Patient-Reported Outcome-Based, Comprehensive Assessment of Quality of Life of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease in India
ACHD patients from India report overall excellent PROMs including QOL, despite the majority having complex heart defects. Physical functioning is a key deficiency. Age- and gender-sensitive health policies, systematic early implementation of personalized physical activity training programs, and integration of mental health into cardiac follow-up merit strong consideration.
