Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital heart disease has been the mainstay of practice and training in pediatric cardiology. There are numerous conditions that require the expertise of the pediatric cardiologist but do not have a medical home due to their multisystem involvement that has necessitated a multidisciplinary approach. More importantly, there is no adequate training provided during any specific specialty fellowship training to provide the armament for tailored management of these conditions spanning from pectus excavatum, vein of Galen malformations, multisystem inflammatory syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia to preventive cardiology. We invite original research (both clinical and translational) and review articles highlighting these niche multidisciplinary topics that have now superseded the congenital heart disease burden of clinical practice. Manuscripts addressing challenges and techniques to decrease adverse events and improve outcomes will be considered. We also invite case reports and series followed by a discussion that may stimulate the creation of new hypotheses and the advent of new research.
