Cardiac Issues in Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease

  • First Online:
Congenital Heart Disease and Adolescence

Part of the book series: Congenital Heart Disease in Adolescents and Adults ((CHDAA))

Abstract

The number of adult patients is continuously growing. However, although improving surgical and interventional techniques in childhood, a substantial number of patients carry persistent or residual lesions for the rest of their life. These lesions might predispose for late electrical, mechanical, or haemodynamic complications: arrhythmia, heart failure (HF), infective endocarditis, pulmonary hypertension, and re-interventions. Therefore, life-long follow-up is needed for most patients.
