Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering the success and popularity of the two previous Special Issues published in the journal Children (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/children/special_issues/Research_Progress_Pediatric_Cardiology; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/children/special_issues/Y40A16K8JG), we are now releasing another issue aiming to gather original research papers and review articles focused on pediatric cardiology. I am honored to have been asked to serve as the Guest Editor for this valuable project again.
The world of cardiology has undergone a heavy and favorable revolution in recent years. Heart disease that previously seemed incurable can now be addressed with far better diagnostic and therapeutic ability than in the past. Opportunities for the percutaneous or surgical treatment of structural heart disease now permit much less invasive but effective interventions. In parallel, multimodal imaging techniques (advanced echocardiogram, magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac CT) allow for the visualization of the cardiovascular system as has never been possible before, helping our understanding of cardiomyopathies and structural alterations that underlie many diseases of the heart.
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 related to all aspects of this topic and, in particular, the understanding, management and improvement of cardiovascular diseases in children, are welcome.
Our work will be based on an interdisciplinary approach to disseminate advanced knowledge and evidence with the aim of improving 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 welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Massimo Mapelli
Guest Editor
