The Center for Adults with Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) at Washington University School of Medicine was founded in 1992 by Dr. Philip Ludbrook. The ACHD Program provides care for adults with congenital heart defects from across the Midwest region.
Clinical expertise
The ACHD program is supported by an extensive network of collaborative services, including cardiothoracic surgery programs in both adult and pediatric cardiac disease, electrophysiology and arrhythmia diagnosis/management, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic radiology, including MRI, CT, and PET/CT, high risk obstetrics/maternal cardiology, pulmonary hypertension, as well as cardiac and multi-organ transplantation and other advanced therapies.
Physicians from the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program treat congenital cardiac conditions in patients who have been repaired as children or adolescents, patients with unrepaired defects and newly diagnosed or suspicion of defects that do not present themselves until adulthood.
