Hypothyroidism develops in case of inadequate hormone production by the thyroid gland or in case of aninadequate response of the thyroid gland to thyrotropin. In thyroid hormone deficiency sometimes a disorder ofthe cardiovascular system may dominate. The authors described in two case-histories the clinical picture of twogirls with severe hypothyroidism where cardiovascular symptoms predominated in the clinical picture. They paidspecial attention to the diagnosis and causal treatment of the disease. In the conclusion the authors discuss thecauses of development of hypothyroidism in childhood and draw attention to the import ance of collaboration ofthe child endocrinologist and cardiologist in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
