Track: Congenital Heart Diseases
Congenital is defined as "present at birth". The type of defect and how severe it is determined by the symptoms and course of action. Congenital heart disease can range from extremely mild issues that never need treatment to more serious issues that do. The symptoms of CHD can range from mild or nonexistent and not requiring any treatment to severe and requiring surgery. Prevention and timely treatment is important when it comes to controlling symptoms and therefore encouraging enhanced life prospects of affected individuals. Common types of CHD includes:
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): A hole in the septum, which separates the heart's two upper chambers (atria), allows oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich blood to mingle. Over time, this can increase blood pressure and cause the heart to grow.
- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): A hole in the septum that divides the heart's two bottom chambers, or ventricles, that permits blood to go from the left to the right ventricle, perhaps resulting in pulmonary hypertension or heart failure.
- Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF): A complex congenital cardiac defect made up of four anomalies: an overriding aorta that allows blood with insufficient oxygen content to enter the body, pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and a ventricle that is averting the septum.
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): A persistent opening between the aorta and pulmonary artery that should ordinarily seal after birth but remains open, resulting in increased blood flow to the lungs and heart overload.
There are numerous topics to be covered under the CHD are mentioned below:
- Innovations in Genetic Testing
- Environmental Impacts on Fetal Heart Development
- Recent Advances in Fetal Echocardiography
- Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
- Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
- Prolonged Results of Congenital Heart Surgery
- Transcatheter Techniques
- Device Closures of Septal Defects
- Heart Transplantation in Children
- Postoperative Problems
- Extended Monitoring and Assistance
- Impact of Congenital Heart Disease on Neurodevelopment
- Early Intervention Programs
- Cardiac MRI and CT in Congenital Heart Disease
- Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) in Children
If you have expertise in this field, our Heart conference 2025 is an excellent opportunity to share your knowledge. Joining the "Congenital Heart Diseases" session will allow you to engage with other specialists and give your thoughts to the discussion. Engage with colleagues, learn about the newest discoveries, and contribute to a discussion with your ideas.
