Seizures in newborns with heart defects
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at newborns with heart problems who have seizures, to learn more about why seizures happen and how to help. It may help doctors better treat babies with both conditions.
