title: Manifestations of pulmonary disease in adults with congenital heart disease.
abstract: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are more frequently living into adulthood as their survival has improved due to availability of better medical and surgical management in recent times. Management of adults with CHD is emerging as new challenge in the field of medical science. Adults surviving with CHD for longer duration have been observed to develop more complications as compared to children. It is important to recognise and treat these complications early to reduce the morbidity. Pulmonary diseases are the most common systemic complications associated with adults having CHD. These individuals are presenting to clinics or emergency for pulmonary complaints, hence, pulmonologist must be aware about the pulmonary manifestations of CHD and their management.
