Improving the growth of infants with congenital heart disease using a consensus-based nutritional Pathway—A follow up study
A nutrition pathway developed to support growth in infants with CHD before surgery was associated with better growth outcomes during the first year of life compared to an epoch when nutrition support was only given for malnourishment. Achieving normal growth patterns during the first year of life may help to reduce the risk of metabolic disease in later life, although further research will be required to elucidate this.
