NCT02409706

Brief Summary

This study aims to explore the frequency and types of micronutrient deficiencies in a sample of UK children with CHD using standard and novel markers in blood. The study will also explore whether micronutrient deficiencies increase the risk of complications after heart surgery. This study will identify any nutrient deficiencies that need monitoring in clinical practice.
