First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at a new blood marker called sST2 in children under 18 who are having heart surgery. Researchers want to see if sST2 can better predict heart failure compared to standard tests, especially since it may be less affected by age or kidney problems. The goal is to find a more reliable way to monitor heart health after surgery.
