Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) refers to heart conditions that a person is born with but may not be diagnosed until adulthood. These heart defects can affect the heart's structure and function, leading to various symptoms or complications. Advances in medical care have improved survival rates, allowing many individuals to live into adulthood with these conditions. However, they often require ongoing monitoring and care from specialized healthcare providers. Managing ACHD is crucial for maintaining heart health and overall well-being throughout a patient’s life. Regular check-ups can help address any emerging issues effectively.
