Could celiac disease affect Children's heart rhythms?
NCT ID NCT07779993
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children with celiac disease may have a higher risk of heart rhythm problems compared to healthy children. Researchers will measure specific heart rhythm intervals using an ECG in children diagnosed with celiac disease and compare them to healthy children. The goal is to see if celiac disease might make the heart more sensitive to arrhythmias.
