Heart tests after tetralogy of fallot repair in children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the heart works after surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, a birth defect of the heart. It uses echo (ultrasound of the heart), ECG (a test that records the heart's electrical activity), and Holter monitoring (a portable device that tracks the heart's rhythm over time) to check for any problems or changes. If your child has had this repair, the results may help doctors understand what to expect and how to follow up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or young adult up to 25 years old.
- You have had surgery to repair tetralogy of Fallot.
- You do not have any other medical conditions (beyond tetralogy of Fallot) that might affect the results.

This study looks at how children grow after surgery to close a large hole in the heart. If your child has this condition and is not growing well, this study may help understand if the surgery improves growth.
This study looks at how blood flow and heart rhythm may affect exercise ability in people born with certain heart defects that have been repaired or treated. It uses a specialized heart MRI and ultrasound measurements to better understand these problems and their causes.
This study looks at how your quality of life is affected after surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot, and whether heart muscle function measured on an MRI can predict how you feel. If you join, researchers will use your routine MRI results to see how well your heart is working and connect that to your daily life.
This study is testing a new computer method to better find the exact spot in the heart that causes abnormal heart rhythms in people who had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot as children. By participating during your already planned heart test, you can help improve treatment options for others with your condition.
This study collects and analyzes small samples of heart tissue during specific heart operations in babies or children. The goal is to better understand how the heart develops after birth, which could improve future care.
This study looks at how the pulmonary arteries (the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs) develop in children who had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition present at birth. It aims to learn more about normal growth patterns, which could help doctors better care for other children with similar heart problems.
