Growth in infants with congenital heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how infants with congenital heart disease grow over time. By tracking weight, length, and head size, researchers hope to understand growth patterns and identify areas where extra support might be needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 2 years old.
- Your child has a congenital heart defect (a heart problem present from birth) confirmed by a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram).

- Your child does not have a hormone or metabolic disorder that affects growth.
- Your child was born at full term (at least 37 weeks of pregnancy, not premature).

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 helps doctors understand how to smoothly transition young people with heart problems they were born with from pediatric (children's) hospitals to adult care. It may help improve care coordination and outcomes as patients grow up.
This study looks at how children grow after surgery to close a large hole in the heart. If your child has this condition and is not growing well, this study may help understand if the surgery improves growth.
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 pregnant women who have congenital heart disease (a heart problem present from birth). The goal is to monitor how both mother and baby are doing, which can help improve care for others in the same situation.
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.
