Why the study?
Adult congenital heart disease patients increasingly use emergency department care, requiring an understanding of common clinical scenarios to improve morbidity and mortality.
This consensus document provides standardized guidance for the emergency department management of adult congenital heart disease patients to improve clinical outcomes.
Supports standardized ED care for ACHD; leaves open prospective validation to improve outcomes.
Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients represent a growing population with increasing use of acute emergency department (ED) care. Providing comprehensive ED care necessitates an understanding of the most common clinical scenarios to improve morbidity and mortality in this population. The aim of this position document is to provide a consensus regarding the management of the most common clinical scenarios of ACHD patients presenting to the ED.
