Adult Congenital Heart Program Clinic

Cardiac diagnostic equipment Michigan Medicine Congenital Cardiology has held pediatric clinics in Traverse City since 1978. The Adult Congenital Heart Program joined this outreach in 2013. With advances in surgery and medicine, the number of adults living with a congenital heart condition now exceeds the number of children with such a condition.

A Michigan Medicine pediatric cardiologist sees adult patients every 3 - 4 months at Munson Medical Center. Adult patients also are seen as needed in Ann Arbor, usually within two weeks.

Any heart condition that was present in childhood, even if discovered as an adult, is appropriate for the clinic. 

Individuals with congenital heart conditions, including those requiring heart surgeries during childhood, should be seen at least intermittently by a congenital heart specialist, even if that person feels fine. This is supported by the American Heart Association guidelines for Adult Congenital Heart Disease.

In addition to routine follow-up, pre-pregnancy counseling, and cardiac care during pregnancy are included in this clinic.
