Mental health before and after heart defect treatment
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at mental health issues before and after treatment for a congenital heart defect. It may help you if you are planning to have surgery or a catheter procedure to fix your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of a congenital heart defect (a heart problem you were born with).
- Your heart condition requires a surgical procedure or a catheter-based intervention (a tube put into a blood vessel to fix the heart).
- You do not currently have, and have never had, a psychiatric or neurological disorder (like depression, anxiety, or a brain condition).
