Journal Overview

Structural and Congenital Heart Disease


Aims & Scope

Structural and Congenital Heart Disease is committed to publishing high-quality research covering structural heart diseases—including those involving the cardiac valves, myocardium, pericardium, great vessels, conduction system and others—as well as congenital heart diseases across the full lifespan. The journal aims to establish a leading multidisciplinary platform that promotes deeper understanding of these conditions and supports the continued development of basic science, clinical research, and technological innovation in this field.


Scope of Coverage

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Clinical Care and Prevention: Surgical and transcatheter interventions, electrophysiology and arrhythmias, perioperative and critical care, long-term outcomes, secondary prevention, rehabilitation, and population-level prevention strategies.

2. Diagnostics and Disease Mechanisms: Multimodality imaging, physiology, epidemiology, genetics, and molecular pathways.

3. Cross-Disciplinary and Emerging Fields: Developmental biology, data science, behavioral and psychological sciences, and other interdisciplinary approaches.

4. Disease-Specific Focus: Conditions such as end-stage heart disease, Kawasaki disease, and other congenital or acquired structural disorders.
