An increasing number of studies are addressing the neurodevelopmental impacts of CHD, emphasizing the need for comprehensive care that integrates psychological and developmental assessments. - Telehealth and Remote Monitoring:
Research is increasingly focusing on the effectiveness of telehealth services in managing pediatric cardiac patients, particularly in light of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. - Advancements in Surgical Techniques and Devices:
There is a growing emphasis on innovative surgical techniques and devices, including minimally invasive approaches and the use of new materials and technologies in cardiac interventions. - Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C):
Emerging research is targeting the understanding and management of MIS-C, particularly its cardiovascular implications following COVID-19 infection. - Family-Centered Care Initiatives:
Research is trending toward understanding the role of family-centered care in pediatric cardiology, highlighting the importance of parental involvement and support systems in treatment outcomes.
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.
