Adult congenital heart disease

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
There are approximately 500,000 adults in the United States with congenital heart disease, and this group is growing at 5% per year. Adult cardiologists are, for the most part, poorly trained in the treatment of congenital heart disease; pediatric cardiologists, on the other hand, work in children's hospitals where it is difficult to care for adults ...
