Ultrafast ultrasound for babies with heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special, faster ultrasound to look at the brains of babies under 2 with congenital heart disease who need a heart pump. It aims to see if this new imaging can help doctors monitor brain health more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is under 2 years old
- Your baby has congenital heart disease (a heart problem present at birth)
- Your baby is in the heart intensive care unit and needs a mechanical heart pump
- Your baby's soft spot on the top of the head (anterior fontanelle) is still open
- Your baby is not allergic to the ultrasound gel used during the scan

This study tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to see heart structure and blood flow in children with or without congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to improve imaging without risk, using a short scan during a regular check-up.
This study uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This study uses focused heart ultrasound to help doctors make better treatment decisions for critically ill children in the ICU. It may help improve care by giving real-time information about the heart's function.
This study tests whether using a small ultrasound device at the patient's bedside (point-of-care ultrasound) can help doctors better manage fluid buildup in people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to see if this extra imaging helps guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how well a newborn's heart is working. It aims to compare heart function in healthy babies, premature babies, and babies with certain health conditions to improve care.
