5th International Conference on Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases

Advances in paediatric cardiac surgery and transcatheter intervention have dramatically transformed congenital heart disease from a condition with near-universal childhood mortality to one where the majority of patients survive into adulthood creating a growing population of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) who require lifelong specialist follow-up. The Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology session examines transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement, catheter-based closure of complex septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus, foetal cardiac intervention, the unique cardiovascular risk profile and arrhythmia burden in ACHD, heart failure management in univentricular circulation, and the application of AI and 3D printing in congenital cardiac anatomy planning.

Key Discussion Areas

• Fetal diagnosis and prenatal counseling for congenital heart defects
• Advances in catheter-based repair of congenital lesions
• The growing population of adults living with congenital heart disease and their long-term care needs
• Surgical strategy evolution for complex single-ventricle physiology
• Genetic and syndromic associations in congenital heart disease
• Transition-of-care models from pediatric to adult congenital programs

Scientific Themes in This Track
