Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Years ago, babies born with heart defects often didn’t survive. But, thanks to medical and surgical advances, many people who have congenital heart disease now live far into adulthood. To make sure they stay healthy, they need highly specialized care. Patients receive this uniquely tailored care through the Congenital Heart Disease Program at UR Medicine.

Unique to upstate New York, our adult congenital heart disease program features:

  • A team that works closely with pediatric cardiologists to provide the special care needed by young adults.
  • Tools and guidance to help patients stay healthier by optimizing medications and assessing for other problems such as high blood pressure or arrhythmia.
  • Sonographers specially trained in imaging of hearts affected by congenital defects.
  • Collaboration with cardiac surgeons to plan for future surgeries when needed.
  • Close connections to research that can provide our patients with access to new treatments that may not be available anywhere else.

Our Team

Our multidisciplinary group of clinicians work together to help patients and their families.

  • George Alfieris, cardiac surgery
  • Michael Joynt, pediatric cardiology
  • James Eichelberger, adult cardiology
