Adult Congenital Heart Disease Cardiology

Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) cardiology is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating heart problems that were present at birth but not always detected until adulthood. These conditions can affect the heart's structure and function, leading to various health issues. ACHD cardiologists provide ongoing care, including monitoring, medication management, and sometimes surgery, to help patients maintain a good quality of life. As more adults with congenital heart defects live longer, this field is crucial in addressing their unique healthcare needs throughout their lifespan.
