Care of the adult with congenital heart disease
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008The population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is growing to the extent that there are now more adults than children with CHD. As this population ages, these patients will need optimal medical care, will be at risk for clinically significant noncardiac comorbidities, and will require methods to decrease adverse outcomes.
