Abstract
The advancement in corrective surgical procedures and anaesthesia technology has resulted in the increased survival of patients with Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD). Most of the surviving CHD patients have successfully reached adulthood and those surviving adults now outnumber the infants born with the CHD. Unfortunately, the surviving adults with CHD do not get proper care due to either inconsistent follow-up or not getting care from a specialist in the field of CHD. It is imperative for general practicing clinicians to be aware of the congenital diseases as well as the current clinical recommendations. This manuscript reviews some of the common congenital diseases seen in adults such as cardiac shunts, left heart obstructive lesions, and aortopathies.
Keywords: Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of aorta, aortopathies.

Chronic Disease Self-Management for Heart Failure – A Mini review into Performance Gaps
Chronic disease self-management (CDSM)is a vital component of chronic disease management. There remain several important deficits in this concept. Its benefit are clear, many chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, rheumatology syndromes have shown benefit in quality of life and quantitative measures of outcomes. Yet, in congestive heart failure ...read more
The era of cardiac medication and implantable devices therapy in heart failure treatment continues
The heart failure (HF) remains a serious public health problem and affects 64 million people worldwide. Although advances in medical therapy and device assistance have significantly improved the HF outcomes, implications of HF are still dramatic. In recent years, innovative developments have been made in the HF treatment management, based ...read more
