Hi all. New poster here. I have been diagnosed with ACHD - fenestrated Atrial septum at the great age of 70. I am having cardiac catherisation on 17th to see if my hole (s) can be repaired via catheter as they are 1.8cm x 0.8cm. I am going to the Liverpool Heart Hospital. I also have bronchiectasis which is well controlled and had RI for Graves disease.

Hello Digger0

Welcome to the forum.

It must have been a surprise to find out you have lived all your life with your heart problem.

The Sommerville Foundation is a charity that supports children and adults with congenital heart disease.

It might be interesting to find out if you have broken any records😊
