Maternal mental health and baby's brain in heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old
- You are pregnant and have been told your baby has a severe type of heart problem that can affect oxygen levels after birth

This study looks at how to improve care for babies with serious heart defects, both before and after birth. It brings together pregnancy and newborn care to help identify and treat these heart problems as early as possible.
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.
This study follows pregnant women who have congenital heart disease (a heart problem present from birth). The goal is to monitor how both mother and baby are doing, which can help improve care for others in the same situation.
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 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 the genetic material in the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) and in the placenta to better understand complex heart defects in unborn babies. The goal is to find new clues that could help doctors care for these babies before and after birth.
