Which statement is FALSE about congenital heart disease population?
1. More children than adults have congenital heart disease.
2. It is the fastest growing population of heart disorders in adults.
3. >90% of children born with congenital heart disease reach adulthood.
4. Adults with CHD require specialized care.
What is TRUE about Adult congenital heart disease care?
1. Most patients are seen in specialized ACHD clinics
2. Majority of patients are seen by pediatric cardiologists.
3. Majority of the patients are seeing adult cardiologists
4. Majority of the patients are lost to follow-up
What is true about ACHD subspecialty?
1. No specific training. Adult cardiologists are comfortable in taking care of ACHD patients.
2. No additional training required. Pediatric cardiologists are qualified to take care of ACHD patients.
3. Additional years of training beyond pediatric or adult cardiology required for expertise in ACHD care. There is additional board certification.
ACHD population
• 40,000 infants born with CHD/ year • THE most common birth defect • Successful outcome is a moving target
– Surviving initial surgical repair – Surviving to 1 year of age – Normal childhood – Normal adolescence

ACHD population • High risk group of young individuals
• Requires specialized and multidisciplinary care.

Who is providing the care? • Many being seen by Pediatric Cardiologists NOT
trained in ACHD
• Many being seen by Adult Cardiologists NOT trained in ACHD
• Few being seen in ACHD clinics
• Several have been lost to follow-up

Understanding Loss of CHD Follow-Up
Adapted from: Mackie A, et al. Circulation. 2009;120:302-309.
Reasons for being “Lost”
Patient Obstacles: • Patient assumes “cure” • Poor communication
from parents or pediatrician
• Loss of previous health records
• Gradual symptom onset Lack of health insurance
Physician Obstacles: • Physician assumes “cure” • Uninformed about
specific potential problems
• No prior records available • No reported symptoms • Symptoms ascribed to
more common causes
ACHD clinic: recurring themes
• Patients not aware of their medical and surgical history
• They receive inappropriate medical or surgical treatment
• Patients are misinformed.
Group 1: Simple CHD
• Unrepaired conditions: – Isolated small ASD – Isolated small VSD – Mild pulmonic stenosis
• Repaired conditions: PDA ASD VSD
Repaired or unrepaired conditions • Isolated aortic valve
disease • Isolated mitral valve
disease • Isolated patent foramen
ovale (PFO)
Patients should be seen at ACHD center at least once
32nd Bethesda Conference for care of ACHD
Group 2: Moderately complex CHD Repaired or Unrepaired: • Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from
Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)
• Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (partial or total)
• Atrioventricular (AV) canal/septal defects (partial or complete)
• Ostium primum or sinus venosus ASDs.
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Ebstein’s anomaly
• Infundibular right ventricular outflow
obstruction (moderate to severe)
• Pulmonary valve regurgitation (moderate to severe)
• Pulmonic valve stenosis (moderate to severe)
• Sinus of Valsalva fistula/aneurysm
• Subvalvar or supravalvar aortic stenosis
• Tetralogy of Fallot
• VSD with any valve problems
Patients should be seen periodically at an ACHD center
32nd Bethesda Conference for care of ACHD
Group 3: Greatly complex CHD Repaired or Unrepaired: • Congenitally Corrected Transposition
of the Great Arteries (ccTGA or l-TGA) • Double outlet ventricle • Mitral atresia • Pulmonary atresia (all forms) • Pulmonary vascular obstructive
diseases • Shone’s Syndrome • Single Ventricle—all forms • Transposition of the Great Arteries
(d-TGA) • Tricuspid atresia • Truncus arteriosus/hemitruncus • Other abnormalities of AV
connections (i.e., crisscross heart, isomerism, heterotaxy syndromes)
All patients who have undergone the following procedures: • Arterial switch procedure • Blalock-Taussig shunt • Any Conduit(s), valved or nonvalved • Double-switch procedure • Fontan procedure • Mustard procedure • Norwood procedure • Rastelli procedure • Senning procedure
All Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome All Patients who are cyanotic (“blue”)
Patients should be seen regularly at ACHD center.
32nd Bethesda Conference for care of ACHD
When to refer
• If your patient had a surgery named after a physician.
• When more than one isolated structural defect is present.
• You can’t figure out anatomy in 5 seconds
• Your patient has never been seen by an ACHD physician
Additional material
Transplantation in ACHD
• Complex anatomy with multiple prior surgeries
• Highly sensitized
• Increased pulmonary vascular resistance
• Concomitant organ dysfunction e.g. liver
