Preeclampsia and baby heart defects: mother's heart study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 looks at how high blood pressure during pregnancy affects the heart health of both mother and baby. It aims to understand these effects better to improve care.
This study follows pregnant women with heart conditions to understand how pregnancy affects their heart health and their baby's health. You may join if you have one or more heart conditions, such as a heart defect, a heart infection, an irregular heartbeat, or a blood vessel problem.
This study monitors the heart sounds and electrical activity of pregnant women and their babies to help identify and manage heart risks early. It aims to improve heart care for both mother and child during pregnancy.
This study looks for proteins in the blood that may show early signs of heart stress in pregnant women with preeclampsia, before symptoms appear. It also uses heart ultrasound to see how the heart changes during pregnancy, which could help find women at risk earlier.
