ACHD On-Demand

Adult Congenital Heart Disease On-Demand Videos

We’re proud to offer free, on‑demand educational videos for adults living with a congenital heart defect, making it easy for you and your family to learn at your own pace and revisit topics whenever you need them.

Throughout the year, we release three new videos focused on key stages of the ACHD journey, including the teen years, adulthood, and end‑of‑life planning. These resources are designed to support you across the lifespan.

Our most recent video walks families through what to expect as an ACHD patient who is considering pregnancy. The video features Dr. Scott Cohen and Susie, an ACHD patient who has successfully navigated two pregnancies. Watch at your own pace to learn how the Herma Heart Institute supports patients before, during and after their pregnancy journey.
