Adult congenital heart disease
Thanks to tremendous advances in heart care, adults with congenital heart disease can live long and full lives. Our board-certified team at the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program deeply understands the ongoing specialized cardiac care you need throughout your life, and connects you to the right specialists, resources and technologies to deliver the best results.
What sets us apart
Coordinated care
Whether you’ve been our pediatric patient or are new to our team, seamless transitions and close collaborations ensure the best care for you.
A focus on you
Congenital heart disease is different for everyone and at every stage of life. We make sure you get customized care for your optimal health.
Leading-edge care
Cardiology is always evolving. We embrace new ideas and developments to make sure you get the very latest care.
How we work with you
Our Adult Congenital Heart Program was created at Cohen Children’s Medical Center to address concerns specific to pediatric congenital patients and has expanded to include all our adult tertiary care hospitals. This expands our vital expertise to all patients. Working in broad collaboration across the Northwell system, we help adults with congenital heart disease manage arrhythmias, valve disease, heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
For adults with congenital heart disease, past heart history informs future care. Your condition and complications are different than those of adults with acquired heart disease. Our experts meet you where you are, and connect you with the right people, diagnostics and technology to get you or keep you on the path to heart health.
Whether we treated you as a pediatric patient or you are new to our team, we get an echocardiogram to help us see what is going on with your heart, and together with you and a carefully selected multidisciplinary team, we create an individualized care plan, both for right now and for your healthy future.
