ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how bronchial asthma, a common breathing condition in children, might affect the heart. Researchers want to understand if children with asthma, even those with mild or moderate cases, show early signs of heart issues. They are particularly interested in how asthma may lead to changes in the heart's structure and function, which could increase the risk of heart problems later in life. By using a simple heart test called electrocardiography (ECG), they will look at how asthma impacts the heart's electrical activity and overall health.
To participate in this trial, children aged 5 to 18 with a confirmed diagnosis of bronchial asthma can be eligible. However, those with certain health issues, such as congenital heart disease, diabetes, or other serious conditions, will not be included. Participants can expect to undergo heart tests while the study is ongoing, which will help researchers gather important information about the connection between asthma and heart health. This trial is important because it aims to provide insights that could lead to better care for children with asthma and help prevent future heart problems.
