Heart health in children with chronic liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how chronic liver disease affects the heart in children. It aims to understand and detect heart problems that may arise from liver disease, which could help improve care.

Who can take part
- The child must be under 18 years old.
- The child must have a diagnosis of chronic liver disease.
- The child must not have a known heart condition (either from birth or previously acquired).

This study tests if a simple bedside heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) and blood tests can spot early heart problems in people with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and manage heart complications in cirrhosis.
This study is looking at how cirrhosis affects the heart (called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy). It aims to understand the connection between advanced liver disease and heart function, which may help improve care for people with cirrhosis.
This study looks at how common liver problems are in children with congenital heart disease. It is an observational study, meaning no treatments are given; the goal is simply to understand liver health in this group better.
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
This study looks at babies under 2 who have cholestasis, a liver condition, to check for heart problems that are present at birth and to see how they are developing. The goal is to better understand these issues and help families.
This study looks at factors that affect heart health after a liver transplant. It may help doctors better predict and manage heart problems in people with end-stage liver disease who are getting a new liver.
