Management of ACHD in Low Resource Settings | ACHD Guideline | JACC

On February 24, JACC's mini spotlight issue brings readers a focused look on the ACHD guideline. This interview with JACC Consultant Yuli Y. Kim, MD, interviewing authors Babar S. Hasan MBBS and Raman Krishna Kumar MD, DM, takes a look at adapting care for patients with ACHD in low to middle income countries. What do clinicians do in a healthcare environment where diagnostic imaging, advanced interventional cardiology, electrophysiology expertise, multidisciplinary teams, and structured transition programs are not readily available. Although the principles in the guideline shape excellent care in high-income countries, their direct application in low and middle income countries present considerable challenges.
