Most cardiac diseases in the newborn are caused by structural abnormalities developed in
utero. With few exceptions, palliative and definitive treatments require cardiac surgery. The …

Objectives: To assess myocardial performance in septic full-term infants and to correlate it
with serum cardiac troponin T concentrations. Design: Prospective, case-control, clinical …

With the increasing number of patients surviving after therapeutic intervention for congenital
