| Program description |
Our Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program that began in 1987 with the appointment of Dr. Marlon S. Rosenbaum is one of the largest and oldest in the United States. At Columbia's Schneeweiss Adult Congenital Heart Center, multidisciplinary care is provided that addresses all of the needs of our adult congenital heart disease patients. Our cardiac program includes physicians specifically trained in adult congenital heart disease with expertise in echocardiography, interventional cardiac catheterization, interventional electrophysiology, pulmonary hypertension, complex congenital heart surgery, and cardiac transplantation. Related care by specialists in high-risk pregnancy, genetics, fetal echocardiography, GI and liver disease, pulmonary, and hematology is readily available. In addition to comprehensive patient care, our Program provides Fellowship training in adult congenital heart disease and has ongoing research projects aimed at improving outcomes for adults with congenital heart disease. |
