BACKGROUND: Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) on echocardiography is one of the tests performed on heart failure. This refers to the volume of the left ventricle at the end of the diastolic phase, which would be increased when there is a disturbance in preload, afterload, and contractility factors. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) is a marker of congestive heart failure that can be examined through laboratory examinations. AIM: The objective of the study was to provide evidence of the association between MMP and inflammatory process as well as its correlation with LVEDV in children with heart failure. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on children aged 3 months–12 years old with heart failure, who visited Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Indonesia from May 2017 to March 2018. Echocardiographic examination (LVEDV) and blood samples were taken to measure the serum level of MMP2 on day 1 after the subjects were diagnosed with heart failure. RESULTS: A total of 32 subjects with heart failure were analyzed in this study. Acyanotic congenital heart defect (CHD) was the most common cause of heart failure, as observed in 23 subjects (71.9%). Characteristics data revealed that 24 subjects (75%) were underweight, 23 (71.9%) had cardiomegaly, and 22 (68.8%) had mild heart failure. Data analysis showed a moderate positive correlation between MMP2 levels with LVEDV after controlling for the influence of age (p = 0.02; r = 0.425). CONCLUSION: There was a moderate positive correlation between MMP2 level and LVEDV after controlling for the age factor.

“…In all cases, a Z score of less than -2 was considered as the cut-off point for malnutrition. And below -3 considered severe malnutrition [8]. The type of malnutrition was classified according to the value of calculation of Z score, acute malnutrition assessed by weight/length ratio, chronic malnutrition assessed by length/age ratio, while poor nutritional status and acute deterioration of health status assessed by weight/age ratio.…”

Background:This study will show the most likely congenital heart disease that affect on growth parameters which re-arrange our information for rapid referring of such patient to solving their problems and maintains the life of child and decrease burden on salary of family. Objective: To assess nutritional status and factors that predicts nutritional changes in children with congenital heart disease. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study, of 110 patients with congenital heart diseases, performed in Al-Hilla and Baghdad cities in Iraq. Children were divided into three groups according to the age. Cardiac diagnosis was made on basis of clinical history, examination, electrocardiography and echocardiography. acute malnutrition assessed by weight/length ratio, chronic malnutrition assessed by length/age ratio, while poor nutritional stat us and acute deterioration of health status assessed by weight/age ratio. Results: 110 patient; Wasted or severely wasted (60.9%) according to weight/length, and Stunted or severely stunted (61.8%) according to length for age measure; and wasted or severely wasted was (42.7%) according to BMI . There was significant association between acute malnutrition and child age, p value <0.002. Acute malnutrition (Wasted or severely wasted) more with left side volume overload (62.7%) and (60.2%) those with chronic malnutrition (Stunted or severely stunted) have complex heart disease. There was significant association between malnutrition assessed by weight for height and presence of mild, moderate and Severe PHT, absence or presence of treatment, type of feeding and syndromatic type of CHD. There was significant association between chronic malnutrition assessed by height for age and cyanosis, pulmonary hypertension and type of feeding. There was significant association between acute malnutrition assessed by BMI for age and pulmonary hypertension, absence or presence of treatment and type of feeding. There was significant association between malnutrition assessed by Weight for height and history of abortion. Conclusion: Congenital heart disease can affect the growth of children so need resolve these problems by correcting the cardiac abnormality whether by cardiac catheterization of surgical intervention.

: Congenital heart disease refers to any anatomical defect in the heart or major blood vessels present in children at birth. CHD (congenital heart disease) occurs in round about 1% of live births in developed countries. In developing countries due to poor resources, delayed diagnosis and surgery for CHD leads to a vicious cycle of congestive heart failure and respiratory infections, resulting in a high prevalence of preoperative malnutrition in patients with CHD. The incidence of congenital heart disease at birth is variable, incidence figures use to range between 5-8/1000 live births before the introduction of echocardiography but due to better diagnosis in today’s era many more milder forms are being detected, so the current estimates range from 8-12/1000 live births.: To assess the nutritional status in patients with CHD using clinical evaluation, anthropometry.: It is a cross-sectional observational stud. In our study a total of 75 cases of congenital heart disease were examined in a period of 18 months: Out of 75 patients 56 (74.66%) were <=5years and male predominance were seen. Most of the patient were having Acyanotic CHD: That there are multiple factors that are responsible for malnutrition in children with CHD including, poor socioeconomic strata, already poor health conditions in the general population, recurrent hospitalizations and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections.
