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.
Who can take part
- 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
- Your pregnancy is between 28 and 38 weeks
- You receive heart care for your baby at one of the participating hospitals in Montpellier, Paris (Necker), or Bordeaux
- At least 4 weeks have passed since you first learned about your baby's heart condition

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 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.
This study looks at the link between preeclampsia (a pregnancy complication with high blood pressure) and a mother's heart health when her baby has a heart problem. The goal is to understand how the mother's heart adapts during pregnancy in these cases.
This study creates a DNA bank and a French database for babies and children with certain types of congenital heart defects, to better understand genetic causes. You’ll be asked to have a blood test and share consent, even though care can continue as usual at the study hospital.
