Advanced Heart Failure Therapies in ACHD

Advanced heart failure therapies for adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) address severe heart problems when standard treatments aren’t enough. These options include specialized medications, mechanical devices like ventricular assist devices (VADs) to support blood flow, and heart transplantation. These therapies aim to improve quality of life, prolong survival, and manage symptoms effectively. Because ACHD patients often have complex heart conditions, treatment plans are personalized, involving a multidisciplinary team to assess risks and determine the most appropriate intervention. Advanced therapies are a vital part of managing severe heart failure in this unique population.
