Moving from pediatric to adult heart disease care
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a heart condition you were born with (congenital heart disease)
- You are a new patient being referred to this adult heart program
- You are transitioning from pediatric (children's) hospital care to adult care
- You are willing to participate in a study about your care transition

This study tests a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program for children and teens with complex congenital heart disease who have had surgery. It uses video calls and a mobile app to help you exercise safely at home with support from your family.
This study tests whether nurse-led or doctor-led education helps young people with congenital heart disease (a heart condition present from birth) transition from pediatric to adult care. The goal is to make this transition smoother and more accessible for all patients, including those with disabilities.
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.
This study tests a structured transition care model to help teenagers with congenital heart disease move from pediatric to adult care. It aims to make the process smoother and improve your health outcomes.
This study collects and shares anonymous information about adults being considered for a heart transplant because of a congenital (from birth) heart problem or an inherited heart muscle condition. The goal is to better understand these patients and support research that may improve care.
