Historically, individuals with complex congenital heart disease rarely lived past childhood. Due to tremendous advances in diagnosis and treatment, now 85–90% of children born with congenital heart disease will survive into adulthood. Estimates suggest that over 1 million adults with congenital heart disease currently live in the United States. The number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is growing by approximately 5% each year. The majority of these patients do not appear to be followed by ACHD specialists. Therefore, it is essential that all physicians familiarize themselves with the unique clinical presentations of these patients, including the anatomy, physiology, and natural history in order to facilitate proper management and referral.
