Swiss Study on Brain Development in Children with Heart Defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows children with severe heart problems born recently to see how their brain development progresses. It helps doctors understand what support these children might need as they grow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a severe congenital heart defect (CHD).
- Your child must have needed a heart operation (like using a heart-lung machine) or a catheter procedure within the first 6 weeks of life.
- Your child should not have a simple heart defect that was fixed with a simple procedure (like closing a small hole).

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 looks at how a mother's mental health during pregnancy may affect the brain development of babies with a serious heart condition called critical cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to understand this link to improve support for families.
This trial tests a combined heart and brain rehabilitation program for young people with moderate to complex congenital heart disease. The goal is to improve both heart health and thinking skills, such as memory and attention.
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.
This study looks at how children with complex congenital heart defects develop, especially their brain and learning skills. It will help doctors provide better support for these children.
This study looks at how a serious heart condition before birth may affect a baby's brain development. It follows babies and their parents to better understand and support these children as they grow.
