Topics that will be discussed

  1. Advances in Diagnosis and Imaging Techniques: Discussions on the latest diagnostic tools, such as echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and CT scans, and their applications in evaluating adult patients with congenital heart defects.                                                                                                               

  2. Surgical and Interventional Techniques: Presentations on the latest surgical and interventional procedures used in the treatment of complex congenital heart diseases, including minimally invasive approaches, catheter-based interventions, and hybrid procedures.                                                                                                                                                                 

  3. Transition from Pediatric to Adult Care: Discussions on the challenges and strategies involved in transitioning patients with CHD from pediatric cardiology care to adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) care, emphasizing the importance of long-term follow-up and comprehensive care.                                                                                                                           

  4.

  5. Adult Congenital Heart Disease Subtypes: In-depth discussions on specific congenital heart defects commonly encountered in adults, such as Tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, atrial septal defects, Ebstein's anomaly, Fontan circulation, etc., including their natural history, late complications, and treatment options.                                                                                                        

  6. Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension: Talks on the management of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension in adult patients with congenital heart disease, including medical therapies, device therapy (e.g., pacemakers, implantable defibrillators), and advanced heart failure options (e.g., heart transplantation, ventricular assist devices).
