Director's Description
Innovative program in Western Pennsylvania providing regionalized and specialized expertise through a multidisciplinary approach to address the unique needs of the adult with a variety of complex congenital defects. Unique to this program is the well developed relationship between the ACHD and Heart Failure/Transplant teams at UPMC. Together this team of physicians address the growing number of patients with heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and those requiring transplant evaluation. The ACHD program of UPMC has a collaborative relationship with the maternal fetal medicine physicians to manage patients with congenital heart disease prior to, during and post pregnancy.
