Thank you
On behalf of all of us at the Cincinnati Children’s Heart Institute and our partners throughout North America, we enthusiastically thank you for joining us for the 32nd Annual International Symposium on Adult Congenital Heart Disease at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Cincinnati on June 7th through June 11th, 2022.
A longstanding collaboration between Cincinnati Children’s, the University of Toronto/University Health Network, and Oregon Health & Science University, this rotating annual international symposium is the largest ACHD meeting in North America. Every third year, the conference is held in Cincinnati – we are thrilled the conferences was held in-person.
Adults with congenital heart disease are a rapidly growing, understudied, and underserved population. This educational program is designed to meet the needs of trainees, established pediatric and adult cardiovascular physicians, advanced practice nurses and other nurses, physicians assistants, and other health professionals. The meeting will provide extensive didactic and collaborative opportunities for all of those who care for adults with CHD.

About the Cincinnati Children’s Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program
The Cincinnati Children’s Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program is proud to be one of the first centers in the nation to earn accreditation from the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA) as an ACHD Accredited Comprehensive Care Center. Our ACHD Program includes a team of faculty with a broad range of expertise in recognizing and treating issues related to CHD.
We treat teens and adults with all forms of CHD as well as those with problems related to prior surgery for CHD, including those born with single ventricle physiology who had a Fontan operation.
Our team has experience in pulmonary hypertension, cardiovascular genetics and electrophysiology—all of which play a part in care for the adult with CHD.
We have expertise in consulting and treating women with CHD who are pregnant or considering pregnancy.
