We have studied the peculiarities of the heart lesions in 177 children with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), among them 73 children had accompanying residual organic lesion of the central nervous system (ROL CNS). While examining the patients general clinical findings, the results of the complex electrophysiological and endoscopic investigations were used. The disturbance of the heart rhythm and the conduction of the heart were revealed in most children with GERD and with accompanying ROL CNS. It was revealed that the role of disbalance of vegetative innervation is of great importance in the functional lesion of the heart.
