Hormone problems in children with dilated cardiomyopathy
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether children with dilated cardiomyopathy (a weakened heart muscle) have hormone imbalances. It compares them with healthy children to see if there are differences that might affect their health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy using an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound).
- Your child must not have other types of cardiomyopathy or heart problems caused by congenital or rheumatic heart disease.

This study looks at how different types of nephrotic syndrome affect heart function in children. It may help doctors understand the heart risks in kids who need steroids for a long time compared to those whose condition doesn't respond to steroids.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the heart affect outcomes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (an enlarged, weak heart). You may qualify if you have heart failure with a weak pump and no significant blockages in your main heart arteries.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) changes that may cause cardiomyopathy, a disease where the heart muscle is weakened. It may help families understand possible causes and inform future care.
This study looks at the nutrition of children who have cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle). It aims to understand how heart problems affect growth and diet, which may help improve care.
This trial studies children with cardiomyopathy to better understand the condition. It's for children who have been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and who do not have other major heart problems or serious issues with other organs.
This study compares two types of heart failure medicines, ARNI and ACE inhibitors, to see which works better for children with dilated cardiomyopathy (a weakened heart muscle that affects pumping). It may help improve heart function and quality of life in children.
