Abstract

There are about 500 new cases of congenital heart disease per year in Norway. Modern diagnostic skills, surgical techniques and follow-up programs have contributed to higher survival rates among patients. Based on international experience, 85-90 per cent of these children will survive into adulthood. Half will suffer from conditions which should be followed up by cardiologists. This article is based upon recommendations on long-term follow-up of patients with congenital heart disease.
