The Johns Hopkins Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center ensures continuity of care for congenital heart disease patients as they enter adulthood and throughout the rest of their lives.

- Become pregnant
- Had surgical heart repairs during childhood that have deteriorated over time
- Develop acquired heart disease, such as coronary artery disease, as you age
- Develop pulmonary hypertension
