MRI scans for children with heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at heart problems in babies and children. It may help doctors understand the heart's structure better without using X-rays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a baby or child with a known or suspected heart problem.
- Your child must be able to have sedation or general anesthesia for the scan.
- Your child must not have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- Your child must not have any reason they can't safely have an MRI.

This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
This trial is testing a way to help doctors assess babies and children with congenital heart disease and heart failure before placing a temporary heart support pump. It may help improve planning by using heart scans to decide who needs support and how to prepare.
This study looks at how blood flow and heart rhythm may affect exercise ability in people born with certain heart defects that have been repaired or treated. It uses a specialized heart MRI and ultrasound measurements to better understand these problems and their causes.
This study uses an MRI while exercising to check heart and lung fitness in children with heart disease. It helps doctors learn more about how to care for kids who have had a heart transplant or were born with heart problems.
This study adds an MRI and other measurements to a heart registry to better understand heart function. You might benefit by getting detailed heart and kidney measurements, but you must meet safety and eligibility rules (like blood pressure, BMI, and being off heart medicines).
This study tests a new MRI technique that may be faster and more reliable for measuring how well your heart pumps. If you are already scheduled for a heart MRI, this study could help improve future heart imaging.
