COVID-19 and Congenital Heart Defects 

This study aims to evaluate the risks of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on ACHD patients by identifying ACHD patients that have been screened for or contracted the SARS-COV2 virus through analysis of multi-center patient populations. This study will assess factors that are predictive of the onset and outcome of COVID-19.
