Method : This report is part of ongoing study of association between nutritional status and congenital heart disease. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to July 2018. All patients aged 1 month to 18 years who were came to pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic with congenital heart disease were included. Echocardiography was evaluated in first coming. Patients were categorized according to cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease. The data were taken in the form of gender, age, weight and height as well as nutritional status. Result : During the study period, 65 children were admitted, consisting of 31 (47.7%) males and 34 (52.3%) females, with a median age of 61.8 months. There were 40 (41.5%) patients with malnutrition and 14 (21.5%) patients with severe malnutrition. Conclusion : Children with CHD develop malnutrition and growth failure. Further studies studying its usefulness as correlation between nutritional status and CHD are still needed
