Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital heart defects affect approximately 1% of all newborns. Owing to significant advances in diagnosis, surgical techniques, and perioperative care, more than 90% of affected individuals now reach adulthood. This remarkable progress has shifted the clinical focus towards lifelong management and the optimisation of long-term outcomes.
This Special Issue invites high-quality submissions spanning the full spectrum of congenital heart disease, including innovations in imaging, intervention, surgery, and personalised care. We particularly encourage contributions that explore emerging technologies such as 3D modelling, virtual planning, and molecular diagnostics, as well as research aimed at refining patient pathways and enhancing quality of life.
We warmly welcome your valuable contributions to this evolving and impactful field.
