Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult: What Should the Adult Cardiologist Know?
Current cardiology reports(2015)
摘要
There is an increasing population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) due to successful pediatric medical and surgical intervention, and commensurate with this increase is a rise in heart failure, hospital admissions, and hospital costs among adult CHD patients. This group of patients requires careful long-term evaluation and follow-up of the residua and sequelae of their cardiac anomalies that arise in adulthood to prevent late complications. This article addresses congenital heart defects that are encountered in a general adult cardiology practice and reviews clinical, anatomic, and imaging features of each lesion, fundamental management issues, indications for interventions (and often re-interventions), issues related to endocarditis prophylaxis, pregnancy, and appropriateness of referral to a dedicated adult CHD program for long-term care.
