Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients represent a growing population with increasing use of acute emergency department (ED) care. Providing comprehensive ED care necessitates an understanding of the most common clinical scenarios to improve morbidity and mortality in this population. The aim of this position document is to provide a consensus regarding the management of the most common clinical scenarios of ACHD patients presenting to the ED.
