Abstract

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents the most common congenital anomaly, affecting approximately 1% of live births worldwide. This systematic review aims to evaluate current evidence on the role of pediatric cardiology in the management of congenital heart disease.
Methods: The study followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines, reviewing English-language publications from 2015 to 2025. Editorials, duplicate reviews from the same journal, and papers lacking a DOI were excluded. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar.
Result: A total of 2,172 articles were initially identified through online databases (PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar). After three rounds of screening, eight relevant studies were selected for full-text analysis.
Conclusion: Pediatric cardiology is essential in CHD management, ensuring early diagnosis, specialized interventions, and lifelong care. Advancements in technology and early detection enhance outcomes, while ongoing research and healthcare improvements remain crucial for optimizing survival rates and quality of life.
