First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests whether the medicine propranolol can help infants born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot grow new heart muscle cells. About 40 babies under 60 days old will receive propranolol, and researchers will examine heart tissue removed during surgery to see if new cells formed. The goal is to learn if this approach could prevent heart failure later in life.
