Track 8: Paediatric Cardiology – Protecting the Hearts of Our Youngest Patients

 


5th World Cardiology and Cardiovascular Diseases Conference | March 04–06, 2026 | Dubai, UAE

The heart is at the center of life—and when that heart belongs to a child, every beat matters even more. Paediatric cardiology is a vital and dynamic field that addresses congenital and acquired heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. At the 5th World Cardiology and Cardiovascular Diseases Conference, Track 8: Paediatric Cardiology will unite global experts to share advances in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention that are giving children with heart disease the best possible start in life.

Why Paediatric Cardiology Matters

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common birth defects worldwide, affecting nearly 1% of all live births. Advances in fetal imaging, surgical techniques, and post-operative care have dramatically improved survival rates—but early diagnosis, multidisciplinary collaboration, and long-term follow-up remain essential for optimal outcomes.

What Track 8 Will Cover

1. Advances in Fetal and Neonatal Cardiac Imaging
Explore the latest in echocardiography, fetal MRI, and prenatal screening methods that allow for early detection and intervention before birth.

2. Surgical and Catheter-Based Interventions
Sessions will cover innovative surgical approaches for complex CHDs and the expanding role of transcatheter procedures, including PDA closure, balloon valvuloplasty, and hybrid operations.

3. Managing Acquired Heart Disease in Children
Updates on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, and Kawasaki disease—especially in low-resource settings.

4. Long-Term Outcomes and Transition to Adult Care
As survival rates increase, more children with CHDs are reaching adulthood. Learn about structured transition programs to ensure smooth, continuous care.

5. Pediatric Heart Failure and Transplantation
Discussions on managing advanced heart failure in young patients, including mechanical circulatory support and pediatric heart transplantation.

6. Psychosocial and Developmental Support
Understanding that heart health in children is not just physical, this track will also focus on quality of life, growth, and emotional well-being for young patients and their families.

Why Attend Track 8

From pioneering surgeons and pediatric cardiologists to nurses, imaging specialists, and allied health professionals, Track 8 offers invaluable updates and practical insights for anyone committed to improving outcomes for children with heart disease. The collaborative spirit of this track ensures that every participant leaves with tools to make a real difference.

Dubai: Inspiring a Global Dialogue

The conference’s location in Dubai, a city known for its innovation and diversity, provides the perfect platform for international collaboration. Participants will engage in discussions that bridge research, clinical practice, and policy to benefit children across the globe.

Final Thoughts

Children with heart disease face challenges that demand precision, compassion, and innovation from their healthcare teams. Track 8: Paediatric Cardiology is a call to action for all who work to protect and heal young hearts.

🫀 Join us in Dubai, March 04–06, 2026.
Together, we can give every child’s heart the chance to grow stronger.
