Preschoolers with CHD had more suspicious interpretations than non-CHD preschoolers, specifically in the language (P < 0.01) and gross motor sections (P < 0.001). Nevertheless, there were two items in the personal-social section and one in the language section on which the children with heart disease pas...Continue Reading
