Summary

This study looks at how growing up with a heart condition might increase the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Researchers will survey 1,000 adults with congenital heart disease to find out which experiences—like past surgeries or bullying—are linked to PTSD. They will also explore whether resilience can protect against it. The goal is to better understand and identify PTSD in this group.
