Abstract
Purpose of Review
This paper reviews the latest literature on the growing field of heart failure in the adult congenital heart disease population.
Recent Findings
After highlighting the increasing prevalence and a few of the unique potential causes, including the concept of early senescence, this review begins with novel medical management strategies such as the angiotensin II receptor blocker and neprilysin inhibitors and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Then, it addresses the latest applications of percutaneous techniques like implantable hemodynamic monitoring, transcatheter pulmonary and aortic valve replacement, and mitral clips. Cardiac resynchronization therapy and novel lymphatic system imaging and intervention are then described. Finally, the use of mechanical support devices, temporary and durable, is discussed as well as heart and combined heart and liver transplantation.
Summary
There have been recent exciting advances in the strategies used to manage adult congenital heart disease patients with heart failure. As this population continues to grow, it is likely we will see further rapid evolution in this field.
