About the Clinic

When childhood heart conditions shape your adult life

Congenital heart defects don't end at 18. For the growing population of adults born with structural heart conditions, care requires a different kind of expertise— one that understands both the anatomy of your childhood repair and the cardiovascular demands of adult life.

The UCSF Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care tailored to these complex needs. Our team combines advanced imaging, specialized diagnostics, and longitudinal follow-up to manage conditions ranging from repaired tetralogy of Fallot to adult presentations of atrial septal defects.

Based at 3100 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, we serve patients across the Bay Area and beyond, offering seamless coordination with pediatric cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and primary care providers.
