Surgery outcomes for complex heart defects across ages
This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT06768008Recruiting
Integrated care model for newborns with critical heart disease
This trial tests a coordinated treatment plan for newborns with critical congenital heart disease, starting before birth and continuing after delivery. It aims to improve outcomes for babies who need two-ventricle repair surgery.
BeijingAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT07483203Recruiting
Lung blood vessel health in people getting heart valve procedures
This study looks at how lung blood vessels work in people who are getting their heart valve fixed or replaced. It may help doctors understand and manage related lung issues.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06776133Recruiting
Predicting heart pressure from vein size in children
This study looks at a possible link between the size of a large vein (the inferior vena cava) and the pressure in the right side of the heart in children. If the link is strong, doctors might one day use vein size to estimate heart pressure without more invasive tests.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05373498Recruiting
Registry for children’s heart emergencies after resuscitation
This trial is a registry that collects information about children (under 18) who have congenital heart problems and need resuscitation with chest compressions. It helps doctors understand these emergencies and may improve future care for similar patients.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Up to 18 years - NCT07477197Recruiting
Heart Institute Biobank for Adult Congenital Heart Disease
This study collects blood and tissue samples and health information from adults with or at risk for congenital heart disease or related heart conditions. It aims to help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 16 years+ - NCT06784440Recruiting
Finding noninvasive markers of graft injury after heart transplant
This study looks for noninvasive markers (like blood or urine tests) that can show if a heart transplant is being injured. It aims to make monitoring safer and easier for children and adults with congenital heart disease who have had a transplant.
BolognaAges Up to 44 years - NCT06626672Recruiting
Digital Health Program for Kids with Heart Defects
This study uses digital tools to promote healthy habits in children (ages 8–14) with congenital heart disease. It aims to support both the child and their family in staying active and well.
MünchenAges 8–14 - NCT06769529Recruiting
Study of adults with congenital heart disease

BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06433401Recruiting
Structured transition care for teens with heart disease
This study tests a structured transition care model to help teenagers with congenital heart disease move from pediatric to adult care. It aims to make the process smoother and improve your health outcomes.
Ankara, Ankara YenimahalleAges 16–20 - NCT07425132Recruiting
Non-invasive heart mapping for congenital heart disease
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to create detailed 3D maps of the heart's electrical activity in people with congenital heart disease. It aims to help guide procedures like heart catheterization or device implantation, potentially making them safer and more personalized.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT07424976Enrolling by invitation
Early brain injury detection after infant heart surgery
This study looks for early signs of brain injury in infants after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to improve monitoring and care for babies with congenital heart disease.
LjubljanaAges 1 week–1 year - NCT07376785Enrolling by invitation
Can smartphones check heart sounds for birth defects?
This study tests whether a smartphone app can accurately detect inborn heart diseases by listening to heart sounds. Participation involves having your heart sounds recorded with a smartphone, which may help find problems earlier.
Hong KongAges 6 years+ - NCT05550324Recruiting
Pediatric heart disease patient data repository
This trial is a data repository that collects information from children with heart (cardiovascular) conditions and related syndromes. It focuses on organizing cases and comparing groups to help researchers better understand pediatric heart disease.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT07363538Recruiting
