Examining Developmental Changes in Heart Contractions of Children With Congenital Heart Defects

NCT00860327 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 375

Last updated 2016-08-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Children who are born with heart defects undergo surgery when they are infants to correct the defects. However, many treatments that are used in pediatric heart patients were originally developed for adults and may not be the best option for children. This study will analyze tissue samples from newborns and infants undergoing surgery for heart defects to learn more about how a child's heart develops during the first year of life. This information may help to identify possible treatments geared specifically for the pediatric heart patient.
