Heart defect closure study seeks to reveal hidden remodeling
NCT ID NCT07568002
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the heart's upper and lower chambers change shape and function after closing a hole called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using a catheter-based procedure. It will include 40 people aged 12 and older who are already scheduled for the closure. The goal is to measure heart muscle strain before and after the procedure, not to test a new treatment.
