All neonates with congenital heart disease undergoing stage one palliation (Norwood procedure, Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure) at Texas Children's Hospital will be regularly monitored for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and Troponin level before the surgical procedure, on arrival to the cardiac intensive care unit after their surgical procedure, every 6 hours during the first 24 hours of the post-operative period, followed by daily levels for the first week, and then weekly during patient's regular laboratory work up schedule.~These cardiac biomarkers are linked to demographic, hemodynamic, respiratory, pharmacological data available via Sickbay.
