Adult Congenital Cardiology Program at UC San Francisco

Director's Description

For more than forty years, UCSF Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program has been at the forefront of comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for adults born with congenital heart lesions, ranging from the simplest to the most complex lesions. 

As advances in pediatric cardiac surgery have transformed survival, a growing population of adults with congenital heart disease now requires lifelong specialized care. Our cardiologists have deep expertise across the full spectrum of congenital heart lesions, whether previously treated or newly diagnosed, including patients with complex residual conditions requiring interventional procedures, surgical repair, or advanced medical management.  

Our multidisciplinary team brings together ACHD specialists, cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, transplant physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and patient navigators — delivering holistic, coordinated care across every stage of life with congenital heart disease.
