Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prognosis of congenital heart disease has improved tremendously over time. Many diagnostic modalities have been developed to evaluate and follow these patients. For many years, echocardiography has been the main imaging modality for diagnosis and management. New developments, such as three-dimensional echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging and speckle tracking strain echocardiography, have led to a better understanding of morphology and function. By using these modalities, a more precise prediction of prognosis can be given. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for high-quality publications related to the discipline of echocardiography in congenital heart disease, from fetus to adult. We welcome submissions in the form of original research, case reports, and review articles that highlight the current and evolving areas of this specialism. Potential topics include, but are not restricted to, diagnosis, prediction algorithms, screening, and follow-up.
