Zusammenfassung:Background The adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) population will grow with medical advances, but data are limited. We investigated the epidemiological profile of ACHD in Taiwan, a country with a congenital heart disease program since 1955, population of 23 million, and easily accessible high‐standard medical care. Methods and Results ACHD patients, born after 1954, were identified from the nationwide database 2000–2014. The ACHD prevalence in the population aged 18 to 59 was 140.53, 157.08, 182.45, and 217.00 per 100 000 in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2014, respectively (increasing time trend, P
