Early Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Severe Pulmonary Hypertension Predict Adverse Outcomes in “Low-Risk” Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Conclusions: Early left ventricular dysfunction and severe pulmonary hypertension are independent predictors of adverse outcomes among “low-risk” congenital diaphragmatic hernia infants. Early recognition may lead to interventions that can improve outcome in this at-risk cohort.
