Females were more likely to present with ACHD than males (p&lt;0.001). Atrial septal defect was the most common defect (43.3%) followed by partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (12.0%), pulmonary valve stenosis (11.3%) ventricular septal defect (8.0%), coarctation of aorta (5.5%) patent ductus arteriosus (4.0%) and Fallot\u2019s tetralogy (3.3%). Atrial septal defect was more common in females (p&lt;0.01), while pulmonary valve stenosis was more frequent in males (p&lt;0.05). No difference across sexes was found in the other forms of ACHD. Females with ACHD were significantly older than males at the time of catheterization (median age 41 years, interquartile range 26 to 53 years vs. median age 35 years, interquartile range 22 to 48 years, p&lt;0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In adulthood ACHD is found more commonly in females and is diagnosed later in life than in males.
