About the 6^thWorld Congress on Paediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery

The World Congress is held every four years and is the major international scientific event for our global paediatric cardio-community and an opportunity to highlight and review four years of research and technological developments in basic sciences, clinical research and therapeutic interventions. A major theme for this 6^th Congress is new imaging modalities which have greatly enhanced the diagnostic power, enabled dramatic new interventions and assisted and guided a great number of surgical innovations. The deployment of these latest tools in the determination of ventricular size and function, and in the analysis of valve performance in rheumatic disease are two focal points for this Congress.
