Growth in babies with heart conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how babies and toddlers with congenital heart disease grow during their first two years. It will collect growth data from medical records to better understand growth patterns in these children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 2 years old.
- They have a confirmed heart problem present from birth (congenital heart disease).
- Their growth measurements (like height, weight, and head size) are recorded in their medical chart.
- Your child does not have a known genetic syndrome or another major organ problem.
- They were not born early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy).
- Your child has never had any surgery or procedure for their heart condition.
- They do not have a known hormone or metabolic condition that affects growth.

This study looks for chromosome changes in children born with heart defects. It may help doctors understand why some children have these conditions.
This study helps mothers of babies born with heart defects learn to breastfeed directly, even when the baby needs heart surgery in the first month of life. Researchers want to see if direct breastfeeding improves health outcomes for both mother and baby during this critical time.
This study is building a network of hospitals across China to help children with congenital heart disease. If your child was born with a heart problem and is under 18, they may be able to join and help improve care for kids like them.
This study follows babies ages 1 month to 2 years who have a large hole in their heart (VSD) that affects how their heart works. Researchers want to see if closing this hole helps babies catch up on normal growth and weight gain after surgery.
This study looks at how adults with congenital heart disease (a heart problem you were born with) do over time. By reviewing medical records, doctors hope to learn what affects long-term health and help improve care for patients like you.
This study follows adults born with a heart condition to see how they do over time, whether they had surgery or not. It aims to learn more about their health journey.
