ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to explore how children and teenagers with congenital heart disease (CHD) may experience feelings of depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Congenital heart disease is a condition present at birth that affects the heart's structure and function, and it can vary in severity. The study aims to better understand the emotional and mental health challenges faced by these young patients, which is important for providing them with the right support.

The trial is looking for children aged 6 to 17 who have either simple or complex CHD, whether they are currently in the hospital or receiving outpatient care. Participants can be at different stages in their treatment, including before or after surgery. However, children who are critically ill or have specific heart rhythm problems cannot participate. If your child is eligible and takes part in the study, they will help researchers gather valuable information that could improve the care and support offered to young patients with CHD. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it represents an important step in understanding the mental health needs of these children.
