Our study shows distinct metabolic differences in the CNS of neonates with congenital heart disease and prematurity including elevated myo-inositol in multiple regions of babies with congenital heart disease neonates and selective parietal white matter multi-metabolic hypermetabolism in the preterm neonates which may underlie patterns of poor cognitive outcome in these patients.
