Abstract

Introduction: A complex pathophysiological interaction exists between the heart and the liver. Recently, the
Albumin Bilirubin (ALBI) Score, originally devised for liver disease has now found a prognostic role in cardiac
diseases. Hence, our study aimed to evaluate if the ALBI score can predict high inotropic requirements in pediatric
patients undergoing ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure surgery.
