Cardiovascular Management in Pregnancy: Congenital Heart Disease
Marked advances in the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) have resulted in a growing population of adults with CHD, currently estimated at >1 million adults (at least equal to the pediatric population).1 Many of these are young women, facing decisions about childbearing, and will require expert care.

general population
