Congenital Heart Disease

期刊简介：Congenital Heart Disease is an open-access journal focusing on congenital heart disease in children and adults. Though the number of infants born with heart disease each year is relatively small (approximately 1% of the population), advances in treating such malformations have led to increased life spans for this population. Consequently, today most patients treated for congenital heart disease are over the age of 20. What are the special needs of adults with congenital heart disease? What are the latest developments in the care of the fetus, infants, and children? Who should treat these patients? How should they be treated? Congenital Heart Disease focuses on these questions and more. Conceived as a forum for the most up-to-date information on congenital heart disease, the journal is led by Editor-in-Chief Vladimiro L. Vida, MD, Ph.D., Professor in Cardiac Surgery, University of Padua in Italy, as well as an international editorial board. Congenital Heart Disease publishes articles on heart disease as it relates to the following areas:• Basic research of congenital heart disease• Clinical pediatric and adult cardiology• Cardiac imaging• Preventive cardiology• Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization• Electrophysiology• Surgery• Long-term follow-up, particularly as it relates to older children and adult congenital heart disease• Exercise and exercise physiology in the congenital patient• Post-op and critical care• Common disorders such as syncope, chest pain, murmurs, as well as acquired disorders such as Kawasaki syndromeThe journal includes clinical studies, invited editorials, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, articles focusing on the history and development of congenital heart disease, and CME material. Occasional issues focus on special topics.Readership: Congenital Heart Disease was created for pediatric cardiologists; adult cardiologists who care for patients with congenital heart disease; pediatric and pediatric cardiology nurses; surgeons; radiologists; anesthesiologists; critical care physicians and nurses; and adult support staff involved in the care of patients with congenital heart disease.

Vida博士担任主编，以及一个国际编委会领导。先天性心脏病期刊发表与以下领域相关的心脏病文章：• 先天性心脏病的基研• 临床儿科和成人心脏病学• 心脏影像学• 预防心脏病学• 诊断和介入性心脏导管术• 电生理学• 外科手术• 长期随访，尤其是与较大儿童和成人先天性心脏病相关• 先天性患者的运动和运动生理学• 手术后和重症监护• 常见疾病，如晕厥、胸痛、杂音，以及后天性疾病，如川崎病。该期刊包括临床研究、特邀社论、最新综述、病例报告、关注先天性心脏病历史和发展的文章，以及CME材料。偶尔的期刊会关注特殊主题。读者群：先天性心脏病期刊是为儿科心脏病学家；照顾先天性心脏病患者的成人心脏病学家；儿科和儿科心脏病护士；外科医生；放射学家；麻醉师；重症监护医生和护士；以及参与先天性心脏病患者护理的成人支持人员而创建的。
