Summary

Heart disease is a common congenital abnormality, affecting 5–9 per 1,000 newborns. Successful evolution of treatment strategies has led to a significant reduction in the number of deaths from congenital heart disease (CHD) in children and this dramatic success has led to increased adult survivors with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Survival into adulthood is now more than 90% and estimates suggest that there are more than 2 million adults in the USA with ACHD; three times the number of children with CHD.
