Abstract
The advancement in corrective surgical procedures and anaesthesia technology has resultedin the increased survival of patients with Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD). Most of the survivingCHD patients have successfully reached adulthood and those surviving adults now outnumberthe infants born with the CHD. Unfortunately, the surviving adults with CHD do not get propercare due to either inconsistent follow-up or not getting care from a specialist in the field of CHD. Itis imperative for general practicing clinicians to be aware of the congenital diseases as well as thecurrent clinical recommendations. This manuscript reviews some of the common congenital diseasesseen in adults such as cardiac shunts, left heart obstructive lesions, and aortopathies.
Keywords:Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of aorta,aortopathies.

Advances in Managing Cardiogenic Shock and the Value of Percutaneous Mechanical Circulatory Support.
Despite the advances in cardiology, the outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock remain poor. There is an increasing interest and use of mechanical circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. Additionally, the complexity of coronary interventions has increased during the last decade with the potential of treating more high-risk patients ...read more

Chronic Disease Self-Management for Heart Failure – A Mini review into Performance Gaps
Chronic disease self-management (CDSM)is a vital component of chronic disease management. There remain several important deficits in this concept. Its benefit are clear, many chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, rheumatology syndromes have shown benefit in quality of life and quantitative measures of outcomes. Yet, in congestive heart failure ...read more
The era of cardiac medication and implantable devices therapy in heart failure treatment continues
The heart failure (HF) remains a serious public health problem and affects 64 million people worldwide. Although advances in medical therapy and device assistance have significantly improved HF outcomes, the implications of HF are still dramatic. In recent years, innovative developments have been made in HF treatment management, based on ...read more
