Neutrophil and T Cell Functions in Patients with Congenital Heart Diseases: A Review

Sumario:With a significant improvement of survival in patients with congenital heart disease, we expect to encounter these patients more frequently for various medical issues. Clinical studies indicate that infection can pose higher risk in this cohort than general population. Here, with the hypothesis that more severe infection-related complications in CHD cohort may be linked to their inadequate immune response, we reviewed the current literature regarding neutrophil and T cell functions in patients with congenital heart diseases.
