Expanding Population

Patients with grown-up congenital heart disease (GUCH) constitute an expanding population. This population presents in such a way that is different from children with congenital heart disease and from adults with acquired heart disease and therefore requires a specialized multidisciplinary care. In addition to a specialized GUCH cardiologist, imaging specialists, interventional cardiologists, and GUCH surgeons constitute the backbone of the GUCH Heart Team. The aim of this integrative care is to secure a good quality of social, practical, and private life of the patient and, at the same time, minimize the number of interventions in a lifetime.
