This research study follows newborns with congenital heart disease (a heart problem present at birth) who need surgery or a catheterization procedure in their first 6 months of life. The study uses special brain monitoring equipment during and after heart treatment to measure how well the baby's brain is getting enough oxygen and blood flow, and whether the brain shows signs of stress or injury.
Babies born with heart defects are at higher risk for developmental delays, but doctors don't yet have good tools to predict which babies will struggle or how to best support their development. This study aims to identify warning signs during heart surgery that could help doctors catch problems early and plan better follow-up care.

Your baby will wear special sensors on the head during heart surgery and in the days afterward to monitor brain activity and oxygen levels—this is non-invasive and doesn't hurt. You'll also have blood samples taken at a few time points to check for signs of brain stress. After surgery, your baby will return for developmental check-ups at 9 months and 2 years of age using standard tests, plus brain imaging (ultrasound or MRI) to see how development is progressing.
