Abstract

Background: Hospital outcomes in women with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) are poorly understood. We aimed to define cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in ACHD. Methods: Men and women with ACHD ≥18 years old in the National Inpatient Sample (2003-2014) were analyzed to determine rates of CVRF (smoking, obesity, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation and futter, ventricular fibrillation, hypertension, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease) and MACE (mortality, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke). Results: There were 106,743 total ACHD admissions analyzed during the study timeframe with CVRF coded 181,246 times and MACE 106,941 times. Women and men had similar rates of simple (24% vs 18%) and moderate-severely (mod-severe) complex ACHD (47% vs 38%) (Fig 1A). Women with ACHD were less likely than men to have CVRF (p
