Track: Pediatric & Women’s Cardiology

Heart 2025 Conference - Pediatric Cardiology & Women’s Cardiology

Pediatric and women’s cardiology are specialized fields addressing distinct needs in cardiovascular care. Pediatric cardiology focuses on congenital and acquired heart conditions in children, including structural abnormalities, arrhythmias, and Kawasaki disease. Advances in diagnostics, minimally invasive surgeries, and gene therapy are transforming outcomes for young patients.

Women’s cardiology highlights gender-specific cardiovascular risks, such as pregnancy-related complications (preeclampsia, gestational hypertension), hormonal influences, and higher prevalence of microvascular angina. Women often experience atypical symptoms and are underdiagnosed, emphasizing the need for targeted research and education.

This session explores the latest trends, including the use of fetal echocardiography, 3D imaging for congenital defects, and gender-specific preventive cardiology strategies. Market analysis reveals growing investments in pediatric and women’s cardiology technologies, driven by increasing awareness and demand for specialized care.

Key Topics to Be Discussed:

1. Advances in Pediatric Cardiology
Explore breakthroughs in treating congenital heart defects, such as 3D printing for surgical planning, catheter-based interventions, and regenerative therapies. The discussion will also cover advancements in fetal cardiology and early diagnosis using non-invasive imaging.

2. Gender-Specific Cardiovascular Risks in Women
This topic focuses on unique cardiovascular challenges in women, including hormonal influences, autoimmune diseases, and pregnancy-related complications. Strategies for early detection and management of ischemic heart disease and microvascular angina will be emphasized.

3. Role of Imaging in Pediatric and Women’s Cardiology
Learn about cutting-edge imaging technologies, such as 4D echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and CT, that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning for pediatric and women’s heart conditions.

4. Cardiovascular Care During Pregnancy
A focused discussion on managing cardiovascular health during pregnancy, including the risks of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and postpartum cardiomyopathy. Topics include multidisciplinary care approaches and advancements in maternal-fetal cardiology.

5. Psychosocial and Lifestyle Interventions
Understand the psychosocial aspects of pediatric and women’s cardiology, including mental health challenges in young heart patients and lifestyle modifications tailored for women to reduce cardiovascular risks.

Summary:

This session addresses critical aspects of pediatric and women’s cardiology, equipping attendees with:

Insights into innovative treatments for congenital heart defects in children.
Understanding of gender-specific cardiovascular risks and tailored management strategies.
Knowledge of advanced imaging technologies enhancing diagnostic precision.
Expertise in managing cardiovascular health during pregnancy through multidisciplinary approaches.
Awareness of psychosocial and lifestyle interventions for holistic care.

Participants will gain actionable knowledge to improve care delivery for these specialized populations, fostering early intervention, preventive strategies, and personalized treatments to enhance patient outcomes.
