Abstract

Recent advancements in pediatric cardiology have significantly improved the diagnosis and management of congenital heart
disease (CHD), incorporating advanced imaging, refined surgical methods, and catheter-based interventions. The evolving fields
of fetal cardiology and interventional cardiology offer expanded treatment options, while genetic testing provides crucial insights
into conditions like cardiomyopathy. Progress in intensive care, arrhythmia management, and targeted therapies for pulmonary
arterial hypertension enhance overall patient outcomes. Diagnostic precision is boosted by advanced echocardiography, and pediatric
heart transplantation protocols are continuously improving. Furthermore, addressing childhood obesity through early screening and
lifestyle interventions remains vital for mitigating long-term cardiovascular risks.
