Adult Congenital Heart Disease Expertise at 麻豆传媒高清版

Congenital heart disease is the most common form of birth defect. Thanks to modern-day advances in medical and surgical care, most children born with serious congenital heart defects survive long into adulthood.

In the US, there are now more adults with congenital heart disease than children. This is evidence of phenomenal medical successes, but also means that many adults with congenital heart disease require lifelong care to live a long and healthy life.

Personalized Care for Life

The Weill Cornell Center for Adult Congenital Heart Disease provides individualized care for adult patients with congenital heart disease. Our specialized care maximizes the cardiac health and social well-being of our patients.

We offer patients:

        Consultative services, including outpatient and inpatient

        The most advanced imaging technology for diagnosis (3D-echocardiography, intracardiac echo, cardiac MRI, and cardiac CT)

        Cutting-edge minimally invasive surgical options

        Comprehensive cardiac and medical management

        Therapeutic interventional cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology therapeutics

        Partnership with surgical specialists with expertise in congenital heart disease and perioperative management

        High-risk obstetrics and gynecology consultative services

        Transition clinic for young adults with congenital heart disease (in partnership with Cornell Pediatrics Cardiology)
