Congenital heart disease in adults
2015The number of patients with congenital heart disease surviving to adulthood is increasing, with many requiring ongoing medical attention. Although recommendations are that these patients should be cared for in specialist centres, the clinical state of the acutely unwell patient may preclude transfer prior to the instigation of lifesaving treatment ...

Adult Congenital Heart Disease
2020Congenital heart disease remains the most common congenital disorder in newborns and affects 0.4%–1% of the population. The spectrum of defects is wide and ranges from small and hemodynamically insignificant lesions to very complex conditions, such as functionally univentricular hearts with a variety of associated lesions.

Heart Failure in Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2014Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients represent a special population in modern cardiology: though their numbers are growing, and they represent a high-resource utilization subgroup, a robust evidence-base of randomized trials is lacking. Much of the standard therapy is adapted from the treatment of ischemic and idiopathic left ventricle ...

Adult Congenital Heart Diseases
2019The study of congenital heart diseases is one of the most complex topics, since it requires anatomical, physiological and surgical knowledge. CMR allows a better morphological and functional evaluation of congenital heart diseases (CHD) compared with echocardiography, due to the capability of performing unlimited sections without any limitation as for ...

Adult Congenital Heart Disease
2017Advances in medical and surgical care over the past few decades have dramatically improved the survival rate of the adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD). This population presents unique challenges for clinical management, often made difficult by limitations of standard 2-dimensional imaging techniques.
