Research summary
This project aims to look at the microcirculation of children with heart disease during hospital admission and seek additional explanations for the cardiac diseases. The aim is to determine what happens during treatments and how it relates to survival and outcome. These children will be monitored during their hospital admission, and also during surgery if appropriate, and as many videos as feasibly possible will be taken to illustrate what happens to microcirculation during this period. Microcirculation is the network of small vessels taking oxygen and nutrition to our cells. It is the largest and most unknown part of our circulatory system.
