Timing of Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale Following Birth

NCT01032785 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2010-09-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is known that the foramen ovale closes in most infants during the first 6 months of life, however, most of the important papers in the field concentrated on observing infants with murmurs and following those with patent foramen ovale by echocardiography until 6-24 months. The purpose of this study is to observe the natural profile of closure of the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus for the first 36 hours after birth. This understanding may help to avoid unnecessary treatment and exams for newborns with findings that are natural for their stage of development.
