The Adult Congenital Heart Program— a collaboration between Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and Stanford Health Care—provides comprehensive care to patients with congenital heart defects. Our multi-disciplinary team, comprised of cardiologists board certified in adult congenital heart defects, focuses on adult care and support for patients with congenital heart defects in their adult stages of life.
Today there are more adult survivors of congenital heart disease than children with congenital heart disease. A new report offers guidance on other organs that can be impacted by congenital heart disease.
Jimmy Kimmel’s heart-wrenching monologue on how his newborn son was diagnosed with congenital heart disease brought awareness to this prevalent birth defect. Christy Sillman, a nurse at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital, who was also born with the same type of heard condition as Jimmy Kimmel’s son, shares her story and how she is managing her CHD as an adult.
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
