Screening for developmental disorders in children with heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is looking for children aged 1 to 5 years who have congenital heart disease and had heart surgery or a procedure in their first year. A special nurse will check for early signs of developmental delays, to see if this kind of screening is helpful for these children.

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 whether early brain-wave testing (EEG) around the time of heart surgery in very young babies can predict later learning and development issues. It may help doctors identify children who need extra support sooner.
This study looks at how children with congenital heart disease do during routine non-heart procedures, including medical or minor treatments that are not heart-related. It also measures how much health care they use afterward, which may help improve care planning for families.
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 study tests whether monitoring babies with congenital heart disease at home using special equipment is practical and helpful while they wait for surgery or a procedure. It may reduce hospital stays and let families spend more time together.
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.
