The third edition is designed to keep the reader abreast of the current status of this evolving fi eld. Worldwide recog- nition is refl ected in the International Society for Adult Congenital Cardiac Disease (ISACCD) that is represented in more than 30 countries (Chapter 2), and American recognition is refl ected in the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA), the fi rst national patient advocacy organization (Chapter 2). Survival has changed dramatically, literally reversing traditional norms. In devel- oped countries, approximately 85% of infants born with congenital heart disease are expected to reach adulthood. In the United States today, there are more adults than infants and children with what was once considered a disorder of the young. Congenital heart disease is no longer defi ned by the age of onset but more appro- priately by the age range that survival permits. Interest has broadened to include the quality of extended life spans. The third edition consists of 23 chapters grouped in fi ve sections—Background and Facilities, Survival Patterns, Medical Considerations, Surgical Considerations, and Residua and Sequelae After Surgery or Interventional Catheterization. Three chapters are entirely new—Chapter 2: “National and International Scope,” Chapter 7: “Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography in the Assessment of Adult Congenital Heart Disease,” and Chapter 17: “Cardiac Transplantation in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease.” Thirteen of the remaining chapters were virtually rewritten—”Echocardiography in Anatomic Imaging and Hemodynamic Evaluation of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease,” “Infective Endocarditis and Congenital Heart Disease,” “Management of Pregnancy and Contraception in Congenital Heart Disease,” “Genetics, Epidemiology, and Counseling,” “Exercise and Athletics in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease,” “Cyanotic Congenital Heart Dis- ease: A Multisystem Disorder,” “Psychiatric and Psychosocial Disorders in Congenital Heart Disease,” “Neurologic Disorders,” “Cardiac Surgery in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: Operation and Reoperation,” “Prosthetic Materials: Selection, Use, and Long-Term Effects,” “Transcatheter Interventions in Adult Congenital Heart Disease,” “Electrophysiologic Abnormalities: Unoperated Occurrence and Postoperative Re- sidua and Sequelae,” and “Myocardial Growth and the Development and Regression of Increased Ventricular Mass.” As was the case in the fi rst two editions, the fi nal version of each chapter was drafted by one author (Joseph K. Perloff) to ensure that the book reads stylistically as a single-authored text while retaining the advantages of expert collaborators, all of whom were affi liated with the Ahmanson/University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center. Although the third edition, like its predecessors, is designed to chart advances in the fi eld, it also recognizes that progress has not been without a price—indeed, it has created problems of its own. There are too few pediatric cardiologists to care for the large and growing adult population and too few adult congenital heart disease facilities to handle the infl ux, concerns that are the subject of Chapter 3, vii FM_i-xii-X5894.indd vii 6/25/08 10:39:41 AM viii PREFACE “Specialized Facilities for Adults with Congenital Heart Disease.” A generation ago, survival was the chief objective—to make it possible for infants and children with congenital heart disease to reach adulthood. However, prolongation of life is often eclipsed by problems inherent in increased longevity, the very goal that we have la- bored to achieve. Psychosocial and neurologic problems (Chapters 13 and 14), only some of which were anticipated, accompany survival into adulthood. Cures in the literal sense are few and far between. Postoperative residua and sequelae vary from minor to serious and, with few exceptions, require long-term medical attention (Chapter 3). Congenital heart disease is now recognized by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute as a chronic illness. Although life span has increased consider- ably, longevity is not normal. Hence patients are confronted with the prospect of premature mortality and with the emotional, social, educational, and occupational problems associated with chronic illness (Chapter 13). Neurologic complications have revealed themselves and are the subject of Chapter 14. The cardiovascular and the central nervous systems form almost simultaneously in early gestation, so struc- tural abnormalities of the heart may coincide with structural abnormalities of the brain. Disorders of intellectual development, cognition, and higher cortical function are major postoperative concerns. Pediatric cardiology evolved as a specialized fi eld when advances in diagnostic techniques and surgical management created an air of optimism for infants and children. Congenital heart disease in adults evolved as a specialized fi eld because the success of pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons profoundly affected sur- vival patterns. The third edition of this book brings up to date the gratifying progress that has characterized this fi eld during the past decade. In 1936, Maude Abbott published her landmark Atlas of Congenital Heart Disease, and in 1944, Alfred Blalock sutured the end of a subclavian artery to the side of a pulmonary artery in an infant with tetralogy of Fallot, establishing the now legend- ary Blalock-Taussig anastomosis. A century has now passed, and a new patient population has emerged—adults with congenital heart disease. The hopeless futili- ties to whom Helen Taussig devoted herself to in the Harriet Lane Children’s Clinic have come of age. Worldwide adult congenital heart disease facilities are gratifying achievements and testimonies to progress.

Our thanks to Yelba Castellon, to whom we turned to resolve many problems and who was responsible for the endnote arrangements of virtually all 23 chapters. Pamela Miner and Linda Houser, nurse practitioners, were dedicated partners. ix FM_i-xii-X5894.indd ix 6/25/08 10:39:41 AM
