NCT ID NCT05270356
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at brain scans of 195 young adults (ages 18-30) with moderate to severe congenital heart disease to find signs of brain injury. The goal was to see if these brain changes could help predict memory or thinking problems later in life. No new treatments were tested; instead, researchers gathered information to better understand the link between heart and brain health.
