AB  - Approximately  90%  of  children  born  with  congenital  heart  disease  (CHD)  are  expected  to  reach  adulthood.1  With  advances  in  surgical  and  medical  treatment,  there  are  now  more  adults  than  children  living  with  CHD,2  with  a  current  estimated  1.3  million  adults  with  CHD  in  the  United  States.3–5  This  burgeoning  population  is  accompanied  by  a  set  of  specialized  healthcare  needs  and  quality-of-life  concerns.  Understanding  what  to  expect  for  patients,  parents,  and  their  healthcare  providers  is  essential  for  the  well-  being  and  adjustment  of  these  children  as  they  grow  up  into  young  adulthood  and  beyond.
