Why the study?
Does congenital heart disease affect growth trajectories (weight, length, head circumference) in young children?
Does congenital heart disease affect growth trajectories (weight, length, head circumference) in young children?
Children with congenital heart disease experience early and simultaneous decreases in growth trajectories across weight, length, and head circumference, suggesting altered growth regulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early growth deficits may warrant close monitoring in congenital heart disease; leaves open optimal intervention strategies pending prospective trials.
Daymont et al. (2012) studied this question.
