Is Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Elevation Associated With Cardiac Failure In Infants With Ventricular Septal Defect?

Abstract

Purpose/Aim: Ventricular septal defect VSD which is the most common cause of congenital heart defects in children, can lead to heart failure 6–8 weeks after birth due to the decrease in the pulmonary vascular resistance. The clinical features of cardiac failure can be subtle during the infant period, so the laboratory parameters can help the diagnosis and the follow-up. The relation between gamma-glutamyl transferase GGT and cardiac failure is reported in adults. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between liver enzymes especially GGT levels and cardiac failure developing due to VSD in pediatric patients
