Overview

The landscape of congenital heart disease has been permanently transformed. Conditions once confined to childhood now define a lifelong clinical journey, demanding a level of expertise that extends beyond traditional cardiology boundaries. Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease is written for this new reality-where survival has evolved into longevity, and complexity has replaced cure. This book presents adult congenital cardiology as its own distinct discipline, shaped by residual anatomy, prior surgical repairs, evolving physiology, and age-related comorbidities. It moves beyond descriptive pathology to offer a structured, clinically grounded approach to evaluating and managing adult patients with congenital heart disease. Advanced diagnostic strategies, contemporary imaging, and individualized management pathways are woven together to support precise, patient-centered decision-making across the lifespan. Rather than viewing congenital defects as static entities, the text frames them as dynamic conditions that interact with time, intervention, and systemic change. Readers are guided through critical issues unique to adult congenital care, including late complications, arrhythmogenic risk, pregnancy and reproductive counseling, pulmonary vascular disease, heart failure, and the long-term consequences of childhood interventions. Emphasis is placed on continuity of care, transitional medicine, and multidisciplinary collaboration-core pillars of modern adult congenital practice. Authoritative yet practical, this volume serves as both a conceptual framework and a clinical compass. It is designed for cardiologists, internists, subspecialists, and advanced trainees who require more than algorithms-who need insight into the lifelong narrative of congenital heart disease. Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease redefines how clinicians understand, approach, and steward care for a growing and uniquely complex adult population.
