The Weill Cornell Center for Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) is an ACHA Accredited Comprehensive Care Center. We provide individualized care for adult patients with congenital heart disease maximizing their cardiac health and social well-being.
Congenital heart disease is the most common form of birth defect, ‘congenital’ meaning the defect is present at birth. Congenital heart disease involves one or more problems with the heart’s structure, including the heart’s blood vessels, valves, and/or chambers, and can affect the way blood flows through the heart.
Thanks to modern-day advances in medical and surgical care, most children born with serious congenital heart defects survive long into adulthood.
In the U.S., there are now more adults with congenital heart disease than children. This is a testament to the medical success of cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, but it also means that many adults with congenital heart disease require lifelong care to live a long and healthy life. Our team at Weill Cornell Medicine is dedicated to that personalized care for life.
