Table 2 from the article, “Energy metabolism in infants with congenital heart disease,” by Andreas Nydegger, M.D., and Julie E. Bines, M.D., F.R.A.C.P., which appeared in the July-August issue of Nutrition: The International Journal of Applied and Basic Nutritional Sciences [2006;22(7–8):697–704] is reprinted here. The original design of the table was somewhat confusing.
