The specialised articles on this website were written by medical experts and patients/parents, and are intended for people affected by congenital heart defects and their families, the interested public, doctors, medical staff and the media.

Corience is sponsored by the European Union as part of its Seventh Framework Programme. The objective of this web portal is to provide comprehensible information about congenital heart defects and answers to everyday questions regarding this disease. In addition, we seek to foster the spirit of co-operation and mutual learning between patients, their parents, doctors and scientists.

1. Disclaimer

Knowledge in the field of medicine is subject to continuous change as research progresses and clinical experience is gained. The authors and experts of this website take great care to present factual information in a form that can be easily understood. By no means does the information provided by corience substitute a personal examination or diagnosis performed by a doctor. No liability is therefore accepted for content made available by the operators of this website, nor for contributions made by authors and experts, except in cases of deliberate or grossly negligent misinformation. The same applies to content made available by third parties, which are merely linked to this website. All offers are subject to change and are not binding.

This holds true for all links and references within this website. Any illegal, incorrect or incomplete information, and especially any damages caused by the usage or non-usage of that information, is the sole responsibility of the provider of the linked page, not the referrer to that page.
