Prevalence of congenital heart disease
TL;DR: Survival of patients with congenital heart disease, treated or untreated, is expected to produce large numbers of adults with congenitals disease, and it is likely that many more adult cardiologists will need to be trained to manage moderate and complex congenital lesions.

Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula. Report of 13 patients, review of the literature and delineation of management.
TL;DR: Early elective ligation of CAVF is indicated in all patients because of the high incidence of late symptoms and complications and the increased morbidity and mortality associated with ligation in older patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sudden death from cardiac causes in children and young adults.
TL;DR: Among older adults, sudden deaths are often due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and terminal ventricular fibrillation, or high-risk behavior among older adults.
