 Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat28

 

Target Audience            

This activity is targeted toward primary care adult and pediatric specialties.

 

 Statement of Need

As patients with congenital heart disease are living longer into adulthood, ongoing management of the CHD is critical. Patients with complex CHD are at greater risk for premature death and therefore management of these patients is critical to help improve patient outcomes.

 

Objectives

At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:

  1. Define the epidemiology of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) within the United States.
  2. Describe common medical complications in ACHD and the multidisciplinary care required to manage those complications.
  3. Discuss how changes in pediatric cardiology and adult congenital care have shifted the mortality outcomes in ACHD.
