Director's Description

The Duke Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program was among the first to respond to the growing demand for treatment of adults born with congenital heart conditions. Today, we are one of the Southeast's top referral centers, providing care to adults at our heart clinics in Durham, Greensboro, Fayetteville and throughout North Carolina.
