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 are Board-Certified in ACHD and 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. The center of excellence team has experience with all defects from the simplest to the most complex. The Center for Adults with Congenital Heart Disease Center at Washington University School of Medicine is completely equipped to provide the highest level of care to this unique population of patients.
