Heart health in children with ADHD on medication
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the hearts of children and teens with ADHD who have been taking medication for at least six months. It compares them with healthy children to see if there are any differences in heart function. This information may help doctors understand how ADHD medications affect the heart.
