We compare three observation stages, including pre-intervention 3rd 6th post-cardiac parameters are determined according mean Z-scores weight-for-age (WAZ), length-for-age (LAZ), weight-for-length (WLZ) participants. Results: total underwent 49 eligible age patients 31.51 months, 89% them 1-5 years. Fifty-three percent male. most common defects Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) among 55.1% Significant differences found WAZ, LAZ, WLZ measurement stages (p<0.05). Conclusion: Interventional affects enhances may be suggested as an initial therapy further evaluate disease.
