11.1.2 Cardiovascular Conditions

Close consultation with the cardiologist is required if a cardiac condition is encountered, particularly if there is functional limitation.

The patient may have Down syndrome (trisomy 21). This occurs in 1 in 700 live births. In nearly half of Down’s patients, congenital cardiac anomalies are found. There is some degree of learning disability in all these patients, and immunological defects predispose them to infection. Down’s patients have a higher risk of developing acute leukaemia than the general population.
