Summary

This study will measure hormone levels in 100 children aged 1 to 12 who have dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart is enlarged and weakened. Researchers will collect blood samples to check hormones like thyroid, cortisol, and growth factors, and compare them to healthy children. The goal is to understand how heart failure affects the endocrine system, not to test a new treatment.

What this could lead to: If successful, this study could reveal links between heart failure and hormone imbalances in children, pointing toward better monitoring or supportive care.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any therapy, and results may not lead to direct clinical changes.
