Abstract

Outcomes have improved significantly in pediatric cardiovascular disease in recent decades. The challenge now is to sustain these advances through innovative clinical trials, fundamental molecular investigations, genetics and genomics, and outreach to families, emphasizing the importance of participating in research. We describe several such efforts and provide a vision of the future for pediatric cardiovascular research.
