Adults with congenital heart disease face unique challenges as a result of their complex medical and surgical history. Methodist Physicians work with Methodist Healthcare to make a difference in the lives of patients with congenital heart defects.
Facilitating the transition from pediatric to adult congenital heart care, our Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program offers seamless, multispecialty care at Methodist Heart and Lung Institute.
This integrated ACHD program includes outstanding cardiovascular subspecialty expertise in congenital heart surgery, interventional cardiology, clinical cardiac electrophysiology, minimally-invasive valve repair and replacement, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology and pulmonary hypertension management.
