AB  - The  number  of  people  living  with  congenital  heart  disease  is  rising  yearly.  Approximately  1  in  300  children  is  born  with  significant  heart  disease  that  requires  intervention  in  the  first  month  of  life.  In  the  United  States,  there  are  approximately  35,000  children  born  with  heart  disease  each  year.  Secondary  to  advances  in  surgery,  medicine,  and  intensive  care  unit  (ICU)  care,  most  of  these  children  live  into  adult  life.  There  are  now  as  many  adults  with  congenital  heart  disease  as  there  are  children.  Long-term  considerations  for  their  care  and  well-being  need  to  be  considered  too.  This  section  will  deal  with  some  of  the  day-to-day  issues  that  face  these  patients.
