Declining or Waning
- Historical Perspectives on Pediatric Cardiology:
There seems to be a decline in the publication of historical analyses or retrospective reviews, possibly overshadowed by the focus on contemporary clinical practices and innovations. - Basic Science Research:
The emphasis on laboratory-based research and basic science topics appears to be waning, with a greater concentration on clinical applications and direct patient care. - Case Reports of Rare Anomalies:
While still valuable, the frequency of case reports detailing extremely rare congenital heart defects has diminished, potentially due to a shift towards broader population studies and clinical trials. - Pharmacological Studies in Pediatric Cardiology:
Research focusing specifically on pharmacological interventions, particularly older medications, seems to be decreasing as newer therapies and treatment protocols gain prominence.
