Can scarring in the heart predict trouble for fallot patients?
NCT ID NCT04737135
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looks at 224 adults who had surgery as children for a heart defect called tetralogy of Fallot. Researchers want to see if scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle, measured by MRI and blood tests, is linked to future heart problems like arrhythmias or heart failure. No new treatments are given; the goal is to learn which patients might need extra care.

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 study could help doctors identify which patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are at higher risk for heart complications, enabling closer monitoring or earlier intervention.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a clear link between fibrosis markers and outcomes, or the markers may not be practical for routine use.
