Monitoring heart changes in children after VSD closure
Holter and ECG Changes After Transcatheter Closure Of VSD In Children
Sohag University · NCT05890651
This study looks at how children's hearts change after they have a procedure to close a hole in their heart, to see how well the treatment works and if there are any problems.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on children diagnosed with ventricular septal defect (VSD) who will undergo transcatheter closure. It aims to monitor changes in Holter and ECG readings post-procedure to assess the heart's function and identify any complications. The study will include all eligible children under 18 years old receiving this treatment at Sohag University hospitals. By analyzing the data collected, researchers hope to gain insights into the effectiveness and safety of transcatheter VSD closure.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are children under 18 years diagnosed with VSD who are scheduled for transcatheter closure.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have VSD or those who are unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve understanding of heart function recovery in children after VSD closure, leading to better management and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on VSD closure, this specific observational approach focusing on Holter and ECG changes is relatively novel.
