Abstract
- Data about different types of cardiac biomarkers is still limited in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) when compared to that in adults. We evaluated the circulating levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in children with different types of CHD and correlated the levels with the calculated Qp/Qs ratio and the outcome of the congenital heart surgery.
