Summary

This study tests whether high-calorie diets and special nutritional formulas can help underweight children aged 1 to 5 with congenital heart disease gain weight. Seventy-five children will be split into three groups: standard diet, high-calorie diet, or high-calorie diet plus a special formula. Over 8 weeks, researchers will measure weight gain, appetite, and feeding tolerance to see which approach works best.
