Caring for Young Adults with Heart Disease

Young adults living with congenital or inherited heart conditions represent a uniquely vulnerable population—too often overlooked in traditional medical training. While advances in cardiovascular medicine have transformed care for children and older adults, a critical gap persists in addressing the complex needs of patients transitioning into and navigating young adulthood.

Our specialized curriculum bridges this void, equipping clinicians with the knowledge and skills to deliver truly comprehensive, patient-centered care. Through focused modules on congenital differentiation, syndrome-specific risk assessment, genetic counseling, lifestyle management, and advanced therapeutic strategies, participants gain the expertise to recognize subtle clinical presentations, tailor management plans, and support lifelong health outcomes.
