 month age with bronchitis pneumonia at Hanoi Thanh Nhan Hospital were enrolled into study from November 2001 to September 2002. Most of patients were suffering from cough, fever,dyspnoea,mental disorder, digestive disorder, rale murmure, increase of neutrophile, bacteria positive culture in 29,14% of cases. Common bacteria were H.influenza- 39,58%, S.pneumonia – 35,42%, S. pyogenes -14,58%, S. aureus – 6,25%.

After investigating 645 case reports on urinary tract infection (UTI) hospitalized and treated at Nephrology Department at Hai Ba Trung Hospital from 1996 to 1999. The authors note that UTI is most common problem among nephro urinary diseases. The incidence in female is twice more than in male. Common clinical manifestations are polyuria (72.9%), urodynia (71.1%), uronephralgia (64.5%), turbid and dark colour urine (60.2%). Pathogens include E. coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Enterobacter. Therapeutic duration with antibiotics was almost longer than a week, with 11-14 days on average (37.2%). 34.9% of patients were treated with antibiotics for more than 15 days.

Introducing some advantages of cardiac ultrasound (through chest wall and trans-esophagus) in diagnosis of mitral stenosis. In Vietnam, Some kinds of cardiac ultrasound were applied since 1973 including M-mode ultrasound, 2D ultrasound, Doppler, and color ultrasound. Internal treatment and surgical treatment (including in closed or opened cardiac surgery, percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy) are very efficient

The study was carried out on 50 patients with anthracosis treated from from 1stJanuary 2001 to November 31st 2001 at Thanh nhan hospital.anthracosis was the most frequent to be met among the whole occupational dust-related diseases. The patients have been got diseases, essentailly related to the long duration in contact with various dusts or by having histories that easy to be got diverse diseases of respiratory tract. The commonest symptoms in anthracosis are dyspnoea 70%, cough 62%, sputum excretion 40%, modifications or pulmonary and X-rays, eletrocardiogram, especially respiratory function deficiency. Diseases and complications frequently met of anthracosis were bronchitis, pneumonia, cardiac insufficiency, chronic cardiopulmonary diseases, cardio arrhythmia, pulmonary infarction and hemoptysis

All patients with acute myocardial infarction at Thanh Nhan Hospital in the period from January 2000 to December 2002 were studied. Acute myocardiac infarctus was one of the most common internal emergency, accounted for 2.41% of all admitted patients at the Department of Cardiology. Dysrythmia accounted for 88.7%, sinusal arythmia, atrial extrasystolae and ventricle extrasystolae, cardiac fibrillation… were usual symptoms. The average duration of treatment was 15.6 and 8.5 days. Immobilization, light diet, pain relief, anti-arythmia, assisted respiratory, anticoagulant, antidilator,… were usual measures for management. In severe cases, shock, heart failure, acute edema of the lung must be managed actively. Death rate reached to 40%. Only 45% of cases could be recovered.

Studying on 93 children from 6 to 15 years old who had Rheumatic fever, were injected to prevent rheumatic fever at 2nd level in Thanh Nhan Hospital from 1999 to 2003. The result showed that: in polyarthritic and chorea type, symptoms gradually decreased and disappeared, but common valvular lesions of severe carditis almost still existed. The recurrent rate was very low. The complications of disease were few and might, include: pain and hardening at injected site accounted for 12.9% of total patients and 2.56% of the times of injection. There were 5.38% of patients with mild allergy, accounted for 0.27% of the injection times. It must be on the alert against some dangerous complications as: embolism, anaphylactic shock, mortality… after injection benzathin penicillin
