Abstract
Most patients with major congenital cardiac defects are recognized and treated in childhood. Today, congenital heart disease comprises a very small percentage of the practice of the adult cardiologist, the internist, or the generalist. Patients with congenital heart disease may be considered in two groups: acyanotic and cyanotic heart disease.
