Abstract
The etiology of growth failure in children with CHD appears to
be mulifactorial and not entirely accounted for by haemodynamic
disturbances or nutrition alone.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate serum insulin-like
growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding
protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels in children with congenital heart diseases
and to determine if these parameters have any relationship to
nutritional status .
This study was conducted on thirty five patients 22 patients
with acyanotic congenital heart diseases (group Ι) & 13 patients
with cyanotic congenital heart diseases (group ІІ) and 20 apparently
normal children as controls of with same age, sex and socioeconomic
status (group ІІІ ) with mean age was 14.3 ± 8.7 months ( range from 1
month to eighty four months).
