Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital heart disease (CHD) has seen remarkable advancements over recent decades, revolutionizing care and greatly improving outcomes for millions of individuals born with this condition. Despite these strides, CHD remains a chronic, lifelong condition that continues to pose significant challenges, with many patients experiencing ongoing health complications and increased risk of mortality. To further advance outcomes, global efforts must focus on improving clinical management, refining diagnostic and prognostic tools, and developing strategies for modifying disease progression. These efforts will eventually result in improved patient outcomes and quality of life, with a substantial benefit to healthcare systems. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect contributions spanning the full spectrum of CHD, from initial evaluation through diagnostic and therapeutic pathways to address the evolving needs of this unique patient population.
