First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a new blood marker called sST2 can better detect heart failure in children after congenital heart surgery. Researchers will measure sST2 levels in 225 children under 18 before and after surgery, and at a follow-up 9-12 months later. The goal is to see if sST2 is more reliable than current markers, which can be affected by age or kidney injury.
