Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Medical and surgical advances have ensured that the majority of children born with congenital heart disease will thrive in adulthood. Ensuring a smooth transition from pediatric cardiology to adult care and providing a comprehensive approach to congenital cardiac care in adulthood is our specialty.
