New study maps normal heart function in newborns
NCT ID NCT06200519
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observes heart function in 216 newborns born at 35 weeks or later. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure how the heart relaxes and fills with blood, creating normal reference values. They will also check if factors like mother's health or birth conditions affect heart function, and whether early changes persist into infancy.
