Congenital Heart Disease

The Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Learning Pathway at ACC.26 will provide state-of-the-art education on the most pressing topics in congenital cardiology. From early innovations in fetal intervention to complex decisions in adulthood, this year's program brings together adult and pediatric experts to share insights that span the full spectrum of CHD.

This year's sessions highlight lifelong care and multidisciplinary decision-making, addressing challenges such as single vs. biventricular repair strategies, team-based approaches to congenital valve disease, and the integration of palliative care across the patient journey. Attendees will explore innovations in imaging and interventions across the lifespan, with updates on fetal cardiac interventions, multimodality imaging, exercise testing, Fontan management, and evolving approaches to aortopathy. Finally, sessions focused on data, technology, and the future of CHD care will examine the real-world impact of registries and the promise of AI for risk stratification.
