New 3D heart scan could improve care for kids with one ventricle
NCT ID NCT05262907
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new 3D ultrasound technique (Ventripoint) to see if it can accurately measure heart size and function in children and young adults born with a single ventricle. Researchers will compare the 3D ultrasound to standard echocardiograms and cardiac MRIs. The goal is to find a simpler, non-invasive way to monitor these patients over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a better, non-invasive way to monitor heart health in single ventricle patients, potentially improving long-term care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study, not a treatment trial. The new imaging method may not prove more accurate than current standard tests.
