Clinical Diagnosis, Management and Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to a group of structural heart abnormalities that are present at birth. It is a complex and diverse condition, affecting individuals of all ages and requiring specialized medical attention. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in the clinical understanding, management, and treatment of CHD.

Over the years, significant progress has been made in the diagnosis and evaluation of CHD, facilitated by advanced imaging techniques and genetic testing. Improved screening programs and early detection have enhanced patient outcomes, leading to timely interventions and better management strategies. Cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches have revolutionized the management of CHD. Minimally invasive procedures, transcatheter interventions, and 3D printing have expanded treatment options and offered personalized solutions for complex cases. Moreover, advances in medical devices and surgical techniques continue to enhance quality of life for CHD patients.

We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and clinical studies that contribute to the existing knowledge of CHD. Submissions should focus on clinical insights, recent progress, and the application of new technologies in the field.

Dr. Xavier Iriart
Guest Editor
