Journal Title：Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital Heart Disease is an open-access journal focusing on congenital heart disease in children and adults. Though the number of infants born with heart disease each year is relatively small (approximately 1% of the population), advances in treating such malformations have led to increased life spans for this population. Consequently, today most patients treated for congenital heart disease are over the age of 20. What are the special needs of adults with congenital heart disease? What are the latest developments in the care of the fetus, infants, and children? Who should treat these patients? How should they be treated?

Congenital Heart Disease focuses on these questions and more. Conceived as a forum for the most up-to-date information on congenital heart disease, the journal is led by Editor-in-Chief Vladimiro L. Vida, MD, Ph.D., Professor in Cardiac Surgery, University of Padua in Italy, as well as an international editorial board. Congenital Heart Disease publishes articles on heart disease as it relates to the following areas:

? Basic research of congenital heart disease

? Clinical pediatric and adult cardiology

? Cardiac imaging

? Preventive cardiology

? Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization

? Electrophysiology

? Surgery

? Long-term follow-up, particularly as it relates to older children and adult congenital heart disease

? Exercise and exercise physiology in the congenital patient

? Post-op and critical care

? Common disorders such as syncope, chest pain, murmurs, as well as acquired disorders such as Kawasaki syndrome

The journal includes clinical studies, invited editorials, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, articles focusing on the history and development of congenital heart disease, and CME material. Occasional issues focus on special topics.

Readership: Congenital Heart Disease was created for pediatric cardiologists; adult cardiologists who care for patients with congenital heart disease; pediatric and pediatric cardiology nurses; surgeons; radiologists; anesthesiologists; critical care physicians and nurses; and adult support staff involved in the care of patients with congenital heart disease.

《先天性心臟病》是一本開放獲取期刊，專注于兒童和成人的先天性心臟病。盡管每年出生時(shí)患有心臟病的嬰兒數(shù)量相對(duì)較少（約占總?cè)丝诘?1%），但治療此類畸形的進(jìn)步已使這一人群的壽命延長(zhǎng)。因此，今天接受先天性心臟病治療的大多數(shù)患者年齡超過 20 歲。患有先天性心臟病的成年人有哪些特殊需求？胎兒、嬰兒和兒童護(hù)理的最新進(jìn)展是什么？誰應(yīng)該治療這些患者？他們應(yīng)該如何治療？

《先天性心臟病》關(guān)注這些問題以及更多問題。該期刊旨在成為先天性心臟病最新信息的論壇，由主編 Vladimiro L. Vida 博士（意大利帕多瓦大學(xué)心臟外科教授）以及國(guó)際編輯委員會(huì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。 《先天性心臟病》發(fā)表與以下領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的心臟病文章：

? 先天性心臟病的基礎(chǔ)研究

? 臨床兒科和成人心臟病學(xué)

? 心臟影像學(xué)

? 預(yù)防心臟病學(xué)

? 診斷和介入性心導(dǎo)管術(shù)

? 電生理學(xué)

? 外科手術(shù)

? 長(zhǎng)期隨訪，特別是與大齡兒童和成人先天性心臟病相關(guān)的隨訪

? 先天性患者的運(yùn)動(dòng)和運(yùn)動(dòng)生理學(xué)

? 術(shù)后和重癥監(jiān)護(hù)

? 常見疾病，如暈厥、胸痛、雜音，以及后天性疾病，如川崎綜合征

該期刊包括臨床研究、特邀社論、最新評(píng)論、病例報(bào)告、側(cè)重于先天性心臟病的歷史和發(fā)展，以及 CME 材料。偶爾會(huì)有專題關(guān)注特殊主題。

讀者群：《先天性心臟病》是為兒科心臟病專家、照顧先天性心臟病患者的成人心臟病專家、兒科和兒科心臟病學(xué)護(hù)士、外科醫(yī)生、放射科醫(yī)生、麻醉師、重癥監(jiān)護(hù)醫(yī)生和護(hù)士以及參與照顧先天性心臟病患者的成人支持人員編寫的。

Congenital Heart Disease創(chuàng)刊于2006年，由Tech Science Press出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋CARDIAC & CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對(duì)較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數(shù)0.3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
