EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association
Task Force on Practice Guidelines (Writing Committee to Develop Guidelines
for the Management of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease) Developed

Warnes CA, Williams RG, Bashore TM, et al.
J Am Coll Cardiol 2008; 52:1890-947
Riconoscendo gli effetti compositi di questa patologia complessa e non
comune e la scarsa preparazione dei pazienti e del sistema sanitario,
l'ACC/AHA ACHD Guideline Writing Committee ha stabilito l'importanza
di fornire un supporto alla pratica cardiologica nella cura dei pazienti
con cardiopatia congenita, emettendo un documento
di consenso che sottolinei le principali strategie diagnostiche
e terapeutiche e indichi in quali casi sia opportuno fare riferimento
ad un centro specializzato.
