Track: Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease

Cardio Care Conference 2025

The "Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease" session will focus on the latest advancements in diagnosing and treating heart conditions in children, from birth through adolescence. It will explore cutting-edge diagnostic tools and imaging techniques that enhance early detection and intervention for congenital heart defects. The session will highlight innovative treatments, including minimally invasive surgeries and advanced technologies, designed to manage complex congenital heart conditions. With a forward-looking approach, this session will offer valuable insights into improving long-term outcomes and quality of life for children with heart disease.

Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs): Explore the most common congenital heart defects, such as ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD), tetralogy of Fallot, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. 

Pediatric Heart Failure: Discuss the causes and management of heart failure in children, including dilated cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, and post-surgical heart failure. Focus on treatment options such as pharmacologic therapy, device implantation, and heart transplantation.

Fetal Cardiology: Learn about the latest advancements in fetal cardiology, including the use of fetal echocardiography for early detection of congenital heart defects, and the evolving role of genetic screening in identifying at-risk pregnancies. 

Neonatal and Infant Cardiovascular Care: Examine the unique challenges of managing newborns and infants with heart disease, including early diagnosis, palliative care, and the role of surgical interventions in the first year of life.

Cardiac Arrhythmias in Children: Learn about the identification and treatment of arrhythmias in pediatric patients, including supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), long QT syndrome, and ventricular arrhythmias. 

Surgical and Interventional Approaches: Explore the latest techniques in the surgical and catheter-based management of congenital heart disease, including cardiac catheterization, balloon atrial septostomy, and open-heart surgery.

Innovations in Pediatric Cardiovascular Care: Learn about the latest advancements in pediatric cardiology, including 3D printing for surgical planning, gene therapy, and biomaterials used in congenital heart disease interventions.
