Clinical Trial: Prevalence of Liver Dysfunction in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease at Assiut.

U.S., Aug. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07144501) titled 'Prevalence of Liver Dysfunction in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease at Assiut.' on Aug. 19.
