Specializing in the Most Complex Cases
The future is bright for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), but medical problems can arise years or decades later. It may seem that your heart condition was repaired when you were a child. But depending on your condition, as an adult you may need a specialist trained in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) to monitor potential medical problems in the future.
