Accelerated weight gain by infants with pulmonic stenosis.
Retrospectively we compared the weight gain of infants who had significant valvular pulmonic stenosis with the growth of infants who had mild pulmonic stenosis and small ventricular septal defects. Our results indicate that the infants with significant pulmonic stenosis gained weight exceptionally well in comparison with others.
