Vitamin E for heart kids with bad lung infection
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if vitamin E can help children with heart problems recover faster from a serious lung infection. Your child may be able to join if they have a heart condition that does not turn their skin blue and now have a severe lung infection.

Who can take part
- Your child must be 2 months to 5 years old.
