Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate a possible link between blood group B and congenital cardiac defects in a larger group of patients, following earlier observations in a small sample of African-American children.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,985 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, categorizing them into six diagnostic subgroups, and compared their ABO blood group distributions to those found in the general U.S. population.
- The findings revealed no significant relationship between ABO blood phenotypes and congenital cardiac defects, suggesting that the earlier reported association may not hold true in a larger, more diverse population.
