Measuring new heart cells in babies having heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the heart makes new muscle cells in babies under 1 year old who need heart surgery. Tissue that is normally removed during surgery will be studied to learn more about heart repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be between 30 days and 1 year old
- Your baby must be scheduled for elective (planned) heart surgery
- The type of heart condition must require surgery where a small piece of heart muscle is removed as part of the procedure
- Diagnoses like Tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary stenosis often qualify
