Quick heart scans for moms using meth: a new study
NCT ID NCT07309757
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test if simple, bedside heart tests (ultrasound, EKG, and blood tests) can accurately detect heart problems in pregnant women who regularly use methamphetamine. Researchers will compare these quick tests to a full heart ultrasound. The goal is to find a faster, easier way to check heart health in rural areas. About 35 pregnant women will take part.
