Association between cardiac biomarkers and LVEF after congenital heart disease surgery in infants.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cardiac biomarkers are widely used to evaluate postoperative myocardial injury, but studies on their relationship with cardiac function in pediatrics are limited. This study aimed to characterize the dynamic changes of cardiac biomarkers after congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery in patients aged 0-3 years and assess their correlation with cardiac function.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 63 pediatric patients (0-3 years) who underwent CHD surgery at Zhongnan Hospital between January 2021 and June 2024. Biomarkers and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured preoperatively and postoperatively within 1 week. The associations between the biomarkers and LVEF were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the pred
