Educational Objective:
This symposium will focus on the role of the pediatric neurologist in caring for infants with
congenital heart disease. We will review recent advances in brain imaging and genomics
and the clinical neurologic evaluation of infants with congenital heart disease to identify
those at highest risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Participants will also
develop an understanding of neuromonitoring tools and neurocritical care strategies used
in the care of critically ill infants with congenital heart disease to prevent brain injury and
promote optimal neurodevelopmental outcomes.
