| dc.description.abstract | Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to a significant structural defect in the heart or major blood vessels within the chest that affects how the heart functions. According to EUROCAT registries, CHD affected approximately 8 out of every 1,000 births in Europe between 2000 and 2005, with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) making up 25% of cases. CCHD is characterized by the right-to-left shunting of desaturated blood, leading to decreased oxygen saturation in the systemic circulation. A common but often overlooked complication in children with CCHD is iron deficiency (ID), which can go undetected due to misleading high hemoglobin levels that mask the condition. | |
