Summary:Most of the patients with congenital heart defects had little chance of survival. Majority of the conditions were diagnosed at post-mortem examinations. However, early detection and appropriate interventional advances, in particular, surgery and improved medicines have now transformed the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) in children. Consequently, CHD patients can survive into adulthood creating a new and steadily growing patient population described as “patients with grown-up congenital heart disease”. Objective: To determine the prevalence of iron deficiency among children having cyanotic and non-cyanotic congenital heart disease.
