Heart and neck artery ultrasound study in healthy children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to take pictures of the heart and the main neck arteries in healthy children across Italy. It helps doctors learn what normal measurements look like for different ages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 0 and 18 years old.
- We need to have basic information like height, weight, and age.
- Your child must be generally healthy, with no serious or long-term illnesses.
- The ultrasound images of the heart must be clear enough to use.
- You (parent or guardian) must sign a consent form, and your child will also be asked if they agree.

This study measures echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) results in healthy newborn babies to help define “normal” ranges. It’s mainly for babies without serious heart or lung problems, and it can help improve how doctors interpret future newborn echocardiograms.
This study tests a new digital method for analyzing heart ultrasound images. Researchers want to see if computer software can help doctors read heart scans more accurately and quickly.
This study examines the health of blood vessels in children ages 6 to 17, using a non-invasive device called Vicorder to measure vessel stiffness. It aims to understand how blood vessel walls work in youth.
This study tests a new, advanced ultrasound method for imaging blood vessels. It is looking for healthy volunteers with no history of kidney or brain disease to help researchers see if the ultrasound can give clearer pictures of the vascular system.
This study tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to see heart structure and blood flow in children with or without congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to improve imaging without risk, using a short scan during a regular check-up.
This study tests a new small patch-like ultrasound device that you wear on your neck to check your carotid arteries (the main blood vessels in your neck). It compares how well this portable device works compared to a standard larger ultrasound machine.
