AB Pediatric  and  young  adult  patients  with  congenital  heart  disease  (CHD)  represent  a  population  with  unique  medical  issues,  who  pose  a  challenge  to  the  primary  care  physician  (PCP).  Advances  in  pediatric  cardiology  and  cardiac  surgery  have  resulted  in  an  increasing  number  of  survivors  with  CHD.1  As  a  result,  PCPs  are  now  more  likely  to  encounter  patients  with  varying  severity  of  CHD  in  their  daily  practice.  In  this  chapter,  we  aim  to  discuss  some  common  pediatric  issues  that  may  be  encountered  while  taking  care  of  this  subset  of  patients.
