Development after heart surgery for non-blue heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at children aged 4 to 6 who have had heart surgery to fix a non-blue heart defect. It aims to see how their development compares with healthy children of the same age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 6 years old (48 to 72 months).
- Your child has had exactly one heart surgery to repair a heart defect (this surgery must be for acyanotic heart disease, meaning no bluish skin).
- Your child has a normal IQ (between 85 and 115).
- Your child does not have genetic disorders, severe neurological issues, cyanotic heart disease, or problems from birth (perinatal complications).
- For healthy children (control group): your child is 4-6 years old, attends school full-time, and participates in social and recreational activities.

This study looks at whether a structured physical activity program can support thinking and brain development in children around age 2–5. Your child may be eligible if they are having certain surgeries or fit a matched “control” group and do not have specific neurologic or heart-related issues.
This study looks at how children with congenital heart disease do during routine non-heart procedures, including medical or minor treatments that are not heart-related. It also measures how much health care they use afterward, which may help improve care planning for families.
This study tests whether a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program can help children recover after heart surgery. It uses exercise and support to improve your child's health and development.
This study helps create a home exercise and recovery program for young children after heart surgery. It aims to improve their recovery and daily life at home.
This study tests whether kids aged 8–18 who had complex heart surgery can safely improve their fitness and well-being using exercise activities at home through a mobile app or video. The goal is to help them become more active after surgery.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before heart surgery can help adults with congenital heart disease recover better. You would join an exercise class 2–3 times a week for several weeks leading up to your operation.
