Research Explained

Since October 2013, parents on the Research Workgroup  have helped select research studies that are important and relevant to families. For each selected study, they create a "Research Explained" summary—an easy-to-understand version that explains the medical research in simple, clear language. 

These summaries highlight what the research found and why it matters. For example, a February 2015 summary explained a study showing that children with HLHS may have developmental delays by age 3 compared to other children. 

"Research Explained" is a great example of how families and the cardiology community work together to make medical information more accessible and meaningful.
