Journal Title：Congenital Heart Disease

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 syndrome

The 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.

《先天性心臟病》是一本開放獲取期刊，專注于兒童和成人的先天性心臟病。盡管每年出生時患有心臟病的嬰兒數量相對較少（約占總人口的 1%），但治療此類畸形的進步已使這一人群的壽命延長。因此，今天接受先天性心臟病治療的大多數患者年齡超過 20 歲。患有先天性心臟病的成年人有哪些特殊需求？胎兒、嬰兒和兒童護理的最新進展是什么？誰應該治療這些患者？他們應該如何治療？

《先天性心臟病》關注這些問題以及更多問題。該期刊旨在成為先天性心臟病最新信息的論壇，由主編 Vladimiro L. Vida 博士（意大利帕多瓦大學心臟外科教授）以及國際編輯委員會領導。 《先天性心臟病》發表與以下領域相關的心臟病文章：

? 先天性心臟病的基礎研究

? 臨床兒科和成人心臟病學

? 心臟影像學

? 預防心臟病學

? 診斷和介入性心導管術

? 電生理學

? 外科手術

? 長期隨訪，特別是與大齡兒童和成人先天性心臟病相關的隨訪

? 先天性患者的運動和運動生理學

? 術后和重癥監護

? 常見疾病，如暈厥、胸痛、雜音，以及后天性疾病，如川崎綜合征

該期刊包括臨床研究、特邀社論、最新評論、病例報告、側重于先天性心臟病的歷史和發展，以及 CME 材料。偶爾會有專題關注特殊主題。

讀者群：《先天性心臟病》是為兒科心臟病專家、照顧先天性心臟病患者的成人心臟病專家、兒科和兒科心臟病學護士、外科醫生、放射科醫生、麻醉師、重癥監護醫生和護士以及參與照顧先天性心臟病患者的成人支持人員編寫的。
