The advancement in corrective surgical procedures and anaesthesia technology has resulted in the increase
survival of patients with Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD). Most of the surviving CHD patients have successfully reached
adulthood and those surviving adults now outnumber the infants born with the CHD. Unfortunately, the surviving adults
with CHD do not get proper care due to either inconsistent follow up or not getting care from a specialist in the field of
CHD. It is imperative for general practicing clinicians to be aware of the congenital diseases as well as the current clinical
recommendations. This manuscript reviews some of the common congenital diseases seen in adults such as cardiac
shunts, left heat obstructive lesions and aortopathies.
