title: Evaluation of syncope in adult congenital heart disease.
abstract: Approximately one million adults in the United States have congenital heart disease. The practitioner who sees one of these patients presenting with syncope must have a thorough understanding of: the underlying disease process; the associated congenital heart abnormalities; the type of surgery performed; the potential surgical residua; and the natural and unnatural history of this type of heart disease. Several types of congenital heart disease including: atrial septal defects; ventricular septal defects; left-sided obstructive lesions; Ebstein Anomaly; tetralogy of Fallot; and transposition of the great arteries are reviewed.
