Core Tip Malnutrition harms growth, immunity, and outcomes; assessing nutrition is vital in pediatric heart disease. Malnutrition significantly contributes to poor growth, impaired immunity, increased susceptibility to infections, and adverse clinical outcomes, including a higher perioperative risk. Assessing nutritional status is essential for optimizing management and long-term prognosis in children with congenital and acquired heart diseases.
