Psychosocial concerns of adults with congenital heart disease. Employability and insurability.

Abstract:

:Addressing the psychosocial concerns of the growing population of adults with congenital heart disease presents a unique challenge to health care providers. These patients frequently need information about their disease with emphasis on how it may affect their sexuality, childbearing, and risk of having children with congenital heart disease. These patients also face problems in securing employment that will provide health insurance coverage for their cardiac conditions.
