Learn About CHD

Understand your adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) and find the recommended care, treatment and support you need throughout your life.

The most important step in managing your congenital heart disease (CHD) is to know the name of your defect, know what it means, and be able to find the recommended doctors and care options. The Adult Congenital Heart Association’s Clinic Directory, health information, Heart to Heart Peer Support Program, and research can help.
