[Down's dyndrome and congenital heart disease (author's transl)]. 1980

Out of a group of 113 cases of Down's syndrome 50 were associated with congenital heart disease, confirmed by haemodynamic, angiographic and surgical means. The mean age was 36.6 months. Twelve were cyanotic, six of them because of an inverted previous left-toright shunt. The endocardial cushion defect, alone or in association, accounted for 40% of these anomalies, and ventricular septal defect for 26%. If the cases with right ventricle outflow obstruction are excluded, 50% presented pulmonary pressures over 70 mmHg. In addition, 80% of endocardial cushion defects presented pulmonary hypertension, being the three fourths under one year of life. On the basis of the data presented, authors remark the need of an early approach to specialized diagnosis of these children, in order to allow an earlier surgical correction or palliation than in children without Down syndrome.

D004314 Down Syndrome A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra CHROMOSOME 21 or an effective TRISOMY for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include HYPOTONIA, short stature, BRACHYCEPHALY, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
