Philip Moons (2001) conducted a cross-sectional in Congenital heart disease (n=62). Congenital heart disease knowledge assessment was evaluated on Patients' knowledge assessed using the Leuven knowledge questionnaire for congenital heart diseases. Adults with congenital heart disease demonstrated important knowledge gaps, with poor understanding (<50% correct answers) regarding reasons for follow-up, deterioration symptoms, and endocarditis.
