Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital heart disease is a field in which disruptive innovation and progress have globally transformed the lives of millions of people born with the condition over the last decades. However, far from being cured the majority of patients continue to be afflicted by ongoing morbidity and mortality. Congenital heart disease represents a chronic, life-long disease that affects multiple organ systems beyond the heart and the lungs. Continuing global efforts are required to improve the fate of people born with congenital heart disease. These include research focusing on clinical management, prognostication, and disease modification. As a result of the heterogeneity of the condition and fragmented care pattern, new concepts of big data analysis and machine learning will be essential in this context. We cordially invite contributions across the spectrum of disease for this unique issue focusing on the evolving cohort of patients with congenital heart disease.
Kind regards,
Prof. Gerhard-Paul Diller
Guest Editor
