Heart tests in children with brain disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how common heart changes are in children with brain conditions like epilepsy, stroke, or migraine. It uses simple, painless heart tests (ECG and echo) to check for any hidden heart problems that might be linked to the neurological disorder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 checks whether genetic markers are linked to heart rhythm problems in people with epilepsy or seizure-related events, and in some close relatives. It may help doctors better spot who is at risk for dangerous heart rhythm issues.
This study looks at whether early brain-wave testing (EEG) around the time of heart surgery in very young babies can predict later learning and development issues. It may help doctors identify children who need extra support sooner.
This study uses heart ultrasounds and EKGs to check for any heart changes in children with asthma. It helps doctors understand how asthma might affect the heart over time.
