Clinical Trial: Measuring Heart Health in Both Term, Preterm and Unwell Newborn Babies With an Advanced Ultrasound Method: Speckle Tracking Echocardiography

U.S., Jan. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07364682) titled 'Measuring Heart Health in Both Term, Preterm and Unwell Newborn Babies With an Advanced Ultrasound Method: Speckle Tracking Echocardiography' on Jan. 16.

Brief Summary: This study aims to improve how we check the heart function of newborn babies, especially those who are sick. While standard heart ultrasound scans are useful, a more advanced and sensitive technique called 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) can detect subtle problems with how the heart muscle squeezes and relaxes. This may allow doctors to spot potential issues earlier.

Our research will take place at Birmingham Women's Hospital. We will perform these advanc...
