I met with the Adult Congenital and Pediatric Cardiology Council earlier today – there was much excitement about Friday’s release of the ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease. The Council intends to engage the 1,200 members of the ACPC Section in promoting this important resource to not only CV professionals, but also primary care physicians and internists. Issues of insurability and access to quality care are real problems for the 1 million adults living with CHD. Not to mention, for all those adult CHD patients, there are only 50 appropriately trained specialists. I encourage you to read the Guideline and share it with other physicians.
