Seven infants under one month of age with controlled congestive heart failure showed a mean oxygen consumption of 9-4 +/- 1-6 SD ml/kg per min, a mean respiratory quotient of 0-71 +/- 0-05 SD, and a mean metabolic rate of 63 +/- 12 SD cal/kg per 24 h. This compares with a group of infants with congenital heart disease not in heart failure with Vo2 of 6-5 +/- 1-2 SD ml/min per kg, respiratory quotient of 0-80 +/- 0-11 SD, and basal metabolic rate of 45 +/- 8 SD cal/kg per 24 h. These differences are significant (P less than 0.001). The findings of a greater metabolic rate associated with congestive heart failure are thus extended to the newborn period.
7名年龄不满1个月且充血性心力衰竭已得到控制的婴儿，其平均耗氧量为9 - 4±1 - 6标准差毫升/千克每分钟，平均呼吸商为0 - 71±0 - 05标准差，平均代谢率为63±12标准差千卡/千克每24小时。与之相比，一组无心力衰竭的先天性心脏病婴儿，其每千克每分钟耗氧量为6 - 5±1 - 2标准差毫升，呼吸商为0 - 80±0 - 11标准差，基础代谢率为45±8标准差千卡/千克每24小时。这些差异具有显著性（P小于0.001）。因此，与充血性心力衰竭相关的较高代谢率这一发现被扩展到了新生儿期。
