Tissue Doppler Echo Imaging of Heart Function After Transplant

Completed

Conditions studied: Children With Heart Transplants

In brief

There are many children born with Congenital Heart Disease. Many of these children have to undergo surgical procedures to correct the problem. Some patients must eventually get a new heart. Once they get a new heart, we have to have ways to determine how well the new heart is doing inside of the body. Tissue Doppler Imaging is one way of doing so. Tissue Doppler Imaging is like an ultrasounds. It takes pictures of the heart. In addition to Tissue Doppler Imaging, there is a newer non-invasive procedure called Tissue Synchronization Imaging which will allow us to see how well the new heart is working as well. In this study we would use both techniques to determine how well the new heart is working.
