Abstract
Heart failure is an emerging issue with important implications in adult patients with
congenital heart disease. Practitioners with expertise in both adult congenital heart
disease and heart failure are needed to manage this growing and often complex pop‐
ulation. In the United States, the optimal training pathway to enable practitioners to
best care for these patients is ill‐defined. This article explores possibilities and issues
that interested trainees may encounter during their training experience.
