abstract: The authors had under their observation 389 patients over 16 years of age with congenital heart diseases, 157 of whom were operated on. The specific features of the diagnosis, course, and operative treatment of the most commonly encountered congenital heart disease among adults were studied.

The authors discuss the problems of rehabilitation of adults who had been operated on, in the light of the study of the late postoperative results.
