First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a noninvasive light sensor placed on the thumb to measure oxygen levels in children with heart failure. Researchers will temporarily stop blood flow to the hand and watch how oxygen levels change, then release the pressure to see how quickly oxygen returns. The goal is to see if these measurements relate to how severe the heart failure is. About 130 children under 25 with stable heart failure will take part.
