Data from a tertiary center and long-term follow-up	2024	5	.pdf	application/pdf	3557	212	55	It has been hypothesized that, due to the marked improvement in acute and post-operative care, an increasing num- ber of CHD patients will reach adulthood and even later in life.1,2 Therefore, we can foresee that the Emergency Department (ED) will consistently face an increase in ACHD patients with a wide range of clinical needs.3-12 Moreover, the lack of standardized evi- dence-based diagnostic and therapeutic protocols might limit the effectiveness of acute treatment and eventually jeopardize the pro- gnosis of this subset of patients.13,14 Congenital heart defects in adult patients were classified by the ACHD Anatomic and Physiological (ACHD AP) system.
