Research Progress of the Pediatric Cardiology

Dear Colleagues,

I am honored to have been asked to serve as a guest editor for the new Special Issue of Children entitled “Research Progress in Pediatric Cardiology”.

The aim of this Special Issue is to produce a rich collection of research, articles, and opinions for clinicians, academics, and policy makers in the field of Pediatric Cardiology. Contributions involving all aspects of this topic and, in particular, the understanding, management, and improvement of cardiovascular diseases in children will be welcomed.

Our work will be based on an interdisciplinary approach to disseminate advanced knowledge and evidence with the aim to improve pediatric cardiovascular care. High-quality papers in all areas of pediatric cardiology will be handled through a fair and rigorous peer review process.

Innovative papers on new cardiovascular treatments, prognostic indicators, and imaging techniques, as well as studies focused on the impact of disruptive events (i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic), are particularly welcomed. Finally, we also encourage papers focused on cardiovascular diseases in specific populations, such as, for example, low-income countries in which pediatric care is seriously impacted by the overall situation.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Massimo Mapelli
Guest Editor
