Natural History Study of Congenital Heart Defects.
A strategy designed to locate and recruit individuals who were part of a study in the 1960s of congenital aortic stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, and ventricular septal defect for purposes of a follow-up examination is presented. These individuals are now adults living throughout the United States and some foreign countries. The present study, referred to as NHS-2, is designed to bring the survivors back to one of six clinical centers for medical evaluation to study the long-term results of medical and surgical treatment of such patients.
