The Adult Congenital Heart Clinic is a valuable resource for adults who were born with heart abnormalities and for physicians who manage their complex medical care. It is the only clinic of its kind in the Washington metropolitan area. It was created in response to a need for medical management of rare and complex disorders in patients who, in earlier generations, probably would not have lived beyond childhood.
For adults experiencing medical problems related to their congenital heart defects, the adult congenital heart clinic provides multidisciplinary services in one convenient location. Clinic services include specialized case management and access to the latest medical information and treatment options. Pediatric and adult cardiologists along with adult/pediatric cardiac surgeons create a partnership and make up the clinic's core team. Other medical experts are available for consultations whenever they are needed.
