Exercise MRI for Kids with Heart Conditions
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses an MRI while exercising to check heart and lung fitness in children with heart disease. It helps doctors learn more about how to care for kids who have had a heart transplant or were born with heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be between 10 and 18 years old.
- They need either a heart transplant (at least 6 months ago) or a moderate to complex congenital heart condition.
- They must be able to speak English and have no conditions that prevent exercise or an MRI.
- They cannot have had recent heart rejection, chest pain during exercise, or a recent abnormal stress test.
- They must not be pregnant or have any other medical or mental limitation that would make the test unsafe or impossible.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a home-based, short bursts exercise program (HIIT using the MedBIKE™ system) for children who had a heart transplant at least 6 months ago. It may help improve fitness and safety after transplant, while checking which kids can participate without heart rhythm or symptom problems.
This study tests a structured “interval” bike exercise program to see if it’s safe and helpful for teens with certain repaired congenital heart conditions. It may help improve fitness while closely monitoring heart symptoms during training.
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 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).
