As a result of improvements in care for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), >90% of children born with CHD are expected to survive to adulthood. For those adults, heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death. Advances in recognition of, and treatments for, these patients continue to improve. Specifically, adults with CHD are candidates for both heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support. However, challenges remain that require investigation to improve outcomes.
由于先天性心脏病(CHD)患者护理水平的提高,预计 >90%的 CHD 患儿能够存活至成年。对于这些成年人来说,心力衰竭(HF)是主要的死亡原因。人们对这些患者的认识和治疗方法不断取得进展。具体而言,患有 CHD 的成年人可以接受心脏移植和机械循环支持。但是,仍然存在需要研究以改善结果的挑战。
