Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric cardiology continues to evolve rapidly, integrating advanced diagnostic modalities, innovative interventional techniques, and translational research to improve outcomes for children with congenital and acquired heart disease. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of current clinical challenges and emerging solutions in pediatric cardiovascular medicine. We welcome original research articles and reviews addressing congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, heart failure, preventive cardiology, and long-term follow-up in pediatric cardiac patients.
An emphasis will be placed on multidisciplinary management strategies, early diagnosis, precision medicine, and the transition of care into adulthood. By bringing together contributions from clinicians and researchers worldwide, this Special Issue will bridge the gap between bench and bedside, fostering innovation and improving evidence-based practice in pediatric cardiology.
