Provides the 2018 AHA/ACC clinical practice guidelines for the management of adults with congenital heart disease.
Establishes current standards for adult congenital heart disease care; extends prior recommendations via systematic evidence synthesis for practice and trials.
Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines (guidelines) with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health. These guidelines, which are based on systematic methods to evaluate and classify evidence, provide a cornerstone for quality cardiovascular care. The ACC and AHA sponsor the development and publication of guidelines without commercial support, and members of each organization volunteer their time to the writing and review efforts. Guidelines are official policy of the ACC and AHA.
