Ultrasound to track baby heart function in heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your pregnancy is a single baby (not twins or more).
- You are between 19 weeks 6 days and 36 weeks 6 days pregnant (exact window depends on group).
- If you are in the heart-disease group: your baby has an isolated congenital heart (heart) anomaly.
- If you are in the control group: your baby has no congenital heart anomaly.
- You do not have certain pregnancy conditions that can affect the baby’s heart function (like diabetes, preeclampsia, or cholestasis).
- No other major birth defects or known genetic conditions were found.

This study looks at how well a routine mid-pregnancy ultrasound can detect heart problems in unborn babies, and what happens to pregnancies when such problems are found. It may help improve care for mothers and babies.
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.
This study looks at how to improve care for babies with serious heart defects, both before and after birth. It brings together pregnancy and newborn care to help identify and treat these heart problems as early as possible.
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 monitors the heart sounds and electrical activity of pregnant women and their babies to help identify and manage heart risks early. It aims to improve heart care for both mother and child during pregnancy.
This study looks at a special ultrasound test that checks how well the baby's heart is working. It aims to see if this test can help predict problems in pregnancies affected by diabetes or preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy).
