Baby heart ultrasound study in newborn congenital heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study records newborn heart measurements (using medical imaging) to compare babies with certain congenital heart defects to healthy-term babies. The goal is to see how well one test matches another, which may help doctors better understand heart conditions in newborns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born with a specific congenital heart problem (one of the listed conditions)
- Your baby is admitted to the NICU at Montreal Children’s Hospital during the study period (Jan 2018–Jan 2020)
- Your baby was born at 34 weeks of pregnancy or later
- Parents can give permission to join the study

This study uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This study looks at how blood flow and heart rhythm may affect exercise ability in people born with certain heart defects that have been repaired or treated. It uses a specialized heart MRI and ultrasound measurements to better understand these problems and their causes.
This study collects and analyzes small samples of heart tissue during specific heart operations in babies or children. The goal is to better understand how the heart develops after birth, which could improve future care.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how well a newborn's heart is working. It aims to compare heart function in healthy babies, premature babies, and babies with certain health conditions to improve care.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
