The Individual

The conference ended with a sense of improved understanding by the cardiologists, medical directors of life insurance companies, and physicians in industrial medicine of the shared problems and of the opportunities to liberalize the restrictions on insurance and on employment of the adult with congenital heart disease and to remove them altogether for the individual with a bona fide innocent murmur. Like clinical cardiology, insurance medicine is an ever-changing field, and medical directors of insurance companies are willing to consider that they can insure many conditions they had previously declined.

Recent Advances

Congenital interventional cardiology seeks to provide alternative percutaneous solutions to congenital cardiac problems in preference to more traditional surgical approaches. Simpler procedures have been refined and are now achievable in smaller children and infants. More complex procedures are increasingly recognised as superior to surgical alternatives, though most patients with complex disease inevitably undergo combinations of interventional, surgical and joint or hybrid procedures. This review seeks to highlight recent advances in these techniques of most interest to the readership of this journal.
