Arrhythmias in Adult Congenital Heart Disease Heart Failure

Heart failure and arrhythmias represent 2 major causes of mortality and morbidity in adults with congenital heart disease. Arrhythmias and heart failure are interdependent, and one may exacerbate the other. Treatment of one also has a positive impact on the other. Management approaches need to be multifaceted, including pharmacotherapy, optimization of hemodynamic status with catheter-based or surgical interventions, and specific management of arrhythmia with device or catheter ablation therapy.
