Cardiology and Pulmonology addresses the intersection of cardiac and respiratory health in children—from congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension to chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This session gathers pediatric cardiologists, pulmonologists, intensivists, respiratory therapists and primary care clinicians with an interest in integrated cardiopulmonary care. Presentations will highlight diagnostic pathways (advanced echocardiography, fetal cardiology screening, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, spirometry and impulse oscillometry for younger children), contemporary interventional and surgical options, as well as long-term management strategies that prioritise function, growth and quality of life.

The programme emphasises multidisciplinary care models—joint cardiopulmonary clinics, coordinated transition planning and shared decision-making frameworks for complex patients. Speakers of Pediatric Cardiology Conference will present innovations in non-invasive monitoring, tele-pulmonology approaches for remote symptom management, and novel pharmacotherapies for pulmonary hypertension and severe asthma phenotypes. Sessions on perioperative care discuss strategies to minimise respiratory complications, and panels explore rehabilitation and pulmonary hygiene regimens that support recovery in chronic conditions.

Translational research segments will cover genotype–phenotype correlations for inherited cardiac disorders and genetic contributors to childhood pulmonary disease, while quality-improvement modules will guide teams in creating registries, measuring outcomes and implementing care bundles that reduce readmission and improve growth trajectories.
