MRI and testing study linking genes and thinking in adults
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how patterns on brain MRI scans and genes relate to thinking and test performance in adults. It may help researchers better understand long-term brain and cognitive outcomes and how they differ between people with specific early-life heart conditions and healthy controls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You took part in earlier Boston Children’s Hospital childhood studies related to circulatory arrest, blood pH, and hematocrit.
- You are an adult who can give your own consent (or would be able to do so if asked).
- You must be able to complete an MRI scan.
- You should be able to take part in a short set of thinking tests and questionnaires (about IQ and other tasks).
- You need to speak and read English fluently.

This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
This study uses MRI scans to get detailed images of the heart in infants and children who have or might have congenital heart disease. It aims to help doctors see heart problems more clearly.
This study adds an MRI and other measurements to a heart registry to better understand heart function. You might benefit by getting detailed heart and kidney measurements, but you must meet safety and eligibility rules (like blood pressure, BMI, and being off heart medicines).
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.
This study is testing a new way to take pictures of the heart using MRI. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help make sure the technology works correctly.
This study evaluates a new way to analyze heart function using a standard cardiac MRI scanner. If you have heart disease and need a heart MRI anyway, this trial tests whether this new analysis method works well across different hospitals and MRI machines.
