History & Future of Pediatric Cardiology | Dr. Emile Bacha | KidsHeart Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain

In this captivating presentation from the 11th International Pediatric Conference, world-renowned pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. Emile Bacha traces the evolution of pediatric cardiology, from the first heart procedures of the 1930s to the latest innovations in transplant medicine and artificial intelligence. The session is presented by KidsHeart Medical Center, with a presence across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Dr. Bacha outlines the historical milestones that revolutionized care for children with congenital heart conditions—such as the Blalock-Taussig shunt, the cardiopulmonary bypass machine, and the Norwood procedure. He explains how medications like Prostaglandin E1 and immunosuppressants like Cyclosporine dramatically improved survival and transplant outcomes. The lecture also explores promising frontiers like xenotransplantation, especially for regions like the UAE where donor availability is limited.

The talk reflects on the current use of Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and emphasizes the growing role of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, surgery, and patient care. Dr. Bacha highlights that excellent outcomes depend not just on surgical skill, but also on a collaborative, high-performing medical team and an infrastructure that can support complex cases with consistency.
