Value of Thyroid Functions in Children With Congenital Heart Diseases
Conditions
Brief summary
Thyroid hormone is critical for normal neurocognitive development in young infants, and even transient hypothyroidism can cause adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. In a population of infants with CHD who already bear a high risk of long-term developmental delay, detection of hypothyroidism, even of a transient nature, may be even more consequential, and routine periodic monitoring of thyroid function may be necessary to reduce the risk of neurodevelopmental disabilities
